...And so, by adjusting the flux density across the connectors Wb and Wc, the voltage going to the element increases, meaning we get a higher temperature gradient. This is actually quite important because beyond a certain threshold the vitellus and the albumen start to separate - the albumen is known to coalesce faster. If the temperature gradient is high enough, then this threshold is crossed in milliseconds - this allows the final result to take form much more effectively and with a smaller error margin. Granted, even if the albumen proteins start to deform before the vitellus, it doesn't affect the end that much. Of course, it's always worth striving for perfection.

Annoyingly, when it comes to the process of mixing the endosperm solute and the monosaccharide grain, the rotary armature that has been incorporated into the design is subject to failure, and the reliability of its results leave a lot to be desired. Of course, bringing in human error is a step backwards, so the only reasonable answer is to process the two constituent parts separately into a form that is more prone to diffusion. This is a simply fix, actually, as inducing an electrostatic field across one of the two constituent parts and then stirring them withint a charged drum will allow for the largest volume flow. It may be an idea to test this device small scale first, however, as it is likely that due to the size of the particles, relativisitc physics kicks in and charge can be transferred - this would negate the entire method itself.

Moving onto the concentration of the protective solution, it was discovered that there are actually up to three different methods of producing the chemical required. Even though all three vary slightly, the texture and physical properties required for this experiment are all similar. Solution A may require some more exotic constituents, however, such as an extract of camphor laurel and fragaria × ananassa. Solution C seems to be the best compromise, offering a softer texture than both of its competitors, while also having the simplest production method of running at least 330K across a generous volume of theobroma genus.

If we use Newton's equation F=ma, by knowing both mass and launch impulse, acceleration can be calculated. This can be subsituted into D=0.07Cf(ge/g)^(1/6) * (W pa/pt)^(1/3.4), as most of the other variables can be measured, we can calculated the size of the impact crater from the rubus fruticosus, and knowing the working area we have to deal with, appropriate designs can start to be formulated based on any area with a gradient of less than 0.25 in the direction of the outer ring. Depending on the results of this experiment, it may well be the case that firing said rubus fruticosus into the final product is not even needed. If this is the case, more of the protective solution will be required. Thus, it is best to mix up an excess batch, any wastage can be dealt with in a clean and humane manner.

Coming back to the conundrum of the solute and grain, the charged field drum experiment was a failure. As I suspected, the charge was not being carried consistently. While the results suggest that relativisitc factors had nothing to do with it, a more plausible explaination would be the atomic structure of the endosperm grain - a particle heavy in carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen is less likely to carry a charge, due to having a more balances proton-neutron structure. Charging the monosaccharide is not an option either - both are composed of primarily organic matter, and as a result an electrostatic method will not work. The use of explosives has been prohibited, and so it results that human error must be incorporated. Sadly, the traditional chemical spatula is too small an instrument to use in this scenario, and my own antebrachium is not very strong. Despite this, the operation will proceed - the measured volumes of each constituent shall be mixed before it is required in the overall experiment. This will allow me time to set up the various equipment and utilities for the processes which can be mechanized, increasing efficiency.

The final problem however, is the solvent that is to be used to fuse the upper half of the experiment with the bottom. This is assuming the grains, vitellus-albumen, butter, and triglyceroid colloid protein solution mixture does in fact set and solidify at the given temperature outlined above. It is also imperative that said mixutre is not overexposed to heat, as this causes many of the proteins in the vitellus and colloid to denaturize, leading to a blackened, unwanted product. In any case, the task at hand allows for two solutions: fragaria extract or dehomogenized triglyceride casein. Of course, the fragaria genus is already being consumed within this experiment, and so a recursion of produce may lead to unfavourable results. Also I personally dislike fragaria. However, one also questions the suitability of the creamed casein with theobroma extract. Regardless, the outcome is less likely to end in distaste.

The experiment was a success - human error did not occur, but as expected, my antebrachium gave out after a while. Fortunately, the mixture was already at a suitable viscosity, and this did not affect the end result. Despite speculation about the quality of the casein cream extract with theobroma, the end result was very enjoyable.
