Design Features
Cost




Currently our team has spent ~$150
This does not include a sufficient
reservoir or heat bath which is
estimated ~$175
Currently our team also needs to
purchase a better pump which will be
estimated ~$200
Total cost of approximately $525
Test of Design



Cloud Chamber Workshops went very
well
Allowed for the design to be perfected
3 times
Ideas: no heat bath, positive
displacement pump, danger of timed
circulation
Conclusion


The overall design of the liquid
circulation system seems to be very
prominent and well thought out
The construction of the design is
definitely on the right track
