Week of January 22-24 update

Hello everybody,

This week, I aimed to get the water to flow correctly in the HydroLoft system. I am so close to achieving that, but I did not. So, instead of writing about what I did this week today or what I will do next week, I will just write about the progress I have made by the end of next Friday, February 2.

Thanks for reading, 
Ben

Objectives for Week of January 22-24

Hello everybody,

This week, I am going to be missing class on Thursday, so my objective is only to get the water of the HydroLoft to flow correctly. That means not flooding the top tube, filling up the bottom, and not spilling over when the waterfall is active.

Week of January 16-18

Hello everybody,

This week, my objectives were:

1. Get the pump running for my system.
2. Finish building the non-electronic part of the system.

This week, I finally got the pump to work. I connected the system, and it worked great. However, the top pipe overflowed within fifteen seconds.

Although, I did manage to make the bottom pipe like the top one, so the system is finished except for making sure the system works water-wise and then I will plant some plants in it.

Hello everybody,

This week, my objectives are:

1. Get the pump running for my system.

2. Finish building the non-electronic part of the system. I need to make sure that the pipes are filling up but overflowing.

I'll write later,

The Week of January 8-11

Hello all,


This week, my objective was to wire my system from the pump to the timer to the solar panel. I did that, however, the system did not work. I am still trying to get it to function. Otherwise, things are going well. The pump runs only every two hours, so I have had a lot of spare time. I am currently upgrading the bottom pipe to be simpler like the top one. As soon as I get the pump system running, I will plant my seeds and test out the system (at last!).

If I find that again, I have spare time, I might pursue a side project. I'm not sure what it will be yet, but I'll write about it if I do. 

Thanks for reading,
Ben

Objectives for Week of January 8-11

Hello everyone,

Last week school was cancelled on Thursday and Friday, so I didn't write what I had done that weekend because I didn't have time to do much. As a result, this week, my objective is to wire my system from the pump to the timer to the solar panel.

Thanks for reading,

Objectives for Week of January 2-4

Hello everybody,

This week, I only have three Greengineering classes and I just got back from December break, so I am unsure of my objectives for this week. I will keep working on my prototype, but I am unsure of where I aim to be by the end of this week. Hopefully, I will have made good progress.

Will write later,
Ben
