Purpose

• Have a robust way of testing our batteries in real life to get useful data that we can use to inform design and implement a working cooling method

Process

• Make a wind-tunnel

• Figure out IR of module & pack (blocked rn)

• Make prototype module with thermistors on each cell

• Determine estimated average heat capacity of module & pack

• Data acquisition & visualization tool

Wind-Tunnel

Design Requirements:

• Works with various different fans

• Leak free

• Works with various different pack sizes

• Easy to make

Design Review (latest next Tuesday, ideally this weekend)

Begin ordering materials and making tunnel (next wednesday)

Finish making tunnel (Dec 4)
