Final publication and Closing notes.

Finished project

First off, as you can see, we went with a pinwheel design instead of a classical design due to time constraints and construction stability.  (not to mention the lies of Amazon's 2 day delivery).

These two images show the gear train and pulley system. Half way through, we discpvered that 2 gear reductuons and a movqble pulley would cause the plow to move painfully slow. Therefore we resorted to a lesser gear reduction and no movable pulley.

Overall, she might not be very beautiful, or practical... But this project definitely helped us apply simple machines in a meaningful way.
