Gear investigation : Banbao LEGO airplane




Running on ground


Motion not too smooth



Completion date: April 30, 2020

Observations
1. Motor to propeller is 24=40=40:24:16.   So propeller is running 1.5 times faster than the motor (24/16=1.5)
2. Motor to wheels is 24=40=40:24. Same speed.
3. The belt can be used to pass on the same speed from one gear to another, and these gears would move in the same direction. The belt can also be used to pass the motion over a longer distance.
4. The axle can be used to pass on the same speed and same direction of the gear on the same axle. Also, the axle can be used to displace the motion to another gear on the same axle.
5. One gear can invoke motions on multiple gears.
6. Gear’s direction can change from left/right motion to become front/back motion by using a direction-changing gear.  While this is happening, the difference in gear sizes can speed up (or slow down) the next set of gear motions.

DIY Keyboard drawer installation

Completion Date: May 24, 2020 Work from home has given me chance to use my DIY table (35cm*50cm) ever more than before.  I feel great, but I realize the fact that I don’t have enough space if I want to work on my iPad at the same time.  I bought this mini drawer tracks so I can create this space.

Star cushion

Completion date: Jun 12 2020 Steps 1. Trace the star shape onto the fabric.  Double over the fabric.  Apply pins to secure the edges.  Cut out. 2. Install a platform on the sewing machine.  3. Whenever I need to turn the fabric I place the needle down on the fabric before turning the fabric.  Sew until I get a 15 cm opening. 4. Flip the fabric inside out and put the foam filling inside the star cushion.  Bind off the opening by hand sewing. My daughter requested for a star cushion.  I recycled filling of a foam-type cushion into this one.  This was the first time I used a platform.  The table was not long enough but I put something underneath to support the platform.  She was pleased with it though it wasn’t pink as she originally requested.  Below in the picture was her little hand!
