Construction Update + Research Presentation
We have officially put the flume together! Which was super cool to see and very exciting. I think that I have been working on this project for so long that it became something in my head that I never really thought was going to materialize. So I am super grateful for the DKC because they allowed me to take this project to the next level. The PVC welding was super easy and affective, and it was definitely the right thing for this project. I have been using OnShape quite a bit recently to design 3D models of some things to…

Bass Drone Troubles (and Other Troubles)
HELLO! Time is flying!!! I have done a lot in the past few weeks, and not all of it has been sunshine and rainbows, unfortunately. Within the past 2-3 weeks, I printed off a second tenor drone (both top and bottom) and for some reason, the drone doesn’t sound correct. I’m not able to get […]

Big update!
I am happy to say that I was able to put the flume together today! The epoxy weld has a 72 hour curing time, so it will be a little bit until we are able to put water into it. However, it was super exciting to finally put it together and see it in all of its glory. I am going to include some images of the flume: We crafted some supports with 2x4s and some spare wood to hold the walls of the flume in place, as well to add support so that I was able to weld the…

Flume Inspiration!
Entering college, I was pretty unexperienced in the academic realm of physics and engineering. It was hard to know what I liked and what was out there without being familiar with a lot of the jargon and concepts of Physics. Most of my experience coming into college was from working on cars, but I had never taken a calculus-based physics or engineering course. However, I did know that I wanted to work on moving things, and that physics classes were where I needed to be in order to gain the knowledge to do so. The second semester of my freshman…
