Engineering Specifications
Justification
10
A 12-volt, deep-cycle marine battery will be used for power
A 12-volt marine battery is currently being used in the airboat
4
Retractable hose is accessible in the down position
The hose that draws water from the lake can also draw in a sanitizing solution at the truck
6
Temperatures between 45- and 95-degrees Fahrenheit are recorded
Full range temperature detection for Central Florida lakes and ponds
3
5 liters will be collected
Accounting for spillage when drawing sample water from the device
7
Travels approx. 1600 feet round-trip
The device must be able to sample and return to the shoreline
9
The Ardupilot autopilot control module will steer the boat
A dedicated autopilot system will be less strain on the sampling equipment
8
GPS coordinates are used to be within 10 feet of the established center of the lake
+/- 10 feet is more than acceptable for finding the sampling location
2
Final dimensions should fit within a 5 ft x 4 ft space
Cargo space is determined by subtracting the two coolers from the 6-foot truck bed. The device will be stored in the remaining space.
1
The device fits on a hand cart or has wheels and a handle
The operator will be able to remove the device from a truck bed and wheel it to the shoreline rather than carry it
5
The 3 gallons/minute pump will fill and flush the tank
Filling the tank completely will rinse all surfaces inside the plumbing and tank
