Wednesday May 18th, 2011

During this time we went over our additional comments.
We decided to definitely have a reservoir tank that would refill the system when the surface tension was broken by falling below a certain line. This still would need to be services every couple weeks
It was addressed  that our exhibit could get confusing with so many moving parts and different activities. This was addressed by considering ways to tie each exhibit together more, possibly through signage being a long roll through all exhibits instead of a separate sign for each exhibit.  We also considered decreasing the number of modules and increasing the size of each.
A power source was also a concern. We considered many options including, a power cord, a car battery, and solar film. We decided that the solar film would be optimal to go along with the theme of renewable energy and it would store energy then use that stored energy to work after the sun goes down for a few hours then shut off automatically. If this was placed indoors it would rely on an outside power source through a cord.

We decided on a general idea of what we would like to have on out posters for the presentation and started working on a layout.
