Pre-PID (Hurricane Week, part 2)

Hello!

Welcome back to our EvapoGATOR blog! I must preface this post with the fact that we had a short week here at UF again. Classes were canceled on Thursday 11/10 for Hurricane Nicole and Friday 11/11 for Veteran’s Day. Yay for a long weekend! Nay for campus being closed when we needed to 3D print :/

Despite a few classless, rainy days, the grind doesn’t stop. Our team has been very productive this week while preparing for Prototype Inspection Day (PID) next Tuesday. This week, we have:

  • Completed a SolidWorks assembly of the system
  • Met with Dr. Mac to discuss our progress
  • 3D printed components for the PID
  • Created and printed a table placemat for PID
  • Started a PowerPoint and script for PID

Everything this week is centered around our prototype and progress. We are excited to present to the judges and receive feedback that will help us through the next steps of our project.

While there are some components we do not need help with, there are a few we would like to present for feedback. We are still not 100% sure which designs we will choose for our condenser, phase separator tank, and frame. We have 3D printed these components and will present them to the judges for their thoughts.

Until Tuesday, have a great weekend, and go Gators!
