On Thursday 30th the whole class walked in the room in hopes that their motor will spin 3 time (1080 degrees). We all brought in supplies such as paper clip, wood, soda cans, and nail for what we couldn't bring Mr.Chung kindly brought such as the hammers and corks.
I started off by hammering the four nails in to the plank of wood with the distance of 4 cm apart while my partner Lena sanded the soda cans to perfection.
After I finished with the hammering, I try to make the axle by sticking a kabob stick through the cork. At first it seemed easy until the point where the stick reach the middle of the cork and it wouldn' move after snapping 2 kabob sticks i found out that you first use a nail fist to make a hole, finally on the third try i successful finish make the axle and Lena finished sanding the soda can strip and making the base for the axle to rotate on.
Then my panther started warping the copper wire around the cork while I was making the base more secure.
There we are finished and only need to test it out.
Test number one (not really) : Rejected do the the wires not being parallel to the commutator pins.
Test number one : failed commutator pins were too close to the cork.
Test number two :Unknown
Overall I gained valuable knowledge of where my mistakes were and how to avoid them in the future.
