Propeller

Archeologists have made several advances in the technology that they use to find buried treasure, weather information, lost cities. In the past archeologists have used simple ways to find items of interest. People would use traditional foot surveys to find the treasure or other artifacts, this process takes a long time to complete. New technology like LIDAR, Dropsonde Hurricane Sensors, and The Mailbox have been used to make the process of finding the articacts and the information faster and more efficient. There have been new ideas and ways to find items like The Mailbox. This system is a tube that is bent at a 90 degree angle, one end is placed by the propeller, and the other is placed near the ocean floor. When the propellers are activated,…

Horseley Ironworks built the first iron steamboat that was used in the ocean. It had an innovative oscillating engine with good power. It was put together with temporary bolts and sent to London and put on the Thames River in 1822. The screw propeller was introduced in 1835 by Francis Pettit Smith. Screws were used as propellers, and during one of his testings a part of the screws broke off, and actually made it into a more modern propeller, and the boat went faster. John Penn was the man…

A Suspicious Bandit and an Inquisitive Beauty Alfred Hitchcock was a brilliant director of the mid-twentieth century directing very famous films such as Psycho (1960), Rear Window (1954), and To Catch a Thief (1955). The film To Catch a Thief, starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, is a suspense-thriller about an ex-jewel thief accused of committing crimes parallel to his work in the past. In the film, the main characters John Robie (Cary Grant) and Frances Stevens (Grace Kelly) were…

Explanations Animals 1.) Fiddler Crab-I knew that this animal was a fiddler crab because of its habitat. It lived in the mud in my back yard that is part of the intercostal. I also knew it was a fiddler crab because of its huge claw resembling a fiddle, hence its name. 2.) Millipede-I knew this was millipede because it had 2 pairs of legs on each body segment, attached to the underside of its body. It also had spiracles on the underside of its body. Plants 1.) Rose-I knew this was a rose…

Students will simulate the function a propeller by creating an ancient signaling device known as a bullroarer. Set-Up: Each student will need one craft stick, one index card, one rubber band and 2 paper clips. Groups of students can share measuring tape, string, markers and masking tape. Demo and discussion: Bullroarers have been used by many cultures, throughout many continents, for thousands of years. Anthropologists, scientists who study ancient cultures, have disputed whether or not…

Since the blades in the experiment were all at the same level, and the air was pretty much controlled, the large rotors didn’t get a lot of power because the blades weight was heavier than the rest. This was expected due to the calculation that the mass of the rotors or propellers will be easier for the wind to manipulate as it is short and light. If an object like a rotor, is placed in the…

Patrick Conroy October 16th, 2014 Principles of Engineering Independent research project Jet Aircraft vs. Propeller Aircraft While hybrid engines and electric cars have begun to change the way we travel, the airplane still remains the fastest and most efficient way of travelling long distances. The 1903 invention of the airplane has kept relatively the same principle. During its hundred plus years the idea has only experienced several major advancements. The most notable of these being the jet…

The boat, despite many bugs that needed to be worked out, preformed to the team’s expectations and in the result preformed well. There are many aspects to how the boat performed as well as it did and why some of the problems that were encountered were present. These aspects include the physics concepts of buoyancy and efficiency; the design choice to have the propeller bellow water and a narrower, longer body; and testing and debugging the vessel to work optimally. The vessel operated well due…

of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme, Andrew Brownlow decided to further examine this case, and sure enough he found nine other dead pups orbiting the same area. Since he is a veterinary pathologist, a person who studies animals that wash ashore and find the causes of their deaths, he was able to recognize that the wound marks were the in contrast to the injuries from the boat propellers. They had seen that the fray sela had drowned the pup. Deciding to trace the adult seal, they found…

and ended up with a wind powered car with a water bottle as the base of the car. With the water bottle as the base, there are four metal tin lids as the wheels with a straw in the center of the whole to cause less fiction. Then the skewer sticks go threw the straws which all are connected to the bottom of the water bottle. With balloons on the four tin lids for traction to have the wheels move smoothly. A skewer stick poking out of the front of the water bottle to hold the rubber band at a…
