Blog Title: Supercharger VS. Turbo

Date: 4/16/18

SOMETHING I'M MOST PROUD OF THIS YEAR...
I am proud that i have a 3.55 GPA.

SOMETHING I WISH I HAD A SECOND CHANCE AT THIS YEAR IS...
I wish i could redo my science project that i failed.

GENIUS HOUR UPDATE

Last week i accomplished, getting all of my differences of a turbo and a supercharger.

Something that surprised me last week, is that a supercharger is easier to install then a turbo.

This week, my goal is to finish researching and present.

Mrs. Weimer

4/16/2018 12:48:08 pm

Why is a supercharger easier to install then a turbo? Which is most cost efficient?

brayden hoff

4/16/2018 12:50:41 pm

It is easier because it mounts right on the top of engine when a turbo has to go down farther to mount to the exhaust.

George

4/16/2018 12:53:39 pm

Will you have a diagram.

brayden hoff

4/17/2018 12:43:33 pm

Why is a supercharger easier to install than a turbo? (;

brayden hoff

4/17/2018 12:44:18 pm

It mounts right on the top of the motor and not on the exhaust.

Masen Schneider

4/16/2018 12:57:00 pm

I think that it would be cool if you explained the difference between forced induction and natural aspiration.

brayden hoff

4/17/2018 12:44:34 pm

I will try.

Bailey

4/16/2018 12:58:46 pm

Which one is better?

brayden hoff

4/17/2018 12:45:09 pm

Both are good but to me a supercharger is better because it produces more power.

Colton

4/16/2018 01:00:48 pm

Why are superchargers easier to install?

brayden hoff

4/17/2018 12:45:39 pm

They mount right on top of the motor.

kaleb

4/16/2018 01:03:41 pm

Why did that surprize you?

brayden hoff

4/17/2018 12:46:17 pm

It surprised me because they have way more parts then a turbo.

Braylon

4/16/2018 01:08:29 pm

Do you prefer a turbo or supercharger?

brayden hoff

4/17/2018 12:47:50 pm

What would you do differently as it relates to the Balsam Wood Bridge Challenge?

George

4/17/2018 12:54:06 pm

I would probably try to work faster on drawing and gluing.

If you did have a second chance at the Balsam wood project how would you improve or change your bridge? Would you give it a different design/layout?

George

4/17/2018 12:58:48 pm

I would attempt to get the drawing stage done faster and I would try to glue faster and more efficiently.

I will not have a graph, instead some examples of how data can change. what I meant by go with the flow I was proud that I was able to change and be flexible when things change. and I found data quicker and in higher amounts than I expected.

Mrs. Weimer

Who is Winn Marion? Why were you making tables for them? What was the purpose? What is your connection Winn Marion? What were the tables meant for?

Masen Schneider

4/16/2018 01:11:49 pm

They're an automation company that asked us to make them meeting tables. We're connected because my Dad's company has worked with them and because my Uncle works there.

4/16/2018 01:11:12 pm

why weren't you happy about your art.

Masen Schneider

4/16/2018 01:13:52 pm

Just because I didn't like how they turned out.

Why do you think it "took a long time to get the right source for your research?"

I think it took a long time because everybody has opinions and a lot of that information that was on the internet were opinions. Once again, thanks for asking.

Date: 4/16/18

SOMETHING I'M MOST PROUD OF THIS YEAR...
I'm proud of the Balsam Bridge Project me and Bailey did this year (even though it was frustrating and stressful) because our bridge held way more weight than we expected; all the frustration payed off when it held more than the rest of the class.

SOMETHING I WISH I HAD A SECOND CHANCE AT THIS YEAR IS...
Picking a Genius Hour project because the project I did didn't have any exciting results. Plus, the data I recorded didn't really have a good way to graph.

GENIUS HOUR UPDATE

Last week, I accomplished….
Testing all the eggs and I figured out a good graph to use for my data.
Something that surprised me last week (as it relates to my essential question) was....
That none of the eggs really had a reaction to the baking soda, pickle,or orange juice.
This week, my goal is to…….
Graph all the data I have gathered from my experiment and print out the pictures too. Then post the graphs and pictures to my presenting board, so I can be ready to present by Thursday.

Why did you choose those specific substances or solvents? Did your experiment support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

Bree

4/17/2018 01:21:23 pm

I chose the specific substances, Baking Soda, Pickle Juice and Orange Juice because I knew Orange Juice had a reaction to Baking Soda. I assumed the Pickle Juice would have a reaction to Baking Soda because Pickle Juice has vinegar in it and vinegar has a reaction to baking soda. I was hoping inside the egg when the substances touched some sort of explosion would happen, so that's why I chose those specific substances.
