This week, the team had the opportunity to participate in a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) peer review with other teams from IPPD, where we presented our PDR presentation and received constructive feedback. We also began torque and force calculations to further define our specifications and help choose subcomponents of our concept design.  

During our weekly liaison meeting, we also had the opportunity to meet with turbine technicians, gaining more insight into current processes conducted at NextEra and their difficulties.  

While this week’s Hurricane Milton brought class cancellations and chaos to everyone’s schedules, the team was still able to make notable progress on our project and began finalizing the logistics regarding our PDR presentation in Palm Beach Gardens next week!
