Week 3 – Vertical Stabilizer
For week three we had to create a reasonably high
tower than would withstand a ‘blow test’. The aim was to build the tower as
tall as possible and as stable as possible. We had a deck of cards and paper
clips to complete this task. Our group decided to waffle the design, believing
that this would enable us to reach a reasonable height and construct something
that would be reasonable stable.
How and where the structure failed? The structure
was quite stable and withstood two ‘blow tests’, however it was not very tall.
Dimensions?
Height - 450mm
Base dimensions - 150mm x 150mm
Diagram
Height/Width of Base?
450/150 = 3
