Clik the link to enjoy a thrilling experience of a pdf presentation of our achievments and fails from the beginning of term until now. Spoiler alert: we decided to make a change! Watch to find more or, as usuall, stay tooned for further information.
Sooo exicted about the results!! And another news: 6th of December there will be a Midterm Presentation,as a 2nd graders, do not have an idea what that meens…buut better be prepared and show our best.
turnover
That`s true folks…due to the qualities and quantities of the material we have been using, and also due to an advice from echoechonoisenoise, who is our teacher in this studio, we decided to make a slight turnover and use prefabricated fibres and a connection emulsion, based on the pricipes of a chopper gun. Chopper gun is basicaly mixing glass fibres and resin, which is not extremly healty too, but what if it is able to replace that stuff with something more natural?
Currently, we are experimenting and making mess, but, as always – stay tooned! This may get pretty interesting.
positive vibes
Highfive!
After almost loosing the optimism a desperate experiment leaded to something awesome.
Styrodur dissolved in toluen instead of melted sugar. This may be the field for following research – stay tooned for more.
Huston! we have a problem…
…with the material, could you please help us?
Sugar just feels so unique he simply refuse to be replaced with any other material. Yesterday we decided not to missuse time, but to contact a helpdesk, so we hit the road to the Slovak university of technology in Bratislava and headed straight to the Department of fibres and fabrics. By chance we ran into kind scholar, not a crabby one so firstly everything seemed fine. But his willingness was the only positive thing for the day. We spend there almost two hours just to came to know there is no plastic that can replace the sugar in the way we use. The plastic materials, polymeres, which are used to produce fibres are heated to more than 250°C with no acces of oxygen and then forced throught a discharge jet under the pressure from 6 to 10 atmospheres. Event that´s not enought for the fibre to be created – it is needed to be cooled by air and coiled up. We were shown a simplified machine, the diagram is in the gallery. Closure: for the plastic material we are able to use the centrifugal force which is used to create the cotton candy is not strong enought for thick plastic. Well…we are screwed.
