One of the failings of this blog is that it is hard for me to describe in words how the olfactometer is going to look, and the principles behind its design. Frustratingly, one of my personal weaknesses is that I am not great at drawing things on a computer!

Fortunately this is where the outreach is paying back! Dave, the aforementioned oil and gas engineer, has offered to work through the design with me in Auto CAD Inventor. Depending upon his availability, and the time that he can afford to donate to the project, I will be able to convey the design far more satisfactorily. We will start with 2 dimensional outlines but potentially can go through to 3d animations even showing the airflow details!

We are going to meet up for the first session this weekend, so I hope to have something to share early next week.
