Assignment 2 Real Construction ( Real Dome )

Week 3:

We went back to the shop which make paper dolls for the Buddhist.We went there with other groups:Feng's and weng jen's group.
My group bought 8 bamboos there.It cost rm2 each.
Hahh...we cut the bamboos at there too.(hope that we didn disturb the boss lah..)
Before this ,we bought measuring tape from the nearby stationary shop.


Besides,we also went to Tesco to buy the wire (rm3.80) and plier(rm9.90).....
We felt quite grateful coz our progression can go smoothly....we plan that we will start to construct the dome next week....XD

Since we had open a shared blog,our next progressions can refer to http://endoftheworlddome.blogspot.com/

Assignment 2-Real Construction(big dome)

Week 2:

hahh,its the time to blog out our progression again!!
After a week,our group really come out with new progress....

We went to buy lorry tyres tiub on Friday afternoon which located somewhere near USM .
We think the tiub can afford our 3 member and the dome 's weight.....(actually quite worry .....)


We bought 2 tyres tiub , 1 bigger and another smaller. It costs us RM30!!

About the connector,we have a more clear image after En wan b showed the example to us on last week.
We also have some idea but still need to survey 1st....


Besides,we also have some idea about the dome......(we will blog out later .....)

Assignment 2-Real Construction(big dome)

Week 1:

During this week,i and my group members(shu ying and grace)(actors) just think and sketched out the dome in my black book(place).

In the beginning,we had the idea to use the 5 litre water bottle as the base.That was only the roughly idea of us.we still need to survey other factors(principle) such as:
-float all the members
-carryable by group members
-life-span of 28 months

After discussion,we came out with new idea.We decided to use the tyre to replace the 5 litre water bottle.We believe that tyre have the better floating ability.However,we still cannnot decide how many tyre should we use.



On the top of tyres,we will tie it with the bamboos.In this part,we had some idea about the arrangement of the bamboos.Either is all vertical,all horizontal or "bersilang" .We have to choose one of the way which can make the dome more stable.

Until now,we still have the problem to connect the bamboos.We still get some idea like tie it with string , screw it , use wire to shape the structure.

We hope we have more progression during next time....
