Flow indicators

Could anyone educate me on mechanical airflow indicators ?
What i find is mostly the ugly plastic rotary thing with spinner shaped like radiation sign.

Other than that i only find flow meters and sensors, which at this point i am not interested in. OcUK dont seem to carry any of simple mechanical ones. Interested in inline, long propeller type, tube shaped.

Point the finger plz

Thanks.

Have a look for Bitspower flow indicator

I don't know if this is they type you are looking for but IMO it's the best looking.

He means google it.

That link in his post is created by oc for shopping by brand name.

Gathered as much.

Google mostly suggests sensors/meters. i need just the mechanical part... The ones i find are cheap and ugly (mostly)... still researching...

You mean you just want a visual flow indicator rather than a sensor?

The Bitspower flow indicator has two variations.

Visual indicator only:

If you are using colored liquid (like pastal) it will be hard to sew any movement with a visual indicator.
Get a flow meter/sensor I say.

No, i will use only clear deionised + killcoil...
