Week 8

In week 8, the group began putting the pieces of the presentation and the final draft together. The group also continued brainstorming ideas to heat the heat pipe up from electricity. The one idea that will be tested is the idea of heat tape. This tape is electrically charged and creates heat. This tape we will wrap around the bottom of our heat pipe and that will generate the heat. For a heat tape with a voltage of 120 amps. This heat tape can generate heat of up to 900 F. This temperature will be able to achieve the heat we need for the top of the pipe. Once this idea is decided, the pot and heat pipe can be put together.
