Week 4 (Updated) – Material research and bill of materials

psbhatia 2015-2016, 2015-2016 Triboelectric Energy Harvesting, Project Achievements

Our team had finalized a design for our project. The next step was to research materials to see just how feasible our design was. We split the research of materials between 3 individuals. One would look up piezoelectric materials, the other triboelectric and the last the circuitry needed. After we had each done our research of materials we had created a powerpoint with our conclusions as well as a bill of materials. We had presented our findings with our advisor and discussed how each material would function in correlation with the main goal of this project.

After our presentation we were given permission to purchase our materials and we placed our orders.

Next week we plan on creating our senior design posters as we wait for our parts to come in.
