Aim-The aim for our Tech Fare project was to create a cycle generator that produced energy.
Features-The generator would turn mechanical energy to electrical energy and it would also switch off when the timer of the NXT motor runs out.
How we made it?
We gathered all the following materials.We made a stand by welding metal.We then attached a wheel to the stand.We took out a chain system from a cycle and added a pully that would allow us to rotate it.We added a dynamo connecting to the wheel. So when the wheel rotates the dynamo rotates producing electricity and powering the bulb.We added a switch to start and stop the bulb.We added a motor next to the switch and connected it to a next programmer. This would then start and stop the motor when the timer in the nxt runs out.
I think we were successful as we were able to make it as we planned it and it worked properly.
I think it was a very smart and unique idea from most other people, although other people did use mindstorm NXT, I don't remember anyone who used it to operate something other than the NXT itself. good job
ReplyDeleteGood work. You thought outside the box and it was really well demonstrated. I think that the layout was quite fundamental however you may add more functions and use more tools in your work to show how it operates.
