Team Mercury Meeting

We have made a lot of progress for our machine. Everyone is coming up with great ideas for there part of the project. To describe our basic idea, our machine will sit in the membrane and consist of two main parts; a channel and a voltmeter. Whenever the voltmeter reading moves out of a certain range, the channel will open allowing potassium ions to diffuse out. When the voltmeter reading returns to the proper range, the channel will close. We are still coming up with ideas to determine how our machine will; travel to the cell, stop in the membrane, and differentiate between different types of ions. We are also considering what type of material to use. We will meet today to discuss our recent findings.
