It's an exciting day in ENGR 103, Group HamPipe gained a new member: Cameron Knickerbocker. The group was overjoyed at the prospect of having another person to join this adventure, but did not let the excitement distract them from their diligent working. Though sleep deprived, Ben and Noelle steadily produced several IEEE references to add the the blog, and discussed plans for fabrication. Karen took Cameron under her wing, explaining the plan such as it is for the HamPipe, and the basics of a heat pipe in general. She also added an impressive amount to the CAD creation of the heat pipe; a task which passed to her because Ben realized that along with other engineering ventures, he also hates CAD. Noelle spent a good chunk of time adding to the blog, so as to keep both it and it's readers updated. She also worked on sections beyond the weekly updates, because at this point a majority of the research has been gathered in a Google Doc, and needs to be re-compiled in the blog. All of the parts have been ordered, and the basic heat pipe plans have been penned and await with bated breath the weekend of fabrication. Speaking of fabrication weekend, Group 7 solidified their plans for getting together at Noelle's house and creating their first HamPipe. All told, this week has been fairly productive, though it was made slightly less productive because none of the parts had yet arrived, so they could be neither examined nor tested. Stay tuned for further updates.
Update: April 28, 2016
The group has suffered the tragic loss of Cameron, and has now reverted back to the original members: Karen Chu, Noelle Kownurko, and Ben Teperov.
