final post

This year I had a lot of fun. I accomplished many things but I could have done many things different too. one thing I did well this year was building the pump. This was an activity that I was very interested in and worked on for many hours. one thing that I could have worked on was the one project that I made headphone that were stronger. I didn't really enjoy that project but I got it done and I drew it on sketch up. I think maybe if I had choose a more interesting project I would have been more interested in it. I looked forward to fixing up the paths but we sadly didn't have time to fix them up at the end of the year. I look forward to using the many skills I learned this year in the future.

A plunger pump is a type of positive displacement pump where the high-pressure seal is stationary and a smooth cylindrical plunger slides through the seal. This makes them different from piston pumps and allows them to be used at higher pressures. This type of pump is often used to transfer municipal and industrial sewage.

I will be designing a pump for water with Emily, we planned to build a hand pump with a bike pump.

To make one i will need

• 2 buckets
• part of a hose
•  plunger

Stronger Jack

This is a regular jack that i modified to make it stronger

brocken headphones excel

Current problem: It is frustrating to have to buy new headphones because they keep breaking.
Major idea: Put spandex in between the plastic and the actual wire.
S-substitute  water proof spandex for the plastic.
C-combine the spandex and the wire.
A-adapt the wire to be thicker
M-magnify the connection in the wire.
M-modify the jack.
P-put the spandex in between the plastic and the actual wire.
E-eliminate the plastic completely.
R-rearrange
R-reverse
