Moving Forward in February...

A lot has happened since the last update... The team has been working out many problems in the system and we feel confident in out final prototype design.

Things we have discovered:

- We have run tests on the effect of the Oxygen Concentrator on the output of the ozone generator and have determined that it is most cost effective and efficient if we remove the Oxygen Concentrator from the system and instead increase the ozone generators.
- Through preliminary testing of our filters we have found that a (charcoal-->coarse filter cloth---> .1 micron ceramic filter material) setup would be best for our design.

This month we will complete the final prototype chassis in aluminum and finish building out filtration system.

Components to the Ozone Generation Unit. 
Next month we will add a solar panel system and start testing and making adjustments in order to finalize the prototype and achieve our efficiency goals.
