Recently, many systems using ElectroRheological (ER) fluid have been proposed such as damper, actuator, touch panel, and so on. This paper develops an adjustable liquid timer using ER suspension. The proposed liquid timer demonstrates a capacity to change the falling time. This paper evaluates the proposed liquid timer on electric field versus falling time characteristics. As a result, the proposed liquid timer linearly adjusts the falling time from 1 minute to 6 minutes via electric field.
