Description

-So far testing has not shown a significant difference in sample readings, although not enough sample data has been collected. Will edit as it goes- After noticing where the hydrometer sources the air samples (sides and back), I wanted to know if it the sample would be tainted by having the air intake open to the silica holding chamber. I altered the housing for the hydrometer to provide a little more of a void at the back, to allow more air to sample from, as well as changed the vent openings so the only air it has access to comes from outside the silica basket. I was also hugely annoyed to need a tool to extract the hydrometer. So I added two recesses so you can get your fingernails under the face plate for when you will inevitably have to change batteries. I suspect a fan would have to be added to the AMS somewhere in order to test more.
