I would like to take this opportunity to clear up any confusion that a blog reader might be having at this point and time. We have made a switch of projects. We were originally part of the oil spill capping project, but it was clear that we were dissatisfied with that project, so my partner and I began looking for a replacement. We landed on the lubrication of a two part piston motor for a marine vessel. Our idea would be to introduce a fluid (the lubrication) into a pre-existing system (the motor). However, we do not have the resources to do this exact project with these exact parts. The chemical is not safe for two students to be using and that makes this project unviable.
However, we have created a proxy to this problem, so we can continue on with our project. We will be using sprinkles as the fluid and ice cream as the pre-existing system. We will be adding the sprinkles to the ice cream in hopes of getting the sprinkles in the ice cream without using actual human labor. This would provide for more efficient lubrication of the motor as well as a safer way to coat the engine. I apologize for any confusion surrounding this project, and will now be referring to the project as the Ice Cream Project. Please note that I am referring to the Ice Cream simply as a proxy and that the actual project is dealing with lubrication and piston motors.
