It could be worth a shot! We have a post-disaster part of our work as well, that is a really valuable process in my eyes.

Most times when we get back, if we've built a system to be implemented in the field, we actually rebuild it as home, in our workshop with central A/C, component walls, and PCB mills, just to see how it can be improved, and if we can send any suggestions to the people we left the project with in the field.

You are not providing sufficient data, all we have is the distance of water level from surface and type of power used.

any online library/biblioteque accessible? Genre: Computer science, hack, 3D.

free pdfs would be great.

It's a while i can't find any 3D implementation.

But we are at the end of the hour, and if Laurel needs to get back to work we should let her. Feel free to stay on and chat as long as you want, though. For now, I just want to say thanks to Laurel for her time today, and for an interesting discussion. I think I've got some stuff I need to do to start getting better at this game - deliver something quickly and then work from there.

Dan Maloney1:05 PM
Thanks Laurel! And remember that we'll be sort of continuing this theme next week wit Dr. Tarek Lobani, talking about 3D-printed medical devices:

This was a great time! Thanks for the opportunity to talk about this, I appreciate being able to share how engineering techniques can change drastically depending on where you are doing the engineering. Thanks for hosting, Dan!

Dave Zirkle1:06 PM
Thanks Laurel!

Nicolas Tremblay1:06 PM
Thank you Laurel. You left us plenty to think about. It's been a great chat

Laurel Cummings1:07 PM
I'm happy to keep talking about the pump, or any other problems, if people are interested. The time frame on the pump one has kind of expired, but if you'd like to follow-up, anyone's welcome to email me at laurel@buildingmomentum.us or message me on here!

Laurel Cummings1:07 PM
Thank you all for coming out to talk about this, I have a few more minutes if anyone has any lingering questions!
