<\/p>\nOver this past week, i’ve been scavenging parts and trying to find useful tools to build towards my projects.<\/p>\n
For the cylinder, i found a clear glass bottle that used to hold water plants. I was going around campus to see if there are resources to cut it in half, but noting promising at the moment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Suggestion from class: Talk to Karin about glass blowing workshop<\/p>\n
For the actuation system, I acquired a motor, Arduino, plastic linear slider and other necessary links and parts. However, one concern i have is that the light weight slider i have is not going to support the weight of the glass bottle.<\/p>\n
suggestion from class: try out drawer slider as an alternative<\/p>\n
For the flame coloring source, there are a few common chemicals that can be found. Here are my shopping list<\/p>\n
lithium salt from dead battery: red flame<\/p>\n
table salt : yellow<\/p>\n
calcium salt: orange<\/p>\n
borax laundry booster (boric acid): green<\/p>\n
rubbing alcohol: blue<\/p>\n
potassium salt (non sodium salt substitute): magenta\/violet<\/p>\n
suggestion from class: reach out to chemistry lab and see if they offer those chemicals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
