George Gavel Marc Greencorn Alex Herbin Allan Notman PROGRESS Team: Bird Strike

SINCE LAST REPORT  We have refined our idea  We have met with several experts for ideas  We have acquired most of the equipment needed for a prototype  We have made some computer drawings and models  Website has been updated several times

RECAP: OUR IDEA  A combination of physical, optical and audible tactics will keep birds away  Our solution will rotate and use power from the runway lights  More economical to use several stationary units spaced apart  Each unit will be screwed deep into the ground

RECAP: OUR IDEA

3D MODEL

SOURCES CONSULTED  Michael Steinitz  Mitch Gallant  Randy Lauff  Matt Cameron  Machine Shop, design services

OUR OPTICAL REPELLER  We will be ordering parts for our mirror assembly with these dimensions: INCHES

OUR ULTRASONIC EMITTER  The circuit needed has been developed

OUR ULTRASONIC EMITTER  All the equipment needed for a powerful prototype ultrasonic emitter has been obtained

GOALS BEFORE FINAL REPORT:  Determine dimensions of ultrasonic emitter if it were mass produced and optimal dimensions of base screw to withstand force of wind and elements  Test our ultrasonic emitter model on a flock of birds  Assemble the mirrors and attach them to a support device  Determine final cost for mass production
