Week 8: Clean Up & Draft

-
Today, we organized everything that we are using for our project. We examined the treadmill and brought anything that we did not need to the dumpster in the back of the school. Everything is now neatly organized in a bin under the table.

We also made the motor on SolidWorks and included the aluminum base that we need. We made very specific dimensions. Keep up the awesome work team!

Great news... we put some feelers out about possibly getting an exercise bicycle as a donation and we have found one! We are now coordinating on how to get the bicycle. Most likely we will pick up the bicycle and drive it back to school. We also are going to use some motors that we have in the back of the classroom as well as a basket that will hold everything and make it look nicer.

Week 12: Official Final Plan

We have the 24 volt motor. This will simply be placed in front of the big wheel. The big wheel will spin thus spinning the small part on the motor, generating the power. We will get this done in the three engineering classes we have this week. We are very behind but would like to complete this project perfectly. This will be successful for future classes to use and learn from.

Week 6: Treadmill

It was extremely nice of Ms. Baker to donate a treadmill to our project. We are so thankful for that because now we do not have to purchase a treadmill or a motor. We are going to use the motor from the treadmill and attach it to our bicycle. Also, we cleaned the exercise bicycle and made it look brand new, well mostly. We also took apart the exercise bicycle to see how it works and how we will attach the motor.
