Today the group met to continue editing and improving the Final Report and Presentation for the project. Sections of the report and slideshow were distributed among group members to focus on individually.
We discussed the adjustments made to the PVC end capping to hold in place the rod connecting the gear system to the motor, as mentioned in the previous post. For testing, a small piece of scrap metal was duct taped into position above the rod's intended resting location to prevent the rod from moving upwards as the gear system turned, keeping it locked in its proper horizontal location. Should the turbine require any further testing, this apparatus will be more firmly put into place using paperclip attachments as we have with other rods.
We will meet tomorrow to compile a final presentation slideshow of our individual efforts and to practice our presentation several times to be sure we can cover the necessary details in the allotted timeframe. The group's progression through the project is in line with the original projected timeline, as planned.
