Coanda Effect 2

/My work for Putt Putt/

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

My First Task
Create a new design for the tube of the Coanda porject

Summary of actual work over first weekend
Over the first week i had to create a new tube, I started with new material, someone had suggested Tcb but that weight in not ideal for what I need to make, so i started looking for better quality cardboard, because the one used for the old coanda project was very week, after about ten minutes of looking i found a for firm cardboard tube that seemed perfect for the new design, I used the circle cutter tool to cut a nice circle into the side of the tube for the air pump to attach. then i used a saw to cut a nice slit into the tube for the air to come out and curve around. after i got that done i used a tape to seem the end of the tube so air wouldn't escape. and i tape a piece of a window blind to the slit to help the air curve around the tube, i was successful and the air started to curve, finally!

Week1 Narrative
This week of creating the new tube was a big step forward, I finally got the Coanda effect to work the way I wanted to, the air being directly blown at the slit on the tube really helps the air curve around, and now we can finally start on the platform for the new design, which may only require on tube, and a source of power for the air pump.

My Second Task
over the next week I am responsible for the creating the new platform for the new design of the tubes, i cant use the old platform cause Marcus is using it for his prject

Week2 Narrative
Okay so i scarped some from this old heater, it's like a rig thing that i can use to prop the tube up

So i attached it to the platform with thumb tacts so that it isn't perfect i can just change it

My Third task
working on a way to cut the cord to the air pum and attach it to an external power supply

Summary of actual work over third weekend
I was supposed to find a way to wire the power cord of the pump to a mobile power supply, but i can find an good cheep source of power and i haveno money to go a buy one at this time

Week3 Narrative
I went into my dad's dell computer to see if i could closely examine the power source and see if i could use it for a power supply for the platform



But I realized i would have to break it in order to take it out cause i did not have the proper tools to detach the power source and look at it So instead om stripping wires and looking up online how to attach them to external sources of power the wires after being stripped looked like this

I'm gonna have to coder the wires to some croc heads, not sure if the red and black matter to which one i hook it up too
