Website construction

Until last week, I was only able to make changes in the css. I had never considered the idea of writing from scratch a site. I must admit that coding it's exciting, but my inexperience I is slowing down me a lot.
Anyway I'm sure in the next few months I'll be able to fix the web site. For now, the essential structure is made!

I started doing a sketch on a sheet to try to sort the ideas and familiarize with the div topic.

I followed some tutorials on codecademy.com and I started to write my website using Atom (complete words while you're typing: great for a beginner!).
By using the keyboard command "ctrl + alt + i" I managed to see a few lines of code from some websites and I learn some interesting tip.

Reading what I had done, I notice a mental disorder dictated by haste. I hope to be able to index and organize better the html and especially the css in the future.

GIT

I never heard before about GIT. It is as intelligent as a complex solution. I learned to do many things through the terminal and I discover slowly the great potential of a system like GIT.
Setting up an SSH key is mportant for create a work group.
For now: git pull --> git add * --> git commit -am "..." --> git push origin master!

Final Project Draft

For years, I'm passionate about energy harvesting. I suffer to see it wasted and I admire the great discoveries in electromagnetism happened the second half of 800. For these reasons I have decided to create a lighting system for bicycles, because use a battery to illuminate a light of a moving object irritates me a lot.

This light system turn on the leds while the wheel spins: with a capacitor I hope that will stay turned on for a moment, in order to be visibile also when you stop. I'ts contactless so here is quite no friction. It uses magnetic induction and should be wire, battery and maintenance free and waterproof of course!
There are a lot of DIY versions of this kind of safety lights, and some of those were very inspiring for me, but no one with a capacitor. I want to upgrade the project also with the radio waves system in order to transform the bike’s moviments in energy, ready for oder project like alarms, lights, power banks, gps locator...
The solution with the radio waves could be risky, although I would love to. I reserve the possibility of using cables to transport the energy produced.
I recently discovered the potential of the eddy currents that could simplify my project, reducing components and settings.

GANTT

In this week I fill in a pretty rough GANT in order to start to have an overview of the work. I'm sure I will have time to improve it.
