Basic concept for hand powered centrifuge #1
Description
This test card is used to validate ideas and working hypotheses consistently in 4 steps: 1) Hypothesis 2) Experiment 3) Metric 4) Criterion
1. Hypothesis: We believe what
A hand powered centrifuge can deliver enough relative centrifugal force to separate samples of fluids in the context of AIDS, meningitis or other disease diagnosis.
2. Experiment: To verify it we will do
Use existing mechanisms for to create rotational force, power it with the and and mount samples on this rotational mecahnism.
You can even provide drawings concepts, and more specific details of the experiment etc
Materials needed:
- Tacometer to measure speed
Tasks
- Find similar solutions
- Explore different rotational mechanisms
3. Metric: and we will measure the following indicators
Time, RPM, target RCF 2000g,
4. Criteria: We have partially validated the idea if
The standard RCF used in the context of analysis for specific types of diseases is met.
