Blog #2

The secound draft of my research paper is done and I still a lot of work to do on it but its good to have feedback from other people and it was good to see examples. So aside from that I'll focus most of my attation on the distiller part of the project. Our group has a prototype that we already know works (weve tested it) but it could defently be better all the condenstion gathers on the wall of the tank and none of it goes to the top. So we are going to fix that by adding ledges that with act as gutters which will go down into cups. We have all the matrials for the upgrade execpt the ducktape.

The Interveiw

The person we interviewed was an immigration lawyer. The interview ended up taking longer then we expected ( a total of around 45 minutes) but we got a lot of information. We asked him questions like what country in your experience is the hardest to immigrate to. Which one is the easiest, and we asked him about some of the cases he takes. We found out that he himself immigrated from Iran. So we asked him how he immigrated here. His secretary also immigrated from Nigeria so we asked her a few questions but she declined to be recored.
