TEST OUT THE MOTORS!
We tested the three motors after pouring the wax into the film canister, and letting it cool in the freezer. As we tested the first wire which was the orange and white. It didnt work. So we thought there might be a connection probalem or a malfunction. So we moved onto the next wires and tried those out. And SUCCESS! They worked! So we tried the orange and white wires, but still no progress. It didnt work. It could be a ton of reasons, it could be that wax was exposed to the wiring of some sort, or maybe it could be something else.
So now, next week on Monday April 12, 2010 Janell and Mickey are going to disect and troubleshoot the third motor and figure out why it didn't work or what went wrong. Sara and Alesha will work on building a new motor in place of the one that malfunctioned. While Caitlyn and Coleson show Alesha and Sara how to build a motor (Because Alesha and Sara don't know how to) they will also be working on the next steps of seaperch.
So as you can see there were problems which will occur during expieraments, but we shall learn from them and better our next seaperch. =)
