Hoverboard Forces Project
Hoverboard Forces Project
For our hoverboard project, my group and I had to construct a lifesize, fully operational hover board. It was indeed a tedious project. First, we cut a plank down to size and sanded it, in order to get the circular shape required. Then, we cut out a 5ft in diameter circle out of a plastic sheet. Then, we began to drill a ¼ inch hole in the middle of our wood plank. after that we wrapped the perimeter of the wood plank in duck tape
Then, we had to cut 8 evenly spaced holes in the plastic we previously cut. In order to do that we made a stencil to make sure everything was accurate. To cut out the circles in the plastic sheet, we used a box cutter and the stencil. Then, we cut out a whole for the vaccum in the wooden plank. We used a 1 inch wide drill bit and a jigsaw. We then assembled the plastic sheet and wood plank together using screws, fender benders, nuts, and a lid.
We included both the elements of art and the principals of design. For example we included form (because our hoverboard is three dimensional), Shape (because our hoverboard is circular), Texture (because our hoverboard is smooth), Symmetry (because of our evenly spaced holes), and finally pattern (because the holes are repeated). My group and I were able to hover people all the way across the room therefore I deem this project successful.
