Back to Lifters team page.

Give instructor top 3 project choice list
My top 3 choices for project 2 are static electricity ,bridges, and model boat.

Write problem statement
The problem right now is to find the voltage of some electronic gun-shaped object. We want to know what is the voltage of that thing. Also we want electricity volts 10,000 or more which is dangerous! We need to find an old television set and take it apart to supply voltage for the lifter.

Assign Task1
Right now I am planning to design the lifter by using wooden sticks as supporting structure and alumminum foil at the material for the lifter. Like the one in the following videos. We use alumminum as the electricity conductor.

Compare actual work done to Task1
I just found out that I gave away my old monitor to a goodwill store. So I will search some websites of how to design a high voltage power generator. If possible, I might find some old television sets. Right now the problem throughout the whole project is supplying voltage. The design of the lifter is taken care of. So we decided that the design of the lifter should be a triangular prism structure. We seen it in so many YouTube videos. I say this is the best and only design because if we do another design or make it big, then the mass will get heavy and it's hard for the electricity volts to lift the lifter. SWe want to keep the lifter less mass as possible.

Week1 Narrative
Upload photos to wikimedia. Upload video to youtube. Convert all spreadsheets, documents, and presentations to wiki format and create wiki subpage of your page for each of them. Link to them here in a narrative that tells a story. High light the problems (engineering problems) you had and how you solved them.

Week1 Peer Review
Go to each team mates weekly summary wiki page. Read their activities and narrative. Then go the associated discussion page. Say something positive on this page. Try some constructive criticism. Add your name and a signature ~ by entering four tildes in a row to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task2
For week 2, my task is to design high voltage power generator.

Compare actual work done to Task2
Right now the problem is to find or build a power voltage supply that can lift the lifter.

Week2 Narrative
I found a high voltage probe in the engineering room manufactured by HP (Hewitt-Packard). I was trying to figure it out what this devices does. Also I wondered if I can take the high voltage probe apart but there are no screws for me to remove. Also the plug looks like rounded-shape. So it's a European high voltage probe because in the United States, the plugs have flat-shaped. I found what the device does. It measures how many volts does a device has. It uses with a voltmeter. I learned from this website.

Assign Task3
I will continue of finding and building voltage supply or will take the high voltage probe apart. There's got to be a way of taking apart. I don't see any screws for me to remove.

Compare actual work done to Task3
I will continue of finding a design of high voltage supply.

Week3 Narrative
I searched around Youtube and only I found are designing high voltage supplement that is less than what we need. There were like from 2500V to 5000V. Not enough.

Assign Task4
I will look for transformers in the engineering lab and figure them out of how to use them.

Compare actual work done to Task4
The goal is to connect the high voltage probe to the volmeter to make the lifter go up.

Week4 Narrative
I turned up the voltmeter slowly but the lifter did not go up.

I will take one of radio control cars home and take it apart to see what is the part looks like that causes the radio waves to command the car to go to a specific direction.
