=Week 1 Narrative= Task:learned how a wireless charging station works.
 * Induction is how the station charge the devices.
 * Induction is the sames as electromagnets.
 * I was giving a crude electromagnet to study, it is just copper wire warped around a metal core.

Next step
 * Modify the electromagnet to safely charge a devices.
 * Make a simple electromagnet that will produce a induction waves to charge a phone safely.

=Week 2 Narrative= Task:Think of how I can improve the wireless charger.
 * Splice a outlet plug into the wiring.
 * Coat the exposed wire with a rubber.
 * Use all the same types of wires.
 * Make a case for the wireless charger to go in that will still let the inductive charges out.

Next Steps:
 * Get some for an insulation for the wires and put it on.
 * splice a plug into the wires.

=Week 3 Narrative= Task:Describe the device give to me because I have no idea what i'm doing and I need help.


 * All i have is a bunch of copper wires around a metal core.
 * I don't know what type of metal my guess iron or steel.
 * Some of the copper wires are exposed and some are coated with an insulator.

Next Steps:
 * Get help from teachers i have no idea what to do.

=Week 4 Narrative= Task:Learn about the coil.


 * I have a transmitter coil.
 * It is useless unless i have a reeving coil to go along with it.
 * The transmitter coil i have is in a mess of copper wires.
 * I Found this web cite that will calculate the Physically property of a coil of wire. http://www.daycounter.com/Calculators/Coil-Physical-Properties-Calculator.phtml
 * a video of both transmitter and receiver. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9leoL7SXo8w

 Next Step the induction charging works best when the wires are close together and don't have are room. I need to find a wire coiler, or make one myself.
 * Finger out how much wire i have, i can do this with the webcite i found.
 * coil the wire so that it is tight and neat.

=Week 5 Narrative= Task: Build a prototype coil

Doing: I cut a ten foot piece of wire off the wire coil I was given. I took a 3 foot long piece of plexiglass tube and cut 3 inches out of it with a hand saw. I wrapped the ten foot piece around the 3 inch tube and secured it with blue painters tape. There was a total of 27 warps.

Next Step Test the coil with by giving it to my team mates. Build a bigger coil. Build a transmitter and receiver.

=Week 6 Narrative= Task: Do calculations on the coil/ look at coiling machines

Doing
 * Coil Parameters Calculator
 * Wire Diameter 0.812(mm)
 * Number Turns 27(turns)
 * Bobbin Length 76.2(mm)
 * Bobbin Diameter	31.75(mm)
 * Turns/Winding 93.842(Turns/Winding)
 * Number of Windings 0.288(Windings)
 * Coil Diameter	32.217 (mm2)
 * Cross sectional Area 803.425(mm2)
 * Total Length of Wire in Coil 2.713 (m)
 * Resistance/meter 0.033(ohms/m)
 * Resistance 0.090(ohms)
 * Voltage at Rated Current 0.090(V)
 * Power at Rated Current 0.090(W)

This was a very basic and simple coil.

There aren't a lot of coiling machines for copper wire. This is do to the fact that coils are mostly used in coil machines are big and make huge coils for other uses not for induction coils. many people have built home made versions of a copper wire coil machine. it takes a big coil of copper wire and makes it into what ever size wire they want. They take an motor and make it spin a bobbin that takes the wire off the lager coil and spins it onto a smaller coil.

next step build more coils and test them
