now we are continuing with making a video of the experiment atleast.
The following is the way we plan to do it :
Since we have multiple fliud simulations and different events , we decided it would be easier to split the animation into 2 scenes.
1st Scene where we introduce the apparatus and the water in the trough is baked :

2nd Scene where 3 things happen , water in the trough reduces after the injection is pressed following which the water fountain happens.

now both these scenes are separately animated into avi files.
then using the blenders video sequence editor , we plan to complete the animation.
