Since it is already the second marking period, I decided to gear shift and start thinking of ideas for a new project. After doing some thinking, I decided that for my project I want to create some cool things on the 3D-Printer as I have never used it before. It is so interesting seeing theContinue reading “December 2, 2020”

Happy December first!! The year really did fly by fast. For the first day back from break, I did a little more work on the Maglev PowerPoint. Right now, it is basically a copy-and-paste of my blogs. I plan on reading through it in depth and revising it to make it more like a presentationContinue reading “December 1, 2020”

I got to be honest and say that I am already in Thanksgiving Break mode so today was not the most productive day although I created a goal of perfecting my PowerPoint over break and finishing it before returning to school. I will then share the finished project in a blog. As I am finishingContinue reading “November 20, 2020”

Today was a simpler day as I focused on the design concept of the PowerPoint such as the font, style, design, and I also created the introductory slides. I haven’t made an amount of the progress that could be shared through pictures.

This week is the start of creating my final project PowerPoint that would wrap up my Maglev research for the first marking period. When I started working I realized that I have a lot of blogposts, facts, and information related less about my project and more about DaVinci itself. I am unsure if I shouldContinue reading “November 16, 2020”

After a week of not much progress in the creation of my own experiment, I decided to come up with a different approach on how to wrap up this project. The first project is nearing an end as most of my classmates are done and because I’ve been in a slump trying to finding aContinue reading “November 13, 2020”

Today I will cover the third and final part from the article linked in Tuesday’s post! In the final part of the article, the author linked two videos that show a presentation of “The Cooling Superconductor Experiment”. What makes this experiment different is that to keep the superconductor cooled for longer, it “is partly insulatedContinue reading “November 12, 2020”

As a continuation from yesterday’s article, the author goes on to talk about the different types of Maglev trains around the world some being based in Japan, Linimo (Japan), South Korea, Shanghai, and Changsha (China). In Japan, tracks and trains have been open to use since 1969. “The Chuo Skinkansesn started its development in theContinue reading “November 11, 2020”
