Prototype Update
The boys managed to get the prototype working today. We tested 2 scenarios one with holes in the box and one without. Basically, we drilled holes into the side of the container because we needed the air flow to create the vortex. It worked pretty well both ways, now we need to think about how to contain the smoke properly. Then look at dimensions for the final container. Testing is a bit hard in studio because we don’t have a way to contain the smoke, so all testing has to be done at home.
First Test w/ container, fan and battery.
Second test w/ holes drilled into container.
Compared to the pace we were going at during our last project idea, this one is coming along way faster. The first prototype is done and has been tested. Our message behind the project has been finalised and we are working on how we’re going to be conveying this to the audience without too much explanation. Sangeeta mentioned that the presentation should be related to the idea or we lose the value behind it. The work has been divided between us (what we know needs to be done). We’re on track to having this done pretty soon so that we can develop ideas further.
