These two weeks have been very productive for me. For the Tautochrone Brachistochrone Cycloid, I have created a completely new prototype. The old one was made out of flimsy cardboard. This new prototype that I have made is made out of wood. When we got the wood, it was too big for the laser cutter. I had to learn how to use the circular saw and cut the wood to fit in the laser cutter. Once I was able to do that, i was able to load the previous design with different setting and it was able to cut through the wood. I was able to make the wood prototype within a few days. The second thing I did was continue with my primary project. After seeing my last post, Mr Moss suggested that I do an above ground test of the gears. I have thought and have started creating a basic design for this above ground test. Mr. Moss also suggested to not use a motor to turn the gears. He suggested that I make a hand crank. I am currently creating this as well. Last but not least, I have began searching up options to create my 3D Bust.

Wood that can fit in the laser cutter
Initial design of wood prototype
Final design of wood prototype
Laser Cut some more gears
Notice how the gears have been doubled up. This is for the hand crank. I plan to put some string in the middle and wind up and down with the crank.
