inspiration is what we need to solve this task
inspiration is what we do not find in an empty classroom.
inspiration is when we is only an idea and then find a way
inspiration what we find when we look for it.
inspiration is what we both at the beginning of the hour had not really.
We began our work order with searching for ways an egg so great a distance to bring down without ending up with a sunny-side-up.
Physics delivered us to the first potentially viable idea, because since this week we were able to calculate the speed at which our property to pay down our shield would if this or should that area.
- "Who came first? , The chicken or the egg "
resulted from this saying that our first design:
The" chicken-air ship "(? See)
- in addition to chickens connects one egg with Easter, and who as a child does not like the Vesper by basket hoist transport the tree house. The result:
The "Three-in-my-ear spoons-and-the-Easter comes-up-hoist"
- The abstruse idea was then but the free-fall, this approach failed but unfortunately after the physical calculation of the speed and to guarantee the required mass of water or jelly to a safe landing.
The "bump-in-toilet" design literally put a lot into the water.
- And the ski lift for egg heads is not due to the cost of materials to implement well. The
"The ride to the egg-Everest" was explained thus also defective.
Our imagination was soon exhausted, but we quickly found a new source of inspiration. The
GEO magazine of 96 with an article about marine animals and underwater exploration that was kindly directly next to our place.
And after a few considerations and changes, we had the rough idea for our egg.
from Plexiglas, we build an approximately 20 meter long tube with a diameter of 5 cm.
This is then filled with water and a weighted egg above admitted.
slowed due to the increasing pressure, the velocity of the ice automatically the closer it comes to the floor and there is no danger of breaking.
later we still have to see if the raw egg can withstand such pressure, but if not we can always still stuck in a glass lift or modify our design and drain the water easily and thus carry the egg down.
below is then an opening that allows the egg out of the tube in something (which we are and still not sure) fall for.
course is through this opening only at the end Open a free with a nylon rope connected, sliding door.
sound the bell interrupted our thoughts and we went home with the tasks of us about the cost of materials, to inform the egg forces and the exact amount of the school building.
yayyyy! Sixteen at last!! Man, but that has lasted forever.
