Topic: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

Scored a clapped out drinking fountain today.

Plan is gut the inside, put on stand with casters, 5 gallon verticle ice chest filled with Gatorade, submersible pump, 12v battery, and drain bucket. 

Paint in brawndo livery.

Any thoughts?

Plan is similar to this.

Got a huge light up arcade style green button to turn the pump on, and a green led strip to go behind the louvres

It is what Plants Crave!

a lethal overdose of brick wall, taken while under the influence of a Ferrari and a bottle of tequila.

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

I hadn't considered putting it in the car, was thinking a stand alone  "art installation" that I can wheel next to HQ or another central location. And be a fully functional Gatorade dispenser.

And maybe after the track goes cold switch it over to some type of horrible sugary booze concoction. ( With proper oversight for enforcing age of course)

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

Excellent.

Yes the car and team aren't the same theme.... Continuity isn't my strong point.

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

Going to get started this weekend. I'm going to use only food grade plastic tubing inside, so despite looking like a walking case of tetanus it'll be safe to drink

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

Question, What are you going to do with the runoff? Drinking fountains are extremely wasteful especially if you put something more expensive than water through them. Are you going to provide cups, or just have a catch basin for all the fluid that runs through everyones mouth?

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

the thought of a closed loop system had crossed my mind....   but in the interest of public safety the plan is to have a runoff container the same size as the supply container  so that it can't overflow, and doesn't dump green liquid all over the paddocks.

when I switch it over to booze in the evening i'm thinking cups.... I can't bare to see booze go to waste   even if it is the cheapest rot gut i can find.

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

Awesome project. Sounds like a reasonable plan regarding runoff. What race are you planning on getting it ready for?

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

I still have to wire it up to a switch, make a drain reservoir, and paint it.  I'm trying to decide if I want to grind the rust off, or leave it for "effect"

Re: Brawndo drinking fountain in progress

That's wonderful.

The only green liquid I can pull off is when my race car leaks coolant in the winter.
