Magnetically-actuated valve stops floods before they happen
Article Abstract:
A magnetically actuated shut off valve system is developed to prevent sinks and baths overflowing but also has potential use in other hydraulic systems. A new version of James Barnham's patented 'Nova-Flo' that is suitable for commercial production is designed using SolidWorks software and it can be used in preventing overflowing in process plant vessels and other industrial and commercial applications.
