<p>Hi, Mark, thanks, I have not made one, but it could probably be a weighted down plastic container in the case of the fixed tank version. I have made a geyser in the past that was a 5 gallon plastic drum about 3 ft under can with pipes assembled so that it "Blew" when it filled with air and sent up a blast of "steam" (just fine water spray mixed with the air) and shut off and began refilling with air when it was empty.

<p>Hi, Mark, thanks, I have not made one, but it could probably be a weighted down plastic container in the case of the fixed tank version. I have made a geyser in the past that was a 5 gallon plastic drum about 3 ft under can with pipes assembled so that it "Blew" when it filled with air and sent up a blast of "steam" (just fine water spray mixed with the air) and shut off and began refilling with air when it was empty. That could work either in the tank itself or beside it as an independent control. Currently this is just an imaginary system, but there are lots of other ways to control the air. I tried a very quick experiment with the rising and sinking raft idea about a week ago to do a feeble demonstration but I did not have a suitable "raft" at the time. I just used an old flexible pipe coiled underneath as the float but I did a poor job of it. I think the concept is fairly sound though. Brian<br/> <br/> <cite>Mark Hall said:</cite></p>
