Model

Elliott was able to build a miniature model of our design. He welded wire between two washers making the cylinder body. For our actual we plan on using miniature bicycle wheels and rebar. We originally planned to just have the rebar welded to the wheels but after meeting with Evan he suggested using a wire mesh to cover the rebar, so that more of a pattern would be packed into the soil, that rebar alone wouldn't work. So for our model we wrapped wire mesh around the length of the cylinder. And plan to weld diamond shaped mesh around the cylinder or our soil tamper.
