Do more experiments with corn starch
Make some soap run into buckets
"File:" cannot be used as a page name in this wiki.
We need to get going with seriouns planning, aquiring materials and making our experiments work for kids. This day will be in 2 groups
- a group to create the experiments for the kids
- make corn starch
- play around with it
- drop stuff on it
- try to pour soap to create the kaye effect
- a group to create the public event
- loudspeaker corn starch
- kaye effect setup (continuous running, with a pump)
- corn starch pool design
- cleaning station design (another pump)
Hornbach is open until 19:00, we can go buy stuff the same day
Ideas:
- water pump: just use an aquarium pump
- soap pump: probably print it, c.f. pumps used in hospitals
- pool: wood planks covered with thick foil and on the top edges foam to isolate pipes
- loudspeaker: there is a plexi tube available, it's not very wide, but it's free. Put speaker on bottom, corn starch can't escape. Coat the tube with lotus-effect cleaner. (need to aquire correct size speaker(s) for that)
- big speakers: have several sets of stretched foil in a frame to quickly put on the speaker
- creating big amounts of corn starch: get a drill with mixer and solid buckets
Everything bought should have a bill with your name and the mention SciFe so that it can go to the correct budget.
Shopping list
- supermarket
- big transparent bowl (for kaye effect on curved surfaces)
- various soaps (hand dish washing) and shapoos to test for kaye effect
- other common household items (mayo, ketchup, caramel topping ...) showing non newtonian properties
- hornbach
- cement buckets (to mix corn starch)
- drill (a normal power drill, with slow gear)
- mixing bit for the drill (kenn brought one, we need a second one)
- 3m*1m pool plastic (take 2 or twice the size, in case one breaks)
- 3x 2m*0.4m wood (for the sides and the floor of the pool)
- 2x 0.4m*0.4m wood (for the heads of the pool)
- 5m pipe isolation (for the top pool edge)
- tons of power tape (no we will not build the pool out of power tape like mythbusters)
- steel angles to fix the wooden planks
- screws
- aquarium water pump
- fountain bed (to avoid falling water from spashing)
