3D Vapor Smoothing Project Summary:
- Two potential new designs for smoothing chambers were presented.
- It was determined that the project will be split between Design/Build team and a Metrology team.
- Design: Decided to pursue both the simple design that can likely be easily made by anyone (to promote open source knowledge) and the more complex design that give us more control over process variables. Initial mechanical design planned for next week.
- Metrology: Test coupon designs, graphene chemoresistive acetone sensors, and procedures for optical measurements/comparisons will be developed (potentially computer vision aided).
- Schlieren photography (optical or computational) of density gradients is also potentially an option. Tensile/impact strength testing is eventually desired. But a decision on whether we want to adopt those tasks as a Scence Sunday projects probably needs a committee vote.
