Our project requires that we use all of our STEM principles and skills to develop the most effective scrubber given our allotted time and resources. The step-by-step process exemplified by our website shows how the engineering design process has been use through the course of our scrubber's creation.
Materials Used
- Exhaust pipe for scrubber body on metal prototype
- Perforated aluminum sheet for metal prototype
- Commercial grade activated charcoal
- Plastic filament for 3D printer
Necessary Tools & Knowledge
- CAD software and knowledge to design 3D model
- 3D printer to produce physical models
- CO2 sensor to measure scrubber efficiency
- Central Magnet workshop materials to build metal prototype
Tentative Schedule
- December 2017: Construct prototype, create activated charcoal, design filter and hatch.
- January 2018: Start testing, develop fuel efficient replaceable filter and easy-to-move hatch.
- February 2018: Continue testing, innovate our prototype in anyways possible, develop a more efficient filter design.
- Mid March 2018: Finish designing, begin working on presentation, update website
- April 2018: Finalize website and presentation
