Abstract
The Fabrication team focused on three main goals for the Summer 2011 semester. Firstly, we worked on developing a system to recharge a cordless power drill without using an electrical wall socket. Our solution was to connect the battery charger directly to a car battery, which may be easily brought to the site. Secondly, we researched more effective ways to remove plugs from hole saws. We determined that the commercially available Lenox speed-slot hole saws would best resolve this problem. Thirdly, we developed, tested, and improved a jig to help facilitate the assembly of plate settler modules.
