The pumps vibrate due to high friction generated between the plexiglass and ball bearing. To hold this tight we need a casing. Also we see that each reactor needs three pumps so we developed a complete box that can hold the pumps as well as the circuit. Even though they are in a same box, they are seperated with a middle layer so that the it gives extra support to the pumps. A window is made between these two layers for the wires from the pump to reach the circuit. Small windows are also cut on the outer cover so as to connect the supply, USB, etc | The pumps vibrate due to high friction generated between the plexiglass and ball bearing.

The stirring is done using a DC Motor and the concept of Magnetism. Therefore it has to be placed just below the reactor. Alligning the reactor and the DC Motor is very important so that the magnetic stirrer inside the reactor flask can spin in a constant morion. This allignment is acheived by our Foundation structure. It consists of a base plate that holds a simple but strong box like structure. Inside this box is floors or layers with three holes, each one at a certain gap from each other. The diameter of these holes are the same as the diameter of the DC Motor. These layers help to make the DC Motor stand and not wobble due to its motion. The wiring of the motors are done inside the box with open ended connections comming out of a cut window. | The stirring is done using a DC Motor and the concept of Magnetism.
