Chemical Dominoes
|
For this project, we built a series of chemical dominoes. Chemical dominoes are a series of chemical reactions that work to achieve a task.
Our project did not achieve our task at the end, which was to disconnect the power from an LED light by breaking the foil connecting it. Our processes and the science behind them are below. During this project, we faced many complications. We spent the first days of the project trying a chemical battery. We tried many different methods, from stacking the components to connecting them apart with alligator clips. After three days, we moved on from that method, after realizing it was unsuccessful. We decided to work on it step by step, fixing pieces later if we needed to. We ended up with an unfinished product, but a finished group of events. They worked overall, and one of our ideas was an idea no other group was using. While our original idea dd not work, we ended up with something manageable. |
