Coanda Effect

Write problem/project Goal
We're trying to create a rotating platform that uses the coanda effect

My First Task
I'm going research more about the way the Helicopters can operate with the Coanda effect

Summary of actual work over first weekend
The the first physical task I did beside research is trying to get the old coanda project, and that was a complete failure, the air just seemed to flow around and ant random. while i was playing with the project i remembered my teammate Marcus did some simple test with coanda, and i remember him saying that is all based on design, the old coanda project had the wind flow left adn down, and air doesn't curve like that, all the coanda test Marcus did the air was flow straight up o down. so i come up with the assumption that I need to come up with a whole new design.

Week1 Narrative
Over the weekend i was to go home and see if i could get the first coanda project to work. what i did was set the project of a table and used a hair dryer to blow air throw both ends of the tubes, the air would just bow right throw the tubes and wouldn't make the platform rotate, so seemed one side of the tubes, and blew air throw them, seemed the opposite side and blow air threw it. nether attempt were successful...

My Second Task
Find new tubes we can use for a new design for the coanda project

Summary of actual work over second weekend
Why i planned to do at first is use CD player to make an object hover, but i couldn't find a proper CD player to use. But what i did find is two air pumps that I can probably use for the project air pumps

The one on the right is cordless, but doesnt generate enough air to move the platform the one of the right is more powerful but needs an outlet, In the end i think we'll use both an just a attach an external battery to the cordless to boost it's power

Week2 Narrative
I really didn't do much, i was just playing around with the air pumps i had found
