We had our weekly progress check with Dr Ho, who suggested with delve deeper into our design for the funnel again.
Dr. Ho drawings.
We taped the ledges we 3D printed to the wheel using masking tape, and held our funnel to the wheel to attempt to recreate our idea by putting pipette tips in the wheel and spinning the wheel by hand.
Slowmo video we took to observe the motion of the pipette tips in the spinning wheel.
To automate the spinning of the wheel, we attempted to attach the wheel to a DC motor in the lab. To do that, we drilled holes in the wheel.
