Our project visualizes non visual forces by moving a string with an ink dropper attached. When forces are applied to the top of the string, and are amplified by a tin can in which the string resides, moving the string below.

We designed our project to visualize non visual forces. Our project is for anyone, and we made it through a series of prototypes. Initially, we used just a pendulum to mark up paper below. We moved from this to using a tin can surrounding the string, and we hit this can with a tuning fork. This amplifies the force, and moves the string. At the end of the string, we have a dropper with the rubber part removed, so ink can drip onto the paper one drip at a time.
