Hello! I'm here again! Today I'll explain the workshop project that we made with the university students!!
- What does it mean to be an engineer?
Engineering is the practical application of science and math to solve
problems,
and it is everywhere in the world around you. From the start to the end
of each day, engineering technologies improve the ways that we
communicate, work, travel, stay healthy, and entertain ourselves.
- How has been your experience with your team? Has all the members worked?
I've really enjoyed these experience because I think we have learned much more than if we had studied theorically. Yes, all the members worked and gave their ideas.
- Have you achieved the goal? What was wrong? How could it be improved?
No, we haven't but we have tried. The main problem was that the blades of the windmill were bigger/larger than the base. To improve it we should cut thr blades.
- Have you worked as an engineer? Why? How have you felt?
Yes, because the task was to create a mill, so we had to think the better way and also to solve the problems while we were doing it.
- Personal opinion
It has been a very interesting project and we've learned what an engineer is and also have been very original. I've like it

Clean up plastics from the oceans
Hello!
Today I wll
talk about the problem because of the plastics and the quantity of plastics in
the oceans.
The main problem is that nowadays we have a very
high quantity of plastic in oceans and seas, so a boy called BOYLAN
SLAT'S tried to do something
to recollect the plastic.
Another problem is that the plastic is a material
that takes a long time to descompose, and is not biodegradable.
Let’s talk about the genious Boyan Slat, is a dutch boy and
as I’ve said he was trying to solve the problem so he did a kind of a Wall to concentrate
all the plastic and then take it out.
My opinion about this project is like Boyan, I’m agree with
Boyan because is better to have the ocean clean because of the environment. I
think that Boyan had an incredible idea.

MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MECHANISMS
Hi!
Today
I will explain you about mechanisms.
What
is a simple machine?
A
simple machine is a device that makes work easier by magnifying or
changing the direction of a force
There
are six types of simple mechanisms:
-Lever:
is one of the most basic forms of a machine. Its helps us lift loads
with less effort.
-Wheel
and axle: a wheel is located to a central axle and they rotate each
other when a force is applied on either one of them.
-Pulley:
a basic pulley comprises of a wheel on a fixed axle, with a groove
along the edge to guide a rope
-Inclined
plane: it is a plane surface, set at an angle against a horizontal
surface
-Wedge:
is made up of two inclined planes. These planes meet and form a sharp
edge.
-Screw:
has a long and thin metal shaft with threads spiralling along its
length.
This is an example where shows that we use simple machines in our dily life
TRANSIMISSION OF MECHANISMS:
There are four types of motion:
-Linear motion:moving one way in a straight line
-Reciprocating motion: moving backwards and fowards in a straight line
This is an example where shows that we use simple machines in our dily life TRANSIMISSION OF MECHANISMS:
There are four types of motion:
-Linear motion:moving one way in a straight line
-Reciprocating motion: moving backwards and fowards in a straight line
-Oscillating motion: moving backwards and fowards in an arc
-Rotary motion: moving in a cicle
CAMS:
-Circular cams:
-Snail cam
-Four-lobed cam
-Pear cam
-Rotary motion: moving in a cicle
CAMS:
-Circular cams:
-Snail cam
-Four-lobed cam
-Pear cam
