LAST POST...again.

Well, I realized that I had posted a small blurb on my song editing...but I had thought that I had posted something more. WELL. here is a more detailed post about the song editing, I guess.

I edited my favorite part of the song I Hope This Gets to You by The Daylights. I used my favorite quote from the song (and one of my favorite quotes in general), and raised the pitch. I originally was going to raise it a lot, to an obnoxiously high pitch, but instead, I just raised it a few half steps as well as strengthening the bass. It was not a huge difference, but it was noticeable. The link to the song is below on the original post.

The Last Few Tests

Balloon Car

Sara, Ansley and I did our balloon car together way back when in the beginning of this semester. Our car was a piece of cardboard with two balloons connected to a black funnel that we used to blow up the balloons and to slowly release the air. As we started testing our car, we found out that one balloon needed to be smaller than the other so the car would go straight. We also figured out that we couldn't make the other balloon too big or else it wouldn't move quickly because it had too much mass and not enough air was coming out fast enough to move the car.

Camera Into Space...Almost

For the container that we made for the balloon in space project, we used Fluffy, a stuffed dog, a Tupperware container, felt, and some hand warmers. We put the hand warmers and the camera in Fluffy. It was a good concept to have the camera and the hand warmers inside of something that could keep the warmth, but sadly, our container failed. It was the tupperware that failed us and cracked during our test runs. Sadly, we also didn't have any mor time to fine a better, stringer container, so we didn't send Fluffy into space. The felt was ctually a great aiding for the camera and fluffy, but the Tupperware just wasn't strong enough for the whole project. It was a good idea, but was not successful.

I Hope This Gets to You... Kids Bop Version

I boosted the bass to a Hz of 280, and raised the pitch to D#.

Today in class, I finally got my song recorded, and started changing the pitch, etc. 

Today In Class

Today in class, Ansley, Eleanor and I made a group checklist and an official to do list for the balloon launch. Both of these lists are on Griffin Science, and you can edit them as we finish things on the list!

Our Container

We tested our container, Fluffy, which consisted of a tupperware container, felt padding and Fluffy (holding the Flip camera). After a few rounds of throwing Fluffy from the gym and outside, the container broke. Fluffy and the camera were okay, but the force was too much for the tupperware to handle. We didn't have any padding on the roof, and we probably should have padded that. The plan would have been successful, but sadly, we didn't have the right tupperware/plastic holder. 

Because we are short on time, our group has decided to just help the other container groups and help them finish successfully.

Today in Class...

Today in class, we murdered a stuffed animal. Fluffy the dog now has a flip camera inside of him. We went to Mrs. Burtnett and she helped us cut a hole down Fluffy's stomach. If you are wondering why we used a stuffed animal to hold the flip, Fluffy is going to keep the camera very warm once the hand warmers are inside of her. Tomorrow we will once again murder a stuffed animal, but this time we are going to put the camera that takes pictures every few minutes in side of it. Then, we will strap the two animals inside of a tupperware container, and make sure it will be safe. 


R.I.P FLUFFFFFYYYY.
