Ball Float

A ball float is a device commonly used to control the level of liquids in tanks, reservoirs, or other containers. It operates based on the principle of buoyancy. Here's how it works:

1. Design: A ball float is typically a hollow, buoyant sphere (often made of plastic, metal, or foam) attached to a lever or arm.
2. Function: As the liquid level rises or falls, the ball float moves up or down with it. This movement is transferred to a valve or switch, which can open, close, or trigger an action (e.g., turning a pump on or off).
3. Applications:
   - Toilets: The ball float in a toilet tank regulates the water level. When the tank fills, the float rises and shuts off the water supply.
   - Industrial Tanks: Ball floats are used in large storage tanks to control pumps or valves.
