                       RAIN GAUGE

We made a rain gauge by cutting off the top of a bottle and then placing it into the base of the bottle upside down. We put it in the school’s garden. How we measured it was by going out into the garden every morning at about 9 a.m to see if there was any rain in the bottle, if there was we would measure it by putting a ruler against the bottle to see how much was in it. After we measured it we would go back to class and put the records we got from the rain gauge on to the chart we made.

A Visit From Honeywell

A Visit from Honeywell

On the 31^st of January a man from Honeywell, John Brennan, came to our class so discuss our project for ‘Engineer Week’ he showed us a PowerPoint slide-show of the construction of turbo wheels. He showed us robots, how the turbo wheels are made, where they ship the turbo wheel and how the turbo wheels are used and the various vehicles in which they are used in. The vehicles range from 1.8L ‘Mini Nanos’ from India all the way to 100L CAT ‘Mining Truck’ he passed out some of the smaller turbo wheels for the whole class to see. And he even brought in a scale model of a turbo. He explained how Honeywell make the only double-sided turbo wheels in the world. He was explaining how Honeywell ship turbo wheels all around the world. And he told us some facts like how the robots make 1000 an hour. He told us how many RPM (Revolutions per Minute) the turbo wheel does. Unfortunately I forgot. He told us how hot the melting aluminium can get, 2000 degrees, and how they have to wear special safety goggles and fancy ear plugs because it’s so loud and steel cap shoes because there have been many incidents in the past where people have been burnt by aluminium and metal and even someone got their nose burnt off. That is why they have so much protective gear.
