It was our biggest week so far, we did so many things, so this time I devided the log in two parts :
- First, on Monday we upgraded the water wheel. Even if it was already working, the effeciency wasn't that good, so we added two disk, and the result was way better than the original.
Because we had other courses we couldn't do anything more, however we planed to do the other parts on tuesday and wednesday, because we had more free time but also because we could have a better access to the laser cutter
- On Tuesday :
- First after adding support for the wheel, we showed at our teachers how advanced was our project :
Then due to approching deadlines, we decide after a quick prototype to replaced the upper part of our base with just a little platforms for the wheel supports, because we prefer to have a fountain that work instead of a unfinished project that look good :
After that we made a little assembly with a bucket to stocked water and showed to the teachers that our water wheel worked :
Then to finished this day, we have done a little showcase of the project to our teachers to show them how our water wheel worked. Even if they find it good, they were clear, we only have one week left, and if we want to finish our project and link the base with the wheel, we needed 3 WEEKS ! So it was clear that according to them, our project was over... But that wasn't our feeling, WE WILL DO ANYTHING IN OUR POWER TO FINISH IT !!
