Automatic watering system

Automatic watering system

I've been using this system for the past 25years and found it more reliable than using batteries or electric power, when I first made them I turned the valves out on a lathe and used magnets to latch the valve on and off. But now use plastic water timers with the clockwork removed and a balance arm on a short up-stand, this operates in the same way as the magnets and gives the arm a definite on and off position when it swings over center.

This is to test the encoding from ffdshow h264 direct from Corel ProX2, It's 1 min of some video I have used before on Vimeo but I wanted to do a comparison I had always used SuperC but this entailed making a HDV 720P copy which made for an extra operation, dong it this way I selected Microsoft AVI and in options I selected ffdshow which I configured to de ...
