Week 8 Post

This week we continued researching materials for the conductive pipe. We decided to use pvc pipe for the non conductive section of pipe due to its price, ease of use and durability . We also decided to use steal L frame like the one these shelves are made out of, to construct the clothes compartment because it is easy to assemble and can be broken down into small, portable pieces. This weekend we will be making a trip to the hardware store to buy the materials we require. We also decided to fill the hole below the pvc pipe with gravel or rocks so the water can have a place to escape and  put a check valve at the bottom of the curve so the water that forms from the condensation from the humid air can escape. The check valve will also prevent the pipe from filling with water from the ground. Next week we will assemble and test our prototype with an anemometer we purchased.
