I hail from Christchurch Hampshire. I left roundabout the time it was "dragged screaming " into Dorset!
I have been living in Eilat on the Red Sea since where I am employed as a refrigeration engineer.
This system for linking aquaria by way of a “vacuumed-glass-tunnel” was developed in Eilat by myself,Laurie Lee Duman and my son, Rom Duman. [Hence the name “Romaurie”]
I sent details of the system to “Fishkeepers Forum” to guage response to the concept.
It has gained a lot of interest internationally due to postings on “youTube” “The Romaurie Effect” with video clips detailing how to build this system.
If you “Google” “The Romaurie Effect” now you will find links to many sites in many languages giving translations to the basic principals of this system.
It is not available commercially. All these systems have been designed and constructed by myself in Eilat where I am employed as a refrigeration engineer. In fact, it is using a principal of refrigeration technology, vacuuming refrigeration or air conditioning systems before filling gas to “pull a vacuum” on the aquaria by way of a “non-return –valve” or “ schreider-valve” as it is generally refered to in the west. These have been modified to sit on the upper parts of the aquria to connect the vacuum pump. I’m not using commercial vacuum pumps but rather “re-cycled” small refrigerator compressors for pulling the vacuum. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiRUOAwMpxI will take you to a video clip of the original construction and testing of the system.
