Oct 24th- 201/301 - Aquaponics ReDesign, Prototype Bicycle Clamp


Plants beginning to sprout in hydroton pellets.  

pH improved( lower). The higher the pH, the higher the ammonia levels.





 Mr. Peloquin urged students to work on re-design of the system to make it both attractive and modular- it should like like something people would buy. Students need to work through the design process- what are the issues? Precedents? Possible designs, etc.  Interest in making a transparent system using plexiglas acrylic.  Suggested face frame design with decorative electronic displays.


Bicycle repair stand team made progress, building PVC clamp.






Heat gun used to shape PVC- becomes plastic with heat.




Maple block cut with handsaw--quite difficult.
