Description

The Rain Simulator was created for an EDP challenge activity that required controlled rainfall to be simulated within a contained space.

The system uses a pump box to pressurize water and produce rain inside the rain chamber.

Teachers have found it useful for Engineering design challenges and Math applications.

Example of applications using the rain simulator are:

  • Designing a house to withstand a tropical storm and a rooftop using the Pythagorean theorem.
