PROPULSIONS

News/Updates          Meetings            Projects             Reports             Deadlines/Gantt        

Current Projects:  Engine Testing for Thrust, Voltage, and Current on each engine that DBF ownes

·         Deadline – End of the Semester

·         Participants -  Mark D’Aprile, Dave Malling, Patrick Witmer, and any other members interested

·         Hours Worked (Approx.) – 2 hrs.

·         Conclusions – None as of yet.  We are still getting used to the operation of the new test stand, and are experimenting with set up options before true testing actually begins.  Hopefully the pre-experimenting will be concluded by Wednesday, November 10.

 

Current Projects:  Measure Coefficient of Friction for Test Stand and Inventory DBF room for propulsions related material (ex. Engines, battery packs, controllers, propellers)

·         Deadline – Passed

·         Participants - Mark D’Aprile, Dave Malling, Patrick Witmer

·         Hours Worked (Approx.) – 1 hour

·         Conclusions – Coefficient of Friction measured out to be .04.   Attached is a copy of the inventory for the DBF room, as well as the math behind the determination of the coefficient of friction.
