    We would like to thank our sponsor Hal Slater for the opportunity to work on such innovative technology as well as our sponsor Dr. Kleissl for providing much needed assistance and guidance throughout the project. Without their help and guidance our team would not have had progressed very far on this project. We also want to thank the MAE 156B instructional team, Professor Jerry Tustaniwskyj and teaching assistant Greg Mills, for their assistance throughout the project. A big thank to the engineering staff at UCSD, Tom Chalfant and Isaiah Freerksen for all the useful fabrication techniques that they provided. Finally, special thanks to the plumbing and electrical services provided by Facilities Management through UCSD and MJC Electric respectively; without their help our project would not have functioned.
