Dear Bloggers,
The last few days have been quite warm but 2AF knew how to cool themselves down. They had to design and make a fan that: used gears or pulleys, moved a large amount of air and was stable. Lots of experimenting and design modifications occurred but by the end of the lesson all students had a wonderful fan. The secret: large propeller blades to move lots of air, a broad flat base for stability and a large driver gear with a small follower gear so that the blades move as fast as possible. It was a breeze really!!! (pardon the pun – I couldn’t resist).
Thanks for calling by
Mrs Garlick
