Top 3 project choices:
1. Cavitation

2. EEG

3. Rube Goldberg

Week1 Narrative
I began working on the cavitation project by figuring out the different ways to draw a vacuum for the tube. I also looked into the butterfly valve and the different size needed for the tube.

The link below shows a cool demonstration of cavitation in slow motion.

Here is the CDIO Design page.

Week2 Narrative
The past week I began exploring different methods to cut plexiglass tubing. I also created a breaker for the solenoid mechanism, which will move the tube up and down.

My Second Task
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the second weekend. Link to any CDIO documents you are working on that need to be considered for project points.

Week3 Narrative
I mounted the solenoid on a vertical support and connected string underneath the tube to propel the tube upwards.

My Third Task
Work on building the cavitation machine.

Week4 Narrative
I worked on the vacuum pump and creating an airtight seal.
