Concept+Development+Document

Oct 26

The CDD document has met editorial approval and is ready to submit. Its a Whoping 18 pages (including title page, ToC, pix, & appendices). Overall I think its an excellent piece of work, so well done everyone. However, tomorrow we will have to have a little discussion on writing style I think as editing this puppy was definitely a task. Also tomorrow be prepared to discuss our first design review!



I will try to get that bio to you tomorrow, but I can't seem to find a digital picture of me any where!

Cheers,

William

P.S. I vote for logo numero uno!!

Why thank you Michael, but I must give credit to Andrew for the cam model!

Pulley Description A motor will rotate a pulley, or sprocket, in order to move a mass, attached to the cable or chain, up and down. The mass will slide up and down on a pole inorder to provide some stability and ensure it moves on a linear, vertical path. The motor’s angular position will be controlled as it moves in both the forward and reverse direction.

Here's my part too. Andrew, I'll send my bio soon. Definitely by our meeting on Wednesday. And kudos to Mitch for the sweet CAD drawings.

Mike

I vote #1! Here's the pictures...

Here is the cam system portion of the CDD and related calculations which could be placed in the Appendices. I have also added a related conceptual design which is between a cam system and the piston system. If it overlaps with the piston design to much feel free to cut it and we will consider it as a possible refinement of one of the systems and include it in later reports.



By the way, so far logo #2 is winning with 2 votes (Mine and Mike's). Please send your bios to me so I can include them on the website http://people.ucalgary.ca/~acmattso

The website is not uploaded yet but should be sometime tonight.

Andrew

Here is my explanation of the inverse speaker system and my quick bio for the website.

I also have my portion of the cdd written up. I was unsure of what to put for the feasibly section. It asked for "back of the envelope" calculations... This is what I have thus far, I'll think about more about feasibility!



Cheers, Ashton

I vote #1, then #2, then #3. So #1 is my favorite. Also, I emailed William this on Friday but I'll upload it as well. -Nicole
