Week 9 Lab

Considerable progress was made in lab today. The ribs were sanded and reamed to fit within their connecting bracket. The final bracket is printing and should be done as of now. Metal bar, that was ordered previously, has been cut, drilled, and mounted to the bicycle using bolts. This will serve as a mounting point for the dynamo. The electrical circuitry fits within the container incorporated into one of the ribs. The gears were sanded slightly so the fit together better. The gear shafts were also cut to length. All that is left is to attach the second bracket, secure the full dynamo, set up the gear train including the motor, attach the motor to the electrical circuitry, mount the dynamo to the bike, and perform testing.
