The gravity light is quite innovative and seems like a very simple concept, but it was difficult to figure out the specifics. Estimating and assumptions helped me conceptualize this device. I'm still not confident I know how this works though. This product seems viable to me.
Assumptions:
- We assumed the length of light is about 5 inches because the man's head looks about twice as long as the light. Measured my head and assumed a man's head would be a couple inches longer than mine
- Plastic bag appears 8 times as long as the light, 8x5= 40 inches (length of bag)
- Width of bag appears to be as long as light, 5 inches
- We used weight of bowling ball as a good estimate for the weight required to power gravity light, 10 lbs
- If a bowling ball was compressed into a 5x5 cube, then 5 of them could fit into the plastic bag
- 50 lbs seemed like it was too much so I halved it for realistic measures
- I'd say about 25-30 lbs is the weight required to power the gravity light
You say "we" in your post, did you work in a group?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I brainstormed with Luisa actually
