Construction was delayed due to a delay in the delivery of the fiber drum. Once this critical piece has arrived, we can begin to test the functionality of the flush diverter.
Machine Shop Visit
Andrea and Knesis used the machine shop to cut the 5ft. PVC pipe into manageable ~1ft. segments for use in the flush diverter.
 |
| The team used a Hydraulic Band Saw to cut the PVC pipe. |
 |
| Each piece was also sanded to remove the burrs. |
Planned Turbidity Testing
The proposed testing for the flush diverter would measure the cloudiness of the water, based on the amount of light reflected through it. Although this is not an especially quantitative test, it provides a good indication of relative water quality and the level of contaminants in the water.
Next Week's Goals
- Finalize and submit the Final Report Draft
- Construct the prototype of the flush diverter
- Begin working on the tutorial documentation
