Capstone Update #2

In my last update, we were facing several struggles adding weight to the hover craft. We then realized that the size of the holes we punctured underneath the craft may have been to large. We punched around dime sized holes in the shower curtain to allow the craft to actually hover. The holes we previous had were about the size of a pencil and it just wasn’t enough to get off the ground. By creating larger holes we were able to not only inflate, but also lift the wooden sheet wood off the ground. When we began to add weight, the air that was being propelled from the blower into the air-chamber began to release out through the holes and the wood would slowly go to the ground. We decided if we had more smaller holes the craft may be able to absorb more weight. we approximated it as is to be able to hold around 100 lbs. currently. We will need to buy a new shower curtain if we want to fix the holes or tape over them. This final change will be discussed in the conclusion.
