Fluid Boundaries

I’m going to talk about how to put Infrared Illumination kit together. I have ordered Infrared illumination kit here. However, I still needed to put some more suppliers( such as wires and connectors for actually making it runs.) When I’ve received Infrared Illumination, it looked like this. There was only Infrared illumination. It means you need to purchase something more like wires, power supplier, connectors, etc.)

When you take a look at this carefully, you can fine this “+”, “-” holes for connection with power supplier.

I had to put the cables together and soldered them like this

The other side of cables are needed to be connected to power supplier connector
Left : power supplier connector / Right : power supplier

When you take the power supplier connecter apart, you can see slots for connecting cables from IR illumination.

Here is the way you are able to figure out which part is ‘+’ or ‘-’.
When you carefully see on the top of the Power supplier, you can see the image like below.
You should carefully check the “+” and “-”. The picture means outer part of connector is ‘+’terminal and inner part is ‘-’.

I soldered them like this according to ‘+’, ‘-’ (whit wire comes from “+” and black wire comes from “-” on the IR Illumination.

This is completed Infrared illumination kit for conntectig to power supplier.

Now you can see below the IR illuminations in the real project. (3 red IR lights )

Although you’ve connect IR light to power supplier you can not see anything with your eyes since humans eyes can not see IR light. You can see the light like the image above only in the case when you see the light through the camera.

For my Thesis Project, had to go to Staten Island since it is only place where I can purchase the White Sand in New York. Here is the informations and my projector test videos.

Sand & Stone Mix Type: masonry sand mixed with 5/8 stone Sand & Stone Mix Color: mixture of beige, tan, blue stone Sand & Stone mix Uses: Sand & Stone Mix may be used to mix with concrete for fence posts, patios.

Bank Run Sand Type: fine-coarse sand Bank Run Sand Color: mixture of beige, tan, gold Bank Run Sand Uses: Bank Run Sand may be used for back filling trenches or as a Fill.

Mason Sand Type: fine sand Mason Sand Color: mixture of beige, tan, grey, brown, white Mason Sand Uses: Mason Sand may be used to mix with concrete & mortor for laying blocks, bricks & stone.

White Mason Sand Type: fine sand White Mason Sand Color: mixture of white, tan, grey, White Mason Sand Uses: White Mason Sand may be used to mix with concrete & mortor for laying white blocks & bricks to create a white mortar line. This is the right WHITE SAND FOR MYPROJECT

The test result was perfectly matched with my expectation. As you watched the video. It looks like more than real water!!
