hero's engine part 3
this is my part 3 of engine hero's and rocket. I did it because it was some of my homework. I really enjoyed this activity this week it was really fun to do hope we can do something like this next week. I am still wondering what they used this in the olden days?

Well done Bella! You have described well the differences between your can experiment and Hero's steam engine. I agree it would be very interesting to know how many rotations his design could do in an hour. I wonder how many rotations your can could do in one minute if you kept topping it up with water?
ReplyDeleteHi Bella,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you have enjoyed learning about Hero, He certainly was a very clever inventor, all those years ago. You have thought really hard about the differences between his machine and the modern day rockets. Have you tried varying the sizes of cans in your experiments?
You have posed some interesting questions for further investigation! Well done. I was wondering about the revolutions in an hour one... could you set it up so that it has continuous water so it keeps spinning? Would this make it go faster? Food for thought! Yes the direction of the holes is important because that creates the opposite reaction. Did you notice that the can spun opposite to the way the water goes out? That's Thrust!
