3 days into the semester, and I'm glad to be back! We started off the semester with our project groups for this semester. I'm in the Hibbing Taconite group. We are to create a system that raises a 40,000 lb counterweight 4 feet to release tension on a 1,300 ft conveyor belt. After the tension is released, the conveyor belt can be moved or replaced. The 40,000 lb counterweight is a mixture of steel plates and concrete, constructed in a rectangular shape, suspended with a cable and rollers. Our group has some initial ideas, but we are still brainstorming. I'll post later with our decision and project progress.
