June Monthly Report

Starting from the month of June we decided to design a turbine so that the fabrication
will start. We came up to an idea with the help of the machinist whom we seek for help. Our
team then compute the ideas that is united as one. First, we compute the buoyancy of the
turbine and set the weight capacity of it. Also search for the blades of the turbine and the
pitch angle of it so that it will be efficient when drives by the water.

All papers needed should be submitted this month, so we worked on it for the
remaining days of the month of June. When we finished the papers, we continued our work
which is in progress.
