      Its not a bad idea to do this once and awhile…

    OK, finaly I got my windowfarm going, i halfway gave up for a while. my problem lay in the fact that i was aming too high. I just could not get the water high enough, and I could not get my reservouar deep enough to get enough pressure for the air not to blow back down in the res. the result being thath i bought a small water pump to get the preassure up before incerting the air. now I actually get too mutch water so i had to build a bufferreservoir at the top and add reduction valves and a overflow tube.
    its quite the setup but it works and look good

      Sounds awesome, and I have seen the intermediate reservoirs before. Good to hear you managed to get it going.

    I must admit that the greatest problem with building a windowfarm is getting the bottles. I usually don’t drink soda at all so I didn’t have any bottles to start with. still working on emtying bottles
