Week 4

Filter Prototype I

The first filtering system was assembled during this weeks lab. The group has decided to heat the grease prior to adding it to the filter to make sure the grease is less viscous and flows more easily. An apparatus will also be designed to hold the filter and so that the paint filter can be changed after several uses of the filter. A funnel will be attached at the end of the bottle allowing the grease to flow through the paint filter. The bottle contains crystal marbles and rocks as the bulk of the filtering process.
