WireWall project data, August 2018, generated during the dockside experiments performed at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton

The prototype WireWall measurement system was designed using bucket and balloon tests at the National Oceanography Centre's dockside, Southampton, during April to August 2018. Initially the electronics were configured using a frame of 6 vertical wires through which buckets of water were thrown. Once satisfied the system was recording at an appropriate rate for the wire spacing a single electronics unit was set up with 6 wires positioned horizontally to measure the fall velocity of water under gravity when a balloon full of water was burst at a known height above the top wire. The wires were spaced 10 cm apart. For each balloon test the velocity was calculated between different wire pairs for comparison against Newton's theory.

原型WireWall测量系统（WireWall measurement system）于2018年4月至8月，在英国南安普顿国家海洋学中心（National Oceanography Centre）的码头场地完成搭建，搭建过程中采用水桶实验与气球实验两种测试方式。初始阶段，研究人员搭建含6根垂直导线的框架，向框架内抛掷盛水水桶，以此完成电子系统的配置调试。在确认系统以适配导线间距的合适采样率完成记录后，研究人员搭建了单套电子单元，配备6根水平排布的导线。当在最顶部导线上方的已知高度处引爆装满水的气球时，通过该装置测量重力作用下水的下落速度。各导线之间的间距为10厘米。针对每一次气球实验，研究人员均通过不同导线对间的信号计算水流速度，以与牛顿理论开展对比验证。
