In tech we are laser cutting. How it works is we design our piece in vectornator. Then we send it to mr Calvert and he laser cuts it for us. CNC machines are very handy for mass production. CNC or computer numerical control machines are much more efficient than NC machines.

Technology

In tech we are designing our own keychains/rings. We are using a laser cutter to trace out and cut our piece. First we have to design our piece. To design we are using a 1/16 or a 1/8 sized graph. Did you know that some plasma cutters can get as hot a 22,00º C, or 40,000º F.

Friday lesson.

On Friday I learned that the fastest moving object made by humans is the voyager. We learned about voyager and its purposes. We also learned about atoms and what their made of.  And did you know that if you multiplied the size of an atom by the size of the earth the atom would be the size of a blue berry, and the nucleus would still be so small you can’t see it. We also learned that atoms never touch therefore you are actually levitating but only by a very very very very very very very little bit.

Technology

in tech we learned how lithium ion batteries are very dangerous and explosive. even just a cut can make it explode. That’s how dangerous ion batteries are. the reason they explode is because over time the build up this rust like material inside of it. And when the rust goes from the positive to the negative side it short circuits the battery and makes it explode. Back in 2016 there was a problem with hoverboards and they were all exploding. The reason they were exploding was because of ion batteries, and now you know why ion batteries are very dangerous.

Technology

In tech we started a new project about flashlights. In this project we get to design our own flashlight out of PCB pipes. It started off with us designing our flashlight. Then we cut PBC pipes and put the caps and covers on the flashlight. After that we had to drill holes for the Light and the switch. Then we had to solder our circuit together. Overall this is what I came up with:

A couple of days ago I made jewelry in technology class it started off with me bending a metal wire into a circular shape then I cut out all of my pieces and sautered the pieces together then I tied it to a string and bam jewelery piece they are very fun to make but also pretty dangerous but you should try

Technology

My switches were very messy and my jewelry was terrible but I am happy with the results also I learned that elements are actually atoms but back to the switches they work and I like them I made my switches by cutting cardboard and hot glueing the pieces together and to make the switch conductive we used tinfoil because tinfoil conducts electricity

Technology

Did you now that if you connect a fuse to a battery the fuse will blow up and if you connect a wire to a battery with a fuse the batteries will catch fire also I learned how lightning strikes and how to solder also how to use a drill press I learned how to make switches and jewelry
