ACD Meeting Minutes

Fall 2008 Minutes

October 16

Accomplishments

• Set up experimental apparatus again
  • Found new parts for the lever arm and stands
    • Someone hijacked several parts of my apparatus while I was out of town

Metrics

• ACD is flowing...

Outcomes

• Many other changes still need to be made to the apparatus before data can be collected
• Might need to order a few small supplies

Issues

• The float takes too much water to become buoyant, we would need a 3-4ft tall bucket to test its full range
• There are still parts missing from the apparatus
• The FCM-to-lever arm height is tricky to line up evenly
