Slide 1

     Title

Slide 2

     Evocative Image: Gif with the movement of the wave. The main inspiration for our project.

Slide 3

     Challenge and Solution

Slide 4

     Precedent: Kinetic sculpture with a similar idea of using the weight of your object to make a repetitive movement.

Iterations

     Slide 5: First attempt with paper clips and painters tape. 

     Slide 6: Similar idea to first with different materials.

     Slide 7: First design with laser cut rods. Worked effectively but was very large.

     Slide 8: Changing from tape to fabric, was a good idea but the fabric we choose was too stretchy. 

     Slide 9: First iteration with full base and electronics. 

Final

     Slide 10: We fully competed for one structure with electronics and one without. There were two main components.

    Slide 11: The motor and spindle, which tapped the rod to trigger the wave.

   Slide 12: The vibration sensor to recognize when you tapped it.
