Continue testing the pulley system using water in the bottle (F=mg)
Solve for the force found to calculate k and x (F=kx) where x is the length of compression
Measure head loss out of effluent using pressure sensor to see the efficiency (we want head loss to be large)

[ ] Fabrication of another Ram Pump (Ching)
[ ] Figure out theoretical values and equations (Alyssa)
[ ] Calculate efficiency using the pressure cycles (Alyssa and Ching)
[ ] Using efficiency and then see if the effluent diameter might be too small (too much head loss) (Alyssa and Ching)
[ ] Running the system with the spring and measure cycle & Pulley system to get a rough value for the internal force (Cheer & Inigo)
[ ] Work on research proposal (Ching & Alyssa)
