Hydraulic system

This system is responsible for the flow of the water in the chamber and it is composed of two containers with a capacity of 1 liter each, a plastic pipe with an inner (outer) diameter of 3mm (4mm) and the water flow controller. A water pump and a water lavel sensor enable the constant flow of the water from one container to the other.
