Hey yesterday i got the cavitator working for the first sample of the copolymers given to us from Chelsea. Something interesting happened to it that I am not sure how to describe it. Since i couldn't get the program going on my calculator and i needed Mrs. Dickson in order to put it on the computer I had no data running. However I recorded that:
The whole sample itself was expanding and growing larger. As it grew the sammple become more clear and it seemed less concentrated as the material below the cavitation site. Also a tiny bubble did not occur, but rather a large bubble that expanded across the entire length of the sample. I couldn't tell whether it was a fracture or not because the sample then returned to its normal size and shape but the bubble seemed to still be in there. I place the sample back into the ice cube tray and will lookj at it later to see if the bubble healed itself.
WAB AFTER SCHOOL TODAY...so we will hopefully get more information and get this project underway!
Team Cavitation! This blog has been designed to keep a daily log of progress and also to share ideas and generate a focus for our experimentation. I (Anthony) will be checking the blog during my independent study and will work with any suggestions given. Let's get to work! ( P.s. don't be distracted by the big lizard on the other teams blog...remember cavitation nation domination!) © no harsh feelings were meant by the statement above.
