This week we gathered all of our materials for the prototype. We tested several different kinds of metals in a fire and determined that black steel was the best option. As you can see from the images below the black steel pipe held up well in the fire, other options like galvanized steel pipe and copper did not perform as well. We are working on assembling the chamber and putting all of the parts for the prototype together. The prototype should be completed very soon. In the upcoming week we plan to test the prototype and prepare our presentation. Last week we also received news that Drexel had passed on the opportunity to patent our project so the engineering team plans to seek a patent anyway.
