How To Make A Flying Crank Ghost
This project is about a fly crank ghost. This one to me was the most interesting one because it was a eye catcher and looked very entertaining. I never personally saw a flyin crank ghost. Whats cool about this project is that when building this project you are only using materials that you use in veryday life you'll have to complete the project to see what im talking about. I would like to try this project put with my partner. Its not goin to a very quick one reason being is that its new and I never built it before. A fun project for all age to do really to be honest. Looks like you'll have a lot of fun building this but don't have to much because your work wont be as productive. If i had to pick my project I would probably pick this one to be real. A Flying crank Ghost was very great to research up on.
How To Make A Flying Helicopter
This project is on a flying Helicopter. I Really didnt find this one very interesting so I would rate this one my least favorite one. As you build this typical project you need to have good skills to create one of these indoor items. These are not motor powered but they are battery powered. This didn't catch my eye nor attention but I had to research it. Well to me it dpesn't look fun but it might look fun to someone else. I think its kinda sort of time consuming all depending on how long you work on it during the day. Nothing to hard to build but it isn't easy as well. A thinking project is basically what this is because you have to think which part would be great for the item. As always you never know how fun or boring something is unless you try it.
How To Make A Flying Micro Flying Robot
This one is about a flying Micro Flying Robot. They use them to seek out survivors when a building collapses, to crawl across surfaces inhospitable to our delicate human meats, and most recently to clean our homes. I found this project very interesting. This one kind of caught my attention but it looks very time consuming to build.These are the things you need to be successful Airframe (lightweight metal or plastic rods), Level (preferably laser-guided), RC or switch circuitry,Power source, High-speed motor(s) and mounts, and Propeller blades (lightweight plastic or similar). I really wouldnt build this myself but it looks fun. Working with a partner would be very balanced. Take your time as you build this type of project. Make sure you have all your materials and extra as well. this is a project you do on your on time because you will need alot of time. This project is a good one to build but like i stated before its very time consuming.

How To Make A Door Alarm #2
This one is about a Burglar Alarm. This alarm system includes dectecting motion as well. I personally think this one is the most important one out of the rest of the alarms i researched. More people should look into getting one of these. Now-A-Days people are just breaking and entering folks homes for no reason so this system is needed. Materials for this particular system are kind of simple but its best if you go to a hardware store to help you out just incase. While reading the article on the system it was just stating facts about the electric circuit and the closed-circuit system. These systems will help catch most of these burglars and keep the crime down hopefully. This was a smart invention and a very needed one. The most important system I researched so far as I stated before.
How To Make A Door Alarm #1
This Door Alarm was for if your siblings keep entering your room without permission then make one. It was very straight forward nothing to hard to do except when you building it if even that. They have pictures up to show you somethings about what it looks like if needed. The materials are simple to so you won't really spend a lot of money. I think us teenagers can really relate to this because we have those brothers and sisters who won't stay out our room. This gives me ideas to build me one because i have these problems. Something easy and very simple to keep the little rugrats out my room. This can be used for anybody when I really think about it. Just not for us teenagers it can go for parents and grandparents. I like this alarm system because i can relate to it very much.

T-Shirt Launcher
3 Video's
Materials
- 2 pieces of 2-inch pressure-graded PVC pip
- 2-inch PVC valve
- 2-inch non-threaded PVC end cap
- Schrader valve
- Bicycle pump
- PVC primer and cement
- Drill and bit
Instructions
- Cut 2 pieces of 2-inch PVC pipe to approximately 3 feet in length. Sand the cut edges until smooth. Attach a 2-inch end cap to one end of one piece of pipe. Do not glue this on.
- Measure down about 1 inch below where the end cap stops. Remove the cap.
- Attach a drill bit that is about the size of a Schrader valve. Take a Schrader valve off an old bike if one can't be found elsewhere. Drill through the PVC pipe where previously marked.
- Apply a fair amount of PVC primer to both the inside and outside of the newly-drilled hole. Add PVC cement to the inside of the hole on the PVC.
- Paint PVC cement on the base of the Schrader valve. Insert it through the PVC pipe hole from the inside going out and hold in place until set; less than a minute should do.
- Rub PVC primer and cement all around the top of the PVC pipe as well as the end cap and reattach the end cap. Turn the pipe with the end cap on the ground and give some pressure until cement sets.
- Connect a PVC valve to the other end of the pipe with PVC primer and cement. Affix the second piece of PVC pipe to the other end of the valve with the fixative agents. Allow the project to dry for at least 24 hours.
- Load the barrel with a tightly-rolled t-shirt. Stick a bicycle pump on the Schrader valve and pump it several times. Fire the t-shirt cannon by opening the PVC valve quickly.

Bad & Good Designs
When making a webpage there are some thins to look at. If you want to have a good webpage make sure that your text is clear. Dont make it to big or to small. Make sure that navigation buttons are clear. Check and see if you have unclear navigation buttons that may go to a random link or check for dead links. Also make sure that links match the color of the page that they link to. There shouldn't be any distracting backgrounds that may interrupt the text. To me my blog doesn't need improvement on the color or the text. Maybe the background needs to be changed but not really because my blog is very clear to read. Also like Ms.Nguyen said don't add the extra graphics so I did as told.

CNC Machines
My module was on CNC Machines. The "CNC" stands for Computer Numerical Control. These machines were built in the 1940's and 1950's. They were created because people felt like buying parts for this machine to make items would be better than paying people to do that. This really didn't leave some people jobless because we still needed people to enter the codes for the machine to start its job. Some of the machines are operated of a computer and others you can operate of its self. Dealing with this module you have to learn codes and know exactly what your doing. If you have no idea how to operate or enter the different codes you will have a very difficult time. Only a few jobs to operate these machines so its very limited. I also read that since the machines are doing a very good job with building and creating that their thinking about making more of them for different uses.
What I've Learned About The Blogging Topic
I've learned that this blog can be a personal diary, daily pulpit, collaborative space, a political soapbox, a breaking-news outlet, a collection of thoughts and a place to keep things organized. Really a blog is just basically a web site where you write stuff on an ongoing basis. In case you didn't know Blogger was launched in 1999. Your blog gives you your own voice on the web. Many people use a blog just to organize their own thoughts and others use it to find information out or gossip. Speaking of gossip and finding information out that connects with people reading your work and people commenting on it as well. Blogger to me is really just another twitter or facebook because they all are used for the same things just different names. If you wanna connect with your friends all they have to do is have a blogger account and you go to the "search" box and look he/she up. This is a good place to get feedback off work that you're working on or completed. You also can upload a photo of yourself that way people can make sure thats you as they comment or send a friend request. If you wanna have blogger on the GO all you have to do is edit your profile and enter your phone number and phone carrier. Provacy is admitted to as you create this blog so certain things you dont want people to see they won't be allowed to.
