Week 9: May 26, 2016

Hello, and welcome to the final HamPipe™ blog post. I know that this is disappointing for anyone who has been following along with the project, but all good things must come to an end. This was the final week in class where team HamPipe spent time doing anything other than presenting and listening to presentations. Today was something of a catch-all. Unfortunately, we were not able to fit a test in, though our number came up at the end of the period, we would only have had about 8 minutes before Ben had to leave for class, which wasn't really worth testing. As a result, Karen spent her time polishing up the final presentation PowerPoint. Meanwhile, Ben focused on editing the final report, making sure to add error analysis (which was left out of the draft). Finally, Noelle put finishing touches on the blog, and made minor adjustments to the heat pipe itself (the thinnest exposed piece of copper was a bit bent and required a bit of repair). Though this is all for our modest team, if you ever stumble upon this blog, feel free to direct any questions not answered herein to any of the members listed in the biography section (especially Ben). Thank you so much for following us through this process. Good luck with your various heat pipe endeavors. 
Sincerely,
Noelle Kownurko, Karen Chu, and Ben Teperov

Throwback to in-class testing wherein Ben was in charge of taking pictures and is not good at it.
