Current Status - We have developed a method of attaching rings with ropes to the chamber.
The steel rings that will be going to be used for the reinforcement has arrived and we will be testing them on the Thursday. We have made a inner-skeleton of the rings which can be mounted to the chamber after taking off top and bottom plates. In addition, after hearing feedback from our instructor, we have developed a CAD model of our chamber for the visual representation. In case of we need to do some testing with it, we reached out to Edward for an assistance.
Goals for Next Week.
Check the reinforcement - Check if our steel rings can fix the collapsibility issue and discuss the needs for an addition reinforcement (steel wire).
Top and bottom plates - Take off the top and bottom plates to add rings to our chamber. Then put the plates back on to the chamber and check if there is any leakage after remounting the plates.
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting (01/26/21).
Foot Straps - Having a foot straps attached to the bottom plate make the user more comfortable and easier to pull the bottom plate with a leg movement.
Transportation Issue - Since it is a long drive for our team members to drive down to the lab in San Diego, we are discussing of bringing chamber to Kurt's garage and testing for the reinforcement.
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting (01/28/21).
If possible, edit the CAD file to black neoprene part to show as a coil to avoid confusion.
In case a steel wire is needed, we would need a bending machine to bend it before putting them inside the neoprene.
Test multiple times to check the leakage due to top and bottom plate mounting.
Risks and Areas of Concern
Additional solution needed if the reinforcement is not strong enough.
