The country of the Soviets will tell you how the bubble panel. A bubble panel, or an airfall, can be made by yourself. But here it is necessary to tinker a little. It is best to practice first on smaller structuresso that you can understand the physics of air bubbles. As they rise, what is needed to dissipate them, etc. Also you will need certain materials.

- cellular plexiglas
- silent compressor
- air vinyl hose
- spray
- check valve (if the compressor is located at the bottom of the panel)
- illumination
- glue
The design of the air bubble panel is not anything complicated. You will have podium, which will hold the panel, the panel itself and the lid, which will cover the entire structure from getting into it dust or other dirt.
Also, think about the light in advance. Various backlight colors will create beautiful lighting effects. But again, we need to think whichthe backlight you want to use. LEDs, of course, are very economical. But they shine through the water only 30 cm. Therefore, most often use LED-backlight - neon light bulbs. Do not forget about the RGB controller to control the backlight. The backlight can be placed from the bottom, on the sides or on top of the panel.
How to make a bubble panel
So, in the lower part, i.e., the podium of the air bubble panel, you should install aeration system, compressor, check valve, power supply, RGB controller and backlight module. If you have a compressor at the top of the panel, you do not need a check valve. When the compressor is turned off, the water will not fall on the tube, but will remain at its level.
The construction should be erected on a plexiglass pan. A light will be visible through the glass. It is also necessary to leave a little water in the pan to keep the water column constantly. From the compressor it is necessary to start up the tube, from which air bubbles will enter the holes of the honeycomb glass. To air bubbles do not accumulate in one heap, you should use an acrylic sprayer, in which holes are made. In each tube you have to adjust the outlet. By adjusting the holes, it will be possible to form a diameter of the air bubbles.
Also do not forget to think about where you will have a tank through which you will add water. Water after a while in any case will beevaporate, because the bubble panel will not be hermetically sealed. You can arrange a tank for adding water both from above and from the bottom of the panel. It will also be a good idea to make a valve for draining water if it needs to be changed.
It is worth remembering that the manufacture of a bubble panel is an accurate and long process. It is necessary to take into account a lot of nuances: as you will bring pipes with sprayers, sealing connections, lighting and the water itself, which will be in the panel. The panel should be filled with distilled water, sometimes a small amount of glycerin is added to it.
As you can see, the bubble panel with your own hands -it is not easy, but much cheaper than the purchase. If you feel the strength to make yourself an air bubble panel, then you can bravely get down to business.
