Dehumidifier

Almost done with my engine dehumidifier. Some RTV and some sort of connection to the oil refill tube and the case ventilation and I am done.

Air from the engine goes thru the large box into the bottom of the smaller box (that will be filled with reusable moisture absorbent material). The air then goes thru the holes in the small box lid, into the large box. This now much dryer air is sucked up by the aquarium pump, pushed thru the other hose back into the engine. This closed looped system results in that the air moisture content in the engine  quickly falls below the level were corrosion can occur. Very good for an engine when it might go weeks between flights in winter time.
