March 12th - March 19th blog
This past week, we continued our testing. We tested collection and re-circulation separately.
the video of re-circulation can be seen on the following link: recirculation, the video is called recirculation 2. With the recirculation, we realized that for the particles to not stick on the surface of the bag, the motors have to move faster than they are moving in this video. We are waiting for the system that supports the motors better to be able to move them faster.
For the collection, We collected 3 different samples of nanoparticles using magnets, and one control without the magnet.
both 4 samples were evaporated to remove all the water out. One of the three was measured to have collected 69.13%, we are yet to measure the yield of the rest.
Figure 1: The collection process.
Figure 2: Nanoparticles after evaporating water.
In the spring break, we want to use the whole system together to measure how much we can collect
