![]() Only natural forces are used to empty (Syphon) the siphon cylinder relatively fast. The Siphon Cylinder and funnel can easily be printed on a normal FDM 3d Printer (The cheap ones with extruders, like RipRaps and Prusas). I thought a Automatic Siphoning rain gauge may be useful to overcome some of the above issues. Disdrometers also requires complicated electronics and processing algorithms to estimate drop sizes and to distinguish between rain, snow and hail. Disdrometers may struggle to pick up small drops or precipitation from snow or mist. They are calibrated in labs and may not measure correctly in heavy rain storms. Tipping buckets have moving parts that can be clogged. Traditionally rainfall is measured with a manual rain gauge.Īutomated weather stations (including IoT weather stations) normally use tipping buckets, acoustic disdrometers (Distribution of Drops) or laser disdrometers. It is more accurate and leaking siphons should be something from the past. This project is an improvement on the Bell siphon Rain Gauge.
