Overview of Status of Analysis and Design
Initial housing design of system finalized
Drag analysis on initial design performed
Parts chosen for design
Preliminary motor analysis performed
3-D printed materials tested
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Initial housing design completed and potential parts chosen
Risk reduction analysis completed
Drag analysis performed
Tested to see how much propulsion required by the motor system
Brushless motor analyzed and researched
Learned to use brushless motors
Checked to see if supplied enough torque
Soaking test performed on 3D materials
Aimed to see which absorbs the least amount of water to use for the housing of our submerged system
Presentation completed for Risk Reduction final
Met Jules briefly
Goals for next week
Spring Break!!! Have fun and relax - all
Celebrate our progress - all
Additional water absorption testing
Buoyancy control ideas finalized
Sponsor Comments from last meeting
Motor acquired and controller recommended
Should be similar to motor used in open loop project 156A in terms of driving
Risks
Obtaining housing and thrust system on time
New design approval from sponsor
Resources or Info Required but nor Available
Budget information - waiting for Jules and initial design approval
Schedule
Buoyancy control researched and ideas before end of break
Progress on Report and Webpage
Risk Reduction report completed
Website continually updated
