Construction is soon to begin


Spring break is coming up, so there will be no construction during this time.  However, when I get back from the beach hopefully all of the snow will be melted and I can start building the distillers. I need to talk to Dr. Raichle to see how feasible it is to only build one distiller. This would require having multiple days of testing that have similar solar data. Other things that need to done include talking to Ray to see if I can have access to the construction lab in order to use some of the tools. I also need to see if Lowe's carries some sort of silicone paint material that I can coat my corrugated metal in.


Below is a quick model I created that shows some of the dimensions of my proposed system as well as some labeled materials.
