Vascular Bypass Flow Simulator

Design a model of a human arterial system that demonstrates how to bypass a restricted blood vessel using a synthetic graft. You must create a functional fluid circuit that maintains steady flow despite a simulated arterial blockage while preventing leaks at the connection points. Your device will be evaluated based on the pressure consistency and the structural integrity of your bypass connection.
Materials: Flexible plastic tubing, food coloring dyed water, small hand pump or large syringe, tape, waterproof sealant or clay, and cardboard support structure.
