MECHANICAL MOVEMENT 138

ENGI 210 F2024 Midterm Project: Ellena Jeon (ej18) and Kathy Xu (kx16)

LOW FIDELITY PROTOTYPE

Our first attempt at the low-fidelity prototype with cardboard ended up setting on fire.

MEDIUM FIDELITY PROTOTYPE

This is the moving parts that will vary the level of water as we rotate the handle. We were able to achieve the basic mechanics of this movement with the dowl with off-centered circles.
