Question

Need help with sprinklers if anybody knows about it (geometry project)

Answer 1

need more information ...

Answer 2

oh, this one ...

Answer 3

Lol yes

Answer 4

So far i have found the sprinker heads to buy and pipes, i just need help understandng something about sprinklers

Answer 5

I couldnt understand where to connect the timer, and how exactly does the timer turn on the water

Answer 6

the timer mechanics seem irrelevant ... set it and forget it.

the placement of the sprinklers seems to be the key. and the coverage they provide.

Answer 7

some sprinklers go tck tck tck in a full circle, some in a partial circle, some are fans that that cover a slice ...

Answer 8

Oh ok, my teacher is really specific lols he would say where would you place the valves(which i dont know are) and he say ill take my buisness elsewhere

Answer 9

ever seen a sprinkler system at work?

Answer 10

Ok i guess my question would be i have a sprinkler that can go from 40 degrees to 360 degrees how many can a valve hold?

Answer 11

no ive just seen them turn on

Answer 12

i would not know about the valve placement ... valves seem to be used so that you water sections at a time instead of the whole yard at once.

Answer 13

These questions i could not find on google, or maybe i havent looked hard enough

Answer 14

Oh i see so i would not need a valve?

Answer 15

you only have so much water pressure to deal with, and if you have to many open port heads, then your coverage sufferes.

Answer 16

HMM ok, how would i be able to make all the sprinklers go at once?

Answer 17

This sounds much better than sections

Answer 18

youd hook them all together from a single pipe ...

Answer 19

Ok

Answer 20

How would the timer turn them on?

Answer 21

but quite frankly, the requirements of your project are not something that i think we can generalize here. nor do i have any expertise on a most efficient setup.

all i could do is offer some types for covering the lawn.

Answer 22

depends on the timer

Answer 23

Ok sure, i have found a sprinkler than run 26-38 feet and can rotate up to 40 degrees to 360 degrees

Answer 24

He didnt specify how wide the driveway was so i estimated around 10 feet

Answer 25

I need help understanding how to get the corner of his fence without touching the fence

Answer 26

in real life, we dont need to cover every part of the lawn, water will travel thru the root systems. and i dont know the physics behind an efficient placement.

sometimes you have to hit a fence lol

Answer 27

Thanks for helping me btw

Answer 28

Lol ok! That actually helps me alot !

Answer 29

So not every square inch needs to be watered but just enough? How many sprinklers would you think someone would have in a house this size?

Answer 30

i wouldnt know that part ...

maybe make up some squares that define coverage, and place them about the place to see whats possible.

Answer 31

Ok thank you. I appreciate your help once again!

Answer 32

the circle represents the area the actually gets wet

the square could represent the area that gets enough water.

Answer 33

placing squares is simpler than placing circles in my opinion

Answer 34

i see and yes i wouldnt wanna go thru the math of find diameters

Answer 35

Thanks amistre i shall go back to work

Answer 36

good luck
