1. The
Build
of
the
Dam
Door
System
!
!
First
hand
calcula7ons
were
created.
My
role
in
the
calcula7ons
was
to
find
available
gears
to
turn
at
the
desired
speed.
Using
solid
Works,
a
1:10
scaled
model
of
the
dam
was
created
to
be
built
with
Steel.
A
true
challenge
for
an
ME,
electrical!
We
used
a
DC
motor
with
variable
speeds,
so
a
controller
from
Dart
and
a
4
DTP
switch
was
used.
All
wiring
was
done
in
team
with
the
help
of
other
students
in
electrical
engineering.
The
dam
was
built
with
steel
components,
Using
such
skills
as
milling,
welding,
drilling,
and
Team
work.
The
project
was
an
success
and
is
being
Further
used
at
CSUS
for
hydraulic
studies,
