Detail of soap mixture containers pumping through vinyl tubing

Materials: Aluminum, Steel, Glass, Air Pump, Plexi-glass, Vinyl Tubing, Soap Mixture

Function: Air pumps force soap mixture through vinyl tubing. The soap mixture collects on top of the plexi-glass tank and seeps through a succession of holes eventually building up a residue on the bottom and top of the tank which resembles stalactites and stalagmites.
