Today we worked on finishing the "movies" page and created both of the flash videos. We have completed nearly all of the links in our website, and made sure all the links went where they were supposed to.

We wrote the analytic essay, and worked on the website. Basically, we did most of the busy work. All we have left is to smooth our our website and finish the the flash videos of our sub.

Today we finished the testing of the H.M.S. Poseidon. We also worked on the analytic essay, put more photos on our website and were frustrated about how to put videos from my camera onto the computer.

Today we went to Long Beach. Once we got there we discovered that one of the engines on the sub was not working and we had no idea why. The propellor was spinning but it was not producing any thrust. We finally discovered that the engine was cavitating ( just churning the water, like a blender) but we faced another dilemna, how would we stop this. We discovered that it was cavitating because the propeller's plane was located at the end of the engine tube close to the plane of the tube. There must have been some evil power working against us because we did not bring any sandpaper to shoten the tube. First we asked everyone else if the had sandpaper, they didn't then we asked the lifeguards if they had any, they didn't. We tried sanding it on the rough surface of a diving board but ended up sanding the board and earning a disapproving glare from the lifegaurd. We were considering taking a piece of paper and hot gluing sand from the beach onto it or selling our souls to the evil spirit haunting our project when we found a wire cutter. Through all of our hardships good prevailed, and although it was rather difficult to chip off pieces of a plastic tube without flicking the pieces into our eyes we prevailed and in doing so decided to name our sub the H.M.S. Posieden after the ancient Greek god of the sea. We proceeded to begin testing our sub and astounded everyone with our awefullness( full of aweness).

Today we completed the sub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We attached the surgical tubing to the ballast system, attached the both the ballast and engine tubes to the the frame with black nylon wraps and completed the wiring from the engines to the battery. The battery compartment was comprised of one 2 inch diameter, 11 inch tube.
