We are excited to have started prototyping our final (for this quarter) design! Our team has been learning how to weld and are going to spend the next week figuring out how to do the following through welding:
Jierui unfortunately has COVID, so she'll be taking a lighter load this week. Jierui will be working on researching available materials and their costs from the list above so that they will be readily available when we put the shredder together. Isabella will be working on a testing plan for the shredders specifications for the remainder of the quarter. We have some rough experiment ideas to measure different aspects. We have thought of experiments to measure momentum required to knock over the stalk so that we can identify the right motor with the right rpm that will generate this momentum. We will also be testing whether the blades hit at the right angle and the depth at which the blades hit the stalk to understand the effectiveness of the shredder design. Here is the link the to testing plan: click here. This doc will be constantly evolving as we update some of our ideas. We would love to hear your thoughts on these tests and if you can think of better experiments to measure these parameters (feel free to leave comments on the doc!). We would also love any welding experts to help us out with learning and determining which type of welding is suitable for different aspects of the design. ~Boomitra team
