Guidelines for Report
Weekly Progress Reports should be printed out before meetings with the sponsor and instructor.
All team members should be able to explain all items on the progress report.
To start a new progress report, create a new webpage and use the Progress Report Template.
Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Complete Energy Analysis of overall system
Moving towards Designing a durable and waterproof case to enclose the generator
Looking into Fuel Cell
David found a fuel cell that could possibly work, but currently it is only intended for defense purposes
More research and contacting the producer is needed
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Reworked project goals
Energy analysis for new motors and full size Perfect Horizon
Analysis of energy generation and storage options
Comparison of video transmission equipment
Made calls to vendors about products and product availability (Trong and Sarah)
Gas Generators and Solar Panels
Redesign features on Buoy-Cam system
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Complete analysis of energy generation (All)
Generators, batteries, solar
