Modular Water Collection System

Timeline: February-May 2023

Objective

Proof of concept part of the class 2.00A (Designing for the Future: Earth, Sea, and Space). Aim of design was to increase water sampling rate to assist marine research. Worked with other students to design a modular system with detachable test tubes and a peristaltic pump that turns and dispenses water from a flexible tube.

Outcomes & Contributions

Largely was in charge of CAD for acrylic base and gear bearing system

Design was able to pump water into 8 test tubes on revolving base, which would improve on the current sampling efficiency of most commercial water samplers, which have 4 samples for each drone deployment

Technical Details & Skills

CAD: Autodesk Fusion 360, OnShape
