Testing and Data Collection:
Test Data #1
For our first test, we decided to test out two different circuits to see which one would be best for our project. We did a series circuit and let it it run and afterwards did a parallel circuit and we left it to run. The results are as follows: Series Circuit The series circuit only lasted 1 minute before burning all of our milk frothers. This circuit failed miserably to say the least, but it at least showed what NOT to do. Parallel Circuit The parallel circuit was able to run for about 10 minutes before we decided to turn it off. The circuit did not get hot at all and worked perfectly. This is the circuit we are going to use for our prototype. |
Test Data #2
For our second test, we tested how long the polisher took to polish a glass. The results are as follows: Glass 1 - 15 seconds Glass 2 - 24 seconds Glass 3 - 13 seconds Glass 4 - 11 seconds Glass 5 - 20 seconds Glass 6 - 18 seconds Glass 7 - 16 seconds Glass 8 - 14 seconds Glass 9 - 15 seconds Glass 10 - 22 seconds |
Summary
I am very happy with how the testing went. The testing shows that our polisher is able to handle unpolished glasses and polish them quite faster than by hand, which is usually around 30 seconds to a minute. The circuit test was really able to help us decide how we are going to wire our prototype. All the testing is going to pay off in the end.
