I'm working on an electromechanical needle valve based on a Clippard Mouse valve. At this point in time and probably forever it's strictly for my own amusement: I like building and tinkering. I figure I need a solenoid valve anyway to turn off CO2 at night, so why not have it perform as a realtime metering device as well. FWIW, the Mouse has been holding 30psi as part of my CO2 leak testing now for several days.
It is a pretty simple device: the valve is periodically opened to permit passage of a tiny amount of CO2, akin to a "bubble", and the frequency of opening is adjusted by a knob, all of this managed by a simple
