TEST 1
Movement
Test Procedure
Blow Dryer,Wind, Blowing, Touching, Fan
Outcome
When I used blow dryer, the only vane that turned was the one that was right in front of the blow dryer even though I increased the volume. But I think it happened because the blow dryer only focuses on one point so it doesn’t effect the other vanes.
When I used the power of wind, I realized that the result was so much better than the blow dryer. Unlike the blow dryer, it was stronger and it didn’t focus on one point. I saw that all of vanes which were in the second and the forth line turned because the wind was coming from left. I realized that it was so hard for the smallest vanes to turn and sometimes they stopped depending on the power of the wind.
When I blew, I had the same problem with the problem I had when I used the blow dryer. It only focused on one point and effected only one of the vanes.
When I touched, it was easy for all of them to turn but it was impossible touch all of them at the same time so it only effected the one I touched.
When I used fan, I almost had the same result as I got when I used the power of the wind but I think it was better because wind is a natural source of power so it is impossible to control it. But at the fan, I increased the volume and got better results. When I used the wind, the wind was coming from the left so I wanted to try right this time to see if there was a problem about the other vanes which were in the first and the third lines. I didn’t see any problems about them and it was a bit easier for the smallest vanes to turn than the wind.
TEST 2
Safety
Test Procedure
Put it upright and see if something falls from it.
Do the same thing by using a blow dryer
Outcome
I decided to put it upright because this sculpture is supposed to be hung on the wall and that is the way it is going to look like when I hang it.
So, when I put
