Location: Logan HS
Time: 3 hours
Goal: Design and fabricate a base to support the Desalination Machine (DM) in its position of function.
We had the DM stored in our upper storage area of the shop and it was very cumbersome to move back and forth when we wanted to work on it. We needed to build a base to make it more easy to transport and get an idea of what the final "cart base" could look like. This is a temporary base as we will eventually make a new one out of aluminum.
Some design considerations we had was to make sure the DM was supported in the position of function, put it on wheels for mobility and leave room at the bottom for hoses and valves to hook up.
