A pressure manometer that the pressure is measured by a funnel in a fish tank
PIRA: 2B35.30

Materials: Manometer, Fish Tank, Blue Dye, Funnel with Saran Wrap covering, Water

This demo is to show how you can use water to measure pressure. One way of using this device is to put the device in a tank of water and you can see how the manometer will move based on the depth. As you go lower into the water the pressure gets higher, so the manometer water will move. There are many ways to use this device but this is an easy way of showing how a manometer works.
