so if I figured this right, at 0.1 gph (small motorcycle idling) we are using 1.6 drops per second. and 10gph=160 drops per second. and 10gph is good for maybe 242hp. So not an easy range to fill accurately and inexpensively.

That of course has always been the problem. let me ask you this though.. How hard would it be to build a circuit board that would allow you to say hook 2 or 3 together on the positive side. In other words say you made a flow sensor small enough for a Motorcycle but wanted to use it on a big block so you hook 3 of these up side by side perhaps with small valve resistance so at high flow rates the other two will open and start working.. now we have 3 sets of signals that will need to be combined to send to the mpguino.
speaking of circuit boards how hard would it be to design this with the 3 inputs and an extra return line input to be subtracted from the others? Im a little weak in the electronics area of design.
Of course im looking at the optical sensor design so thats the type of counting input the circuit board would be sensing. Im thinking perhaps something with a small amp and maybe 555 circuit?
