MODEL V2.0

This round of tests were more focused on programing the environment of the model and trying to manipulate the particles as little as possible. The environment (watter) was altered in three different ways; for the first two, I added Sodium Bicarbonate to make the water an alkaline solution and covered the tiles with oil. For the first one of these two experiments the water was moxed with the Sodium Bicarbonate at room temperature; for the second one I created a super-saturated solution by boiling the water beore adding the Sodium Bicarbonate and then letting it cool down.
In the las set of experiments, I wanted the environment to be as 'active' as posible reducing the need for me to intervene as an actuator when the system reaches equilibrium for this I added large quantities of effervescent salts. The video below shows a few clips of the results of all experiments (including some of the ones published before in this blog, so jump to 1:18 in the video to see the new bits).
