The first draft!

During the second group meeting, we built upon the idea of the bubble machine by splitting the workload between the four of us. Each of us thought of our own mechanisms, and thought about combining them into one whole mechanism by the end mark of this project.

For one of the schematics, a DC motor was placed upon an iron bar which was stacked onto two cups. The cups are approximately a foot and a half away from each other. The DC motor will function as a kind of slider, which the bubble wand is attached to. It will slide back and forth between both ends of the bar. At one end of the bar there will be a bubble solution in which the wand will dip and slide to the other end. At the other end there is a fan that will blow the bubble!! Here is a sketch of what the schematic looks like.

 

Here is an upside down picture of our apparatus. It was faced upside down for interest points. Just kidding, we couldn't get it to be rightsideup.

And since we didn't mention this in the previous blog, our fellow bubblers are Mike Law, Christopher Riccio, Irini Billiri, and Sianvirath Chea.
