Today we started working on our actual projects. With a spectacular device in mind, Jess, Kate, Max and I sketched, and started prototyping our ocean surface pump. Jess and I found a plastic pipe about one inch thick and used the wire cutter to cut a circular foam float fitting around the pipe at the top and potentially keeping it afloat. We did not push the pipe all the way up to the top of the hole and additionally carved out some space in the top of the foam to have room for water to be pumped. Tomorrow we will think about the flaps or doors that allow the cold water to come up through the bottom and not down through the top, cut down the pipe to an apropriate length, and cut down the foam enough to keep the pipe afloat.
