So much accomplishments, so little posts.

Last week:

Last week I made an outline for the trifold that we will start to develop later down the road. I also was put in charge of the first part of the presentation and I worked on the first few slides and scripting the first few points like the outline and the background information to sort of lay the foundation for the rest of the presentation.

This week,

I had an amazing time on the camping trip and an amazing weekend as well.

I came back to school to give a prepare for the presentation that I would be giving the very next day.

I gave the presentation and I had a relatively fun time giving it, along with my groupmates.

Today we worked on the outline some more for the presentation that we will be giving on exhibition night. Stay tuned.

Entry:

Today got off to somewhat of a slow start. I was caught not doing work in Spencer's class. So I went to my foreman and he lined up some work for me to do. Me and Aaron, to be more precise. He put me in charge of Aaron to take out the windmill and to measure its generated output. So I got our wind turbine out there with Aaron's help. Once we got it out there I was able to borrow a multimeter from the other Aaron (the Commerson one) so we could measure the output. To my groups surprise our wind turbine was able to crank out:

Low Wind Speeds: 1.5v-2.2v, 1.5A

Mid-Low High Wind Speeds: 3v-8v, 2A

High Wind Speeds: 8v-12v, 3A

Superb-Max Wind Speeds: 12v-15v, 4-6A

Great Success!

Today my fellow group members and I, had successfully survived yet another group check-in with our chemistry teacher Andrew. Afterwards though all three of us got to work on the computers in Spencer's class. I did research on wind energy, on subtopics directed by the head of research Aaron.
Joe helped us with the check in and he finished beefing up the outline.
Aaron did some more research and directed me on what to research.

Today I fixed the blades of our wind turbine so that the propellers were facing in the correct direction so that it would generate more power while facing the wind, contrary to the beliefs of my foreman Joe who stubbornly stuck with his idea of blatantly putting the blades on backwards. Most of the time today was spent persuading him to let me do so. I did so gladly.
Joe gave me clearance to re-screw the blades on correctly and he oversaw me as I did that. He also tried to measure the generators output with the multimeter.
Aaron diligently continued with his research.

Me and my foreman Joe, did quite a bit today in regards to working on the windmill. Before today, I had only set up the base and its reinforcements and connect the stem to the base. Now, our windmill is pretty much done. That being said, its sort of far from being the final product just yet. We plan to fine tune the windmill so it can generate the most electricity, we want the final product to be as perfect as possible.
Joe brought the generator and the inverter to school today and he helped me in setting up the propeller and the generator mounting.
Aaron continued his research.
