Week 8

Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.

• • Design

    • Refined a Semi-Final Design in Pro/E - Ready to 3D Print

    • After Fabrication of the Prototype a more Complete Final Design will be Produced

  • Fabrication

    • We have Procured Necessary Hardware for Fabrication

    • Fabrication of the Prototype will begin after 3D Printing all the Components of the Sensor (Hopefully 2/29)

  • Analysis/Tests will begin after Fabrication

    • Preliminary Tests will be done by coupling the Sensor to a DC Motor

    • Further Refined Tests will be done in the Wind Tunnel

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• • Completed and Refined the Design of the Prototype in Pro/E

  • Procured Necessary Hardware Parts for Fabrication

  • Further Tested Magnet/Coil Placement

  • Updated Bill of Materials

  • Updated Schedule

Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.

• • Complete and Compile 2nd Draft of Report - All

  • Complete 2nd Draft of Webpage

    • Layout - Isaac, Eric A.,

Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments

• • Refine CAD Files for 3D Printing

    • Action = CAD Files were Completed and Submitted for 3D Printing

  • Use of Bosses For Screws

    • Action = Bosses were Added to the Design

  • Further Test the Magnet and Spool

    • Action = The Magnet and Spool were Tested

Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comment

• • Concerns about Potentiometer Tolerance

    • Action = Appropriate Potentiometers were Researched

  • Concerns about Press Fitting Bearing

    • Action = Considering Possibility of using Hot Glue - More Actions to be Taken upon Fabrication

  • Concerns about Clearance Hole at Top of Housing for Shaft - Possibly using Bronze/Plastic Sleeve Bearing

    • Action = Plastic Bearings were Ordered and a Plan of possibly Using it during Fabrication was Discussed

Risks and Areas of Concern

• • Fabrication Risks are Expected and Planned For

Resources or Information Required but not Available
