Entry no.16Got to wake up late because I had a Doctors appointment
I had a blood test because I am about to go on this new acne medication
Then they prescribed me some medication that I have to take 4 weeks before I can start the actual drug
I hate blood so that wasn't nice but the actual procedure didn't hurt that much, just feels so unconformable and achey rn
Then afterwards my Mum drove me to Brighton which took about 45 minutes
I felt really car sick though because I was giving my Mum directions which involved reading, reading makes me feel
When I got there, I finished yesterday's research and inserted in the pictures I took of my drawings and our experimental set-up so far
After I'd done that, I had a brief talk with one of my supervisors, he gave me some more work to do because I have pretty much finished their stuff so far. So that was appreciated
Then we went for lunch, this time we got sandwhiches: mine was egg mayo and I went for some cheeky McCoys Salt and vinegar because
Then we played chess, 3 vs 2 (I was on the 2 side), we won
which was cool!
@XOR_ fancy a game now? (i am in the mood
)
Back to work afterwards, but it was not long after I had started to finish my work when my other supervisor said there was some more lab work to do
Went to the lab and we set up the PC-High Speed Camera link. Maybe some explaining is in order?
So I've got this injector. Looks like this:
I designed a component that will support it in our experimental set-up.
U with me?
So then we will put liquid nitrogen through the injector and get it to spray. That way we can use the camera, along with an LED screen to take loads of really fast images of the spray coming out of the injector.
FYI the camera takes up to 10,000 images per second, so yeah, we get a video effect and using it we can do calculations and stuff to see if it works well enough to use in a real engine
Pretty cool!
So today we were just establishing the PC-camera connection, was quite dull, we couldn't figure out the IP address it was set to and eventually, after some trial-and-error, we found it and got it to work
My supervisor took me thought the program they use to work the camera. Its cool, not too complicated and I have now been given the right to "play with it"
Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow
:
Yh, train home was ok, my pal was a tad late but he still managed to catch the train
hes fitter than me so can run I guess
Din dins was pasta and doughballs = lush

Quote of the day: Supervisor to Cheese: "its 16:00, you better go catch your train"
Cheese: "If it turns up, that is"
