Week2 Narrative
Over the weekend I sketched some designs that I thought would make Core Control more automated. I used 3DTin to model a basic version of the initial desgin. Others I came up with include, the handle moving on a rail, a pulley mechanism, a new design where the water loops around the tube, a new sphere design which makes it more compact, and a design where the components are in a box wrapped around the tube. The L-Shape design and the simple switch design were my reach designs since these were the designs I had to squeeze out after I could not come up with anymore designs. Coming up with 10 designs was harder than I thought, and in the end I could only come up with 8. After the first 5 it became hard to not reuse previous designs and I found myself practically drawing the same designs so I scrapped those. I favored the loop design with the pressure pad so I modeled it as well.

10/10/40 ... incredible ... perfect .. need to clean up the wiki editing ... see my comments to SharonInchrs ... wow! --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:41, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Week3 Narrative
I found that the HVAC department in the Home Depot website had a good selection of parts for this project. The water duct that surrounds the Core Control on the Loop design can be made with either the 4 inch diameter duct tubing or the 6 inch diameter duct tubing. Inside the duct tubing can go a 4 inch duct fan or a 6 inch duct fan. This would replace the aquarium pump currently being used to allow the water to circulate into the Core Control handle. If it were to be made again from scratch, increasing the diameter of the PVC to 6 inches would help fit bigger arms. This cap would seal the PVC better than the rubber seal currently on it since this can be glued shut to the PVC. I was unable to find something I could use as a switch to sense when someone grabs the handle but I found a guide on how to make a pressure pad which could be the solution.

10/10/0 ... I fail to see how this replaces the water ... cold air can not replace cold water .. how are you going to cool the air? I am totally lost as to what problem you are trying to solve ... the links don't see to add value ... looks like you are trying to solve the air scrubbing problem we are having with the laser cutter ... --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 15:25, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Week4 Narrative
Over the weekend I tried to connect the water supply to the core control unit. I tried to simply attach a protein container to the end of the unit using tape.

Unclear where the power cord is to the water pump. Unclear whether was leak tested. Unclear what test was to see if doesn't fall off when loaded with water. Maybe these are next steps? If so they need to be listed. 10/5/40 --1sfoerster (discuss • contribs) 16:12, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
