This archive draws from two supplied project collections, SD1 and SD2. Reports, check-ins, calculation sheets, figures and observations retain their version and evidence type. The report’s PDF and Word version are one source document, rather than independent confirmation. Source records do not certify native CAD, circuit, solver or firmware behavior.
Project bibliography
| Reference | Team-authored source and use |
|---|---|
| S01 | Sea Gliders. Hands Free Scuba Propulsion System — End of Semester Report, April 19, 2026. Preferred PDF; DOCX provides paragraph-level evidence. Research, roles, historical targets, decisions, analyses and proposed validation. |
| S02 | SD2 meeting notes: August 26, September 7 and September 9, 2026. Scope/budget and validation discussions. Later meeting filename/internal date conflict is retained where relevant. |
| S03 | SD2 GA1/GA2/GA3 group check-ins and presentations. Evolving scope, matrices, enclosure/mount/control/PCB figures and preliminary observations. Copied notes and final-sounding filenames are not completion evidence. |
| S04 | Decision Matrix.docx and associated early SD1 concept presentation. Opinion-based alternatives preceding the revised report baseline. |
| S05 | Historical BOM/electrical schematic and SD2 parts-order/electrical lists. Component selection/order intent and architecture; not an as-built BOM. |
| S06 | Steven’s individual check-in 3 and Camila’s enclosure check-in with September 29 filename. Printed fit, preliminary powering and planned sensor/enclosure work. |
| S07 | Thrust Calculation.xlsx, No Thruster Drag Force.xlsx and Book.xlsx. Historical analytical models, formulas and stored results, with source inconsistencies preserved. |
| S08 | Ansys Thruster Calc.pdf, four pages. Analytical history and source-reported diver CFD. Native cases were not independently verified. |
| S09 | Thrust Verification.docx. Preliminary comparison and proposed stand; ambiguous sensor note supplies no quantitative test record. |
| S10 | Water Proof Calc PETG.pdf, three handwritten pages, undated. Reviewed dimensional transcription and arithmetic correction. |
| S11 | Battery Decision Entanglement.xlsx. Route estimates and normalization used in placement decisions. |
| S12 | Decision Table Calculations/Book1.xlsx. Three timing inputs per option and stored scores; protocol and option correspondence not fully reconciled. |
| S13 | Wind Tunnel.xlsx. Reported velocity/force series and worksheet extrapolation. |
| S14 | Muted bench-thruster clip supplied under Steven’s SD2 folder, filename September 23, 2026. Preliminary dry-bench startup context; filename is not independent event-date confirmation. |
| S15 | DFMEA.xlsx, Sheet1 original date September 13, 2026, plus Sheet2 component risks. Design priorities and proposed actions. |
| S16 | Project Gantt workbook. Historical plan/schedule only. |
