Yesterday, I set up the aluminum pipe again since the last experiment was not accurate in the sense that we had an air gap in the pipe due to the fact the wax was filed with bubbles in there. We should avoid the air gap while filing up the pipe because this case slows the temperature change process. Today I will try the experiment one more time and see.

yesterday, I did the experiment using the aluminum pipe filled up with wax and the result is shown on an excel graph. The first solar intensity measured was found to be w/m^2 at 11:28 am. Then at 11:45, it went up to 1302 w/m^2. The support structure was adjusted at 11:32 am. The intensity went down to 590 w/m^2 at 11:45 am, and again the support structure was adjusted at 11:58m.The intensity was measured again at 12:00 pm 1410 w/m^2 and 1210 w/m^2 at 12:06 pm.The support structure was adjusted at 12:24 pm. I just want to let you guys know must you can find graph on goggle drive as well. Thank you.

Yesterday,I set up the aluminum pipe by filling it up with wax and I sealed it. Now I just have to wait for a nicer day to perform the next experiment.

Yesterday, I had to seal the aluminum pipe with red silicon and today I will fill it up with wax for our next experience.

Last Thursday, we did our third experiment and the graphs of the last three experiments are available on google drive

Today, we will repeat the experiment without wax since the weather is nicer.

Today the weather isn't with us, so instead we are helping are classmates in the block house project.

However, here are some pictures from last week's experiment
