To Do in the coming week:

  1. Research – 1.1 different types of cooling units, 1.2 which method will work best for lease amount of money, 1.3 finding easily accessible and cheap parts
  2. Understand how everything will work together – 2.1 spend time in lab figuring how the machine works and will work in the future, 2.2 Asking more questions to better understanding

Concerns:

  • not being able to find affordable options for the cooling unit

In the last week i was able to find pc fans that we are going to use, as well as the ability to use potentiometers to control the fans. none of the items from last week need to be moved to this week.

TO DO in the coming week:

  1. meet with the sponsors in an in person meeting
  2. purchase/ wait for parts to arrive to start building the cooling unit.
  3. finding a potentiometer that is most efficient and cost effective

Concerns

  • waiting game for parts to be delivered

  • get the cooling unit build- when the parts come in

Concerns

  • the parts dont come this week
