F3Dew

During this week we made the prototype with the cones. After boring holes in the cones and cutting like piece of wood, we attached them together to make a strong structure.

We finished the hackaday and the twitter, we are now ready for the oral. We just need to run tests and we can face a jury

During this week, we glue some pieces of wood between the pillars, all around the main structure and graph plastic bags in it, to make the water fall. It was long because the glue toke 10min making effect, and we made 6 levels of bags and strengthening.

We didn't receive the cones, so we couldn't prepare the clean prototype. The prototype in recyclable materials is now ready, so everyone who is poor can build one.

We begin the creation of the dew condenser in plastic and wood. We are laser cutting pieces of wood to make 4 pillars. We encountered some problems during the cutting :

The first piece of wood was to large (6mm) to be cut, so we toke two pieces of 3mm each and glue them together to make the structure enough strong to resist the severe weather. We made straight shank assemblies to maintain the structure together (see pictures).

We are making progress on the Hackaday page and we are thinking about a second thought : make a dew condenser with only pieces of plastic. The research begin

We bought cones to make the dew condenser, the main object is on his way. Hackaday page has been rebuild

Birth of the design and the main idea: a 3D hydrophobic dew condenser. Discussion with a hackaday user.

Beginning of the researches and fulfil the hackaday and twitter page with information

We choose the project and form the groups: F3Dew was born. Creation of the twitter and the hackaday pages

• Week 1:
  • Brainstorming
• Week 2:
  • We choose the project and form the groups: F3Dew was born. Creation of the twitter and the hackaday pages
• Week 3:

  • Birth of the design and the main idea: a 3D hydrophobic dew condenser. Discussion with a hackaday user.
• Week 5:
  • The design of the dew condenser is finished!!! We think about the material that we’ll use. We order a hydrophobic spray to transform our surface.
