Week #8-9: Experiment

The group conducted the experiment this week on the various types of penetrating oil.  They produced the oils using different percentage mixtures of vegetable oil, acetone ATF, and compared them to WD-40.  The experiment was performed successfully and the results were within the expected parameters with acetone demonstrating its superiority.  The link below is the document that contains our results in a detailed experimental report and the image below is of the rusted bolts after they have been allowed to soak in the penetrating oil mixtures for twelve hours to show their rust repelant abilities.
