-Created a detailed blueprint of the collector, and purchased some of the materials for piping. Materials included:
- Fittings (PVC-necessary to assemble the section that will hold the heating element)
- PVC pipe
- Heating element (120V/2000W)
- Wood 2X4X8 for collector framing
- Plywood for backing
-Arduino code was also worked on during this week.
Note: The collector's wood frame and heating element are being used solely for presentation purposes. It would be difficult to capture enough of the sun's radiation to use for demonstration.
The following image shows the blue print of the collector design. This is a rough draft copy however, as dimensions may change in the following week.
