update from Jeff

So, we took the device back into the pool. I increased the compartment size from 1 1/4 in. to 2 in. We were having buoyancy issues. Looks like it might work; also tested the wet-suit.

Well, I would like to tell you that we have clearance to the lazy river at Oceanwalk to test our device..... Sadly I can not; however, Dr Woodall went down today and played the Doctor card. We should know by Friday... and hopefully we will be calibrating the beast under a controlled environment.

Til then, we are going out on the boat Friday to take some readings with the Hack 950 Flowmeter and collect some data with the HOBO. The HOBO is the instrument we will be using to measure angular displacement or tilt. We will have to convert the data into current speed.
Note: finally, all that Math and Physics will pay off.

We will be testing data collecting tomorrow and playing with the program. We will also be modifying the apparatus to accommodate the river.
