Winter Design Review and Quarter Goals

KTLUU1 2016-2017 Efficiency of Aquatic Locomotion Using Flippers

Towards the end of last quarter, our team presented at the Winter Design Review. The video containing the presentation could be found following this link: https://youtu.be/sD10q_p_9Qo. We ended our project with a poster design review. Alex, Damian, Timothy, and I presented an overview of our project to several interested peers, alumni, faculty members, and engineering industry professionals. The poster is pictured in this blog, along with our members, Damian and Timothy.

The team size has shrunk, and now consists of Alex, Damian, Timothy, and me. Although there are less people, we will to continue to be productive this quarter.

Our goal this quarter is to finish up the tank, finalize the fin designs, make the fins, and test and compare the efficiency of our biomimetic propulsion design to the traditional propellers.
