The zipline has been researched, designed, constructed, and tested. My goal was to create this project in a matter of 12 days while following my clients' requirements. ]]> 2020-10-26 16:09:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/862399515 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868347087 2020-10-28 04:31:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868347087 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868368588 As I began to create my final design I considered the the measurements and materials.]]> 2020-10-28 04:43:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868368588 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868381329 When creating my prototype I ran into several problems. The first problem I ran into was the balance and durability. This began when I found out that the cups were to small to hold the dowels I had to change them out for buckets and continued to fill them with sand. The dowels still wouldn't stay in place so I added paper towels rolls to the buckets and it started to hold its place. In order to secure the dowels I added newspapers into the holes of the paper towel in order for it to not move. The second problem I ran into was the height and movement of the zip line. To solve this problem I added a stool to the end with the highest level of wire. As I continued the prototype I followed the sketched and examined the time of the zip lines travel. ]]> 2020-10-28 04:50:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868381329 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868421713 2020-10-28 05:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868421713 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868439030 The prototype was overall a success. The cargo safely carried the egg across the zipline. However the zipline is slower compared  to other ziplines. My original plan wasn’t successful.  From my design I wanted to use 26 oz cups with sand inside but the cups couldn’t hold the zipline.  So I changed the cups for buckets. Once I added the dowels to the sand the zipline still didn’t hold. Because of this I got paper towels and placed it into the sand to hold the dowels. In order to make the zipline more sturdy I added newspaper into the hole of the paper towels. Once I got a sturdy structure I created the zipline with a wire. The elevation of the zipline was a problem so I added a stool to one side so that the zipline would be able to move. Based on the testing methods I plan to improve the speed of the zipline and the size of the cargo.

SO as a began to improve and finalize the zip line I took these into consideration. ]]> 2020-10-28 05:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868458061 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868464213 In my final prototype I added bubble wrap to the lower end of the zipline to prevent movement. I also improved the cargo. Since the straws were flimsy I decided to put string through the straws and it began to hold place. I also replaced the ring with a different shaped one. To secure the straws and ring I added tape to it. I also made the ring make the cargo move in one direction. The ring slightly improved the speed and made the design come together. I also made the cargo more neat.]]> 2020-10-28 05:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868464213 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868500982 2020-10-28 05:58:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868500982 ashley_407783 https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868535086 2020-10-28 06:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ashley_407783/evrcgwqaxekiky6p/wish/868535086
