Current Status - The rings are mounted inside the chamber with zip ties.
During last week, we were testing several stitching methods to secure our rings to the chamber. Hand stitching and machine stitching methods were considered but we decided to not use them since they were very time consuming, tedious and demanding stitching skills. We decided to mount them with zip ties instead. After tying the reinforcement rings with zip ties, we used vinyl cement to patch holes. When we tested our chamber, it could successfully maintain negative pressure.
Goals for Next Week.
Final Test of the Prototype - Test our chamber for a last time to see if it has any issue.
Final Report/Website - Work on website & report by Friday.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting (03/09/21).
Ring Stitching - Zip ties would be our method for ring mounting.
Final Presentation - Sponsors will visit our final presentation.
