Week 1 Narrative
Assigned Task: Set up function generator and view the waves on the oscilloscope from the hand crafted diode bridge and the PowerBot

This was the sine function displayed from the function generator to the crafted diode rectifier and then to the oscilloscope The second picture shows the physical setup however the oscilloscope shows an inverted function due to the arrangement of the oscilloscope's input

The functions are almost identical, so with the function generator and the diode bridge it is possible to replicate the induction charger's frequency, and thus function as an induction charger.

Week 2 Narrative
Assigned Task: To document a calibrated function generator and to find if a resonant charger would be a reasonable alternative to regular induction

To understand the difference between the function generated from the powerbot and the function from the sample diode bridge a calibrated graph of what the function looks like needed to be documented.

The same frequency is usually achieved through the use of a capacitor.

Next task: attach a capacitor to our system and document its effects as well as understand how a capacitor works.
