Write problem/project Goal
To build a new static electricity generator and harness enough static electricity to make an aluminum triangle float.

My First Task
Look at the previous page at Static Project and try to make something fly by static electricity

Summary of actual work over first weekend
What I have done is make a triangle shape grocery plastic bag fly using a charged latex balloon i charged the plastic bag by rubbing it against Formica surface using a cotton cloth the balloon has to be charged by the same way of the plastic bag.

Week1 Narrative
according to the experiment that i have done and this video static electricity i thought that we should build the lifter triangle out of grocery plastic bag its lighter than aluminum fuel and it will be able to levitate the experiment that i did didn't work like it did in the video but it float for 2 seconds and it dropped.

My Second Task
build the triangle

Summary of actual work over second weekend
i worked on static flyers experiment again to get a better results

Week2 Narrative
last time i did the static flyer experiment at home the heat was on so it didn't really work so this weekend I've tried it again i have turned the heat off and all the electricity machines in the house it gave a better result.

My Third task
build the flooder

Summary of actual work over third weekend
i built a lighter and smaller flooder using pipe cleaners i attached the cleaners into each others and the covered it with foil the i burned the wires to get rid of the color and then attache into the flooder



Week3 Narrative
i went to the grocery store to get some pipe cleaners to build a lighter static electricity flooder according to the previous team page the problem with the flooder was too heavy so i thought that pipe cleaners would be the best thing to use instead of wooden sticks so i got the pipe cleaners i start attaching them into each other making a shape of triangle that match's the older flooder but i made a little bit smaller so it losses some of it weight.

My Fourth task
imporove the flooder

Summary of actual work over fourth weekend
i worked on improving the flooder because it was faling a part so i had to make sure that its good. so i decided to replace the pipe cleaners in the corner of the flooder with wooden sticke to make sure it stays still because the pipe cleaners were dancing so i had to choose a more solid materlial that hold the flooder, however i kept the pipe cleaners on the side because of the weight problem.

Week4 Narrative
