Tesla inspired One Way Valve
thingiverse
This experimental design is inspired by Tesla's original 2D one-way valve concept; a similar design exists (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:23947) that functions as a muffler while possibly improving flow. Tested with water flow via shower hose connectors, the curve (x = 16pow(3,sin (t)), y = 13cos(t) - 5cos(2t) - 2cos(3t) - cos(4*t)) was generated for rotary extrusion using a libre calc sheet and macro. Print at a slightly lower position to the build platform for better mounting, as the connector features an inward cone; print with spikes facing upwards to avoid requiring support that cannot be removed.
