Final WEEK - Exciting findings

The most exciting finding of the entire project was that it worked!!! During the design expo we were able to proudly display our working prototype. In addition it actually worked at one point much better than we had anticipated. We got the motor to displace a charge onto the capacitors and then on to the phone's battery for 20 seconds without adding another pull! This was a huge surprise. Previous testing had shown that the displaced charge only would last a second or two after pulling.

Another great finding was that people were extremely satisfied with the weight of the case. While they did mention they didn't really like the bulkiness, they still loved the fact that it was about the same weight as current battery cases on the market, and that the projected cost was about a quarter of the cost of the battery cases.
