11/20
I have compiled the list of materials necessary for the assembly of my completed product. Now I must prepare my bid sheet to be sent out to the board for consideration.
11/24
Fortunately, I do not need much funding for my project, as it is relatively low budget. Therefore, my bid sheet will only contain a hose to attach my nozzle and my partner’s pump to.

Weekly Update 11/13-11/17
11/13
I have been periodically updating my blog, hoping to make it as presentable as possible to be considered at a later date. I have relabeled several different posts to hopefully make it more organized.
11/17
The bid process for these supplies is due on December 4th, as it must be presented to the board shortly thereafter. My priority right now is to make my supply and parts list of the items that I need to build my finished product.

Mentor Contact 6
Student: Anthony Fischer
Date: 11/9/09
Contact: Paul Fischer (Father), Personal Visit
Reference: Nozzle Design
Questions: How do pressure washers work?
Discussion:
Today, my father and I ventured out of the safety of our home to excavate nozzles from several different locations that bore less than favorable conditions. We picked up three new nozzles, one of them from a pressure washer (unfortunately, it is still attached to the handle and is quite cumbersome). These are now in my car and I am driving to school tomorrow. I hope to play around with them with Sam and figure out how exactly some of these work, so perhaps we can find something we can change or add on to our own design.

Weekly Update 11/2 and 11/6
11/2
Mentor contacts are due soon, and I must update my blog to include them. I have eleven points worth of contacts, but I have not put them up on my blog just yet.
11/6
My mentor contacts were not in the proper format, and now I must go back and correctly log them into my blog. Eleven points will allow me to recieve the full one hundred percent of the points for mentor contacts, ten points.

Weekly Update 10/27 and 10/30
10/27
This week I have to update my blog for presentations to make sure all of my logs are up to date and that everything else is in order so I appear prepared for my presentation. I also have to make some additions to my script for presentations to improve upon what I presented informally.
10/30
I presented recently and did fairly well. I recieved a 93 for my presentation, which is a large portion of my grade. Now I must get ready for the requirements of the second marking period.

Mentor Contact 4 and 5
Student: Anthony Fischer
Date: 10/28/09
Contact: Paul Fischer (Father), Personal Visit
Reference: Nozzle Design
Questions: How do grooves and bumps affect nozzles?
Discussion:
Today, my father and I dissected more nozzles. We discovered that some of the nozzles have different grooves and bumps within the design that change the output of the fluid flowing through them. However, these outcomes are all ones that are unnecessary for my design. These outputs resulted in wider spraying of the fluid or even a mist.
Student: Anthony Fischer
Date: 11/28/09
Contact: Glen O'Heir (Uncle)
Reference: Circuitry
Questions: What do I need to make a circuit?
Discussion:
My uncle Glen also visited today as well, all the way from Flushing, Queens. He assisted me in comprising a list of all the supplies I needed to construct the circuit and the control panel. He taught me some more hands on basics to circuitry and even helped me create my very first simple circuit. My uncle will come back at a later date to help me build the real thing, once I get all of my supplies.

Questions: How does a nozzle function?
Discussion:
Today, I worked with my father (my nozzle mentor) on more dissections of nozzles. We hoped to further understand the inner workings of the design. The nozzles we opened up appeared the same inside as it did on the outside. We are going to open up more nozzles to see if perhaps the inside could have some sort of grooves or something of the like that would improve the air flow.
