my bottom plate for my light

this is the bottom plate that i am going to use for the light that i am going to make. it will soon be cut out on the cam machine.

materials justification

i have chosen to make my light out of aluminum and acrylic plastic. aluminium is a cheap non-corrosive metal which is malleuable and can be easily cut. it is good because its not corrosive so it cannot rust or corrode. the aluminium is going to be used for the body of the light. i am using transperant clear acrylic plastic for the light output. i am using this because it is very easy to work with and it can be very easily cut in the cam machine. this plastic has a high level of transperancy and can come in a range of different colours. it is also cheap

week 3 term 3

this week, i have started my cardboard mock-up of my solar light. this is going to be a 1:1 scale mock-up of my solar garden light. i also have the problem still yet to resolve with my transistor circuit. i will continue doing my mock-up first though to get that out of the way. my goal is to get my mock-up finished at the end of my double practical on this Friday.
