DESIGN/RESEARCH PHASE

Pneumatic Transport System

Sample Carousel:

Initial CAD
Improve CAD
Replace metal sheets with something more structurally sound
Weight optimization of the carousel
Better turntable bearings?
Better interface with the general frame
Motor Finalization
Test tube attachments
3D printed deflector
Copper Gasket + Bellow for airtight seal

Centrifugal Fan/Blower

Fan Selection

Interface with the frame
Filter selection to prevent blade degradation

Plumbing:

Pipe selection (PEX A vs PEX B vs PVC)
Pipe Fittings (SharkBite, cement, clamp)
Fittings to connect between different types of pipe
Fittings for connecting one pipe to three separate ones
Fittings for pipe-test tube interface (prob. have to be a custom one)
Flange fitting to connect to the sample head
Nozzle selection to increase sand speed
Gantry design

Sample Head:
