We were able to submit our rough draft of our final report before lab this week. We feel that our report was fairly well put together so we hope to see a good grade coming back for that.
The 2nd round of 3D printing was started today. I will be checking in on that throughout the week, hopefully we can get those parts turned around rather quickly, without flaws.
The goal of this project is to design and build a working DC electric generator to be used for the charging of cellphones. This generator will be mounted upon a standard bicycle and will be powered by the mechanical motion of the bicycle. Through the incorporation of bridge rectifiers, capacitors, and voltage modifiers, the end product should be a custom made working model.
