Week 7/Break: 30 Experiments

 Circuit experiments...

One LED attached to a 3V battery

Piled on Heaps of LEDs 

Connected two LEDS with copper wire. Had to use a 9V battery because the LEDs did not light up on the 3V

Applying one end of the wire to the 3V battery in a switch like fashion

Material Experiments...

Hogwarts Castle outline. Cut from cardboard. Would be done with a laser cutter

LED torch shone through outline to generate a light and shadow image on wall 

Folding up elements such as qudditch hoops. Cut pitch lines. Would all be done on the laser cutter

LED torch light cast on qudditch hoops to create an image on the wall

Layering up label stickers to generate different thicknesses. When light shines through areas of light and dark can be seen

Hogwarts Express. This can be used to create depth in an image instead of it just being a silhouette. Would use the vinyl cutter

Adding colour using green cellophane. But still having a design to be seen

LED torch light shone through cellophane generating green shadow

Adding texture to an image using tissue paper with a design to be illuminated

LED torch light shone through tissue paper showing texture and design

Using multiple coloured cellophane to generate the Hogwarts Crest 

LED torch light shone through Crest onto wall

LED torch light shone through felt to see texture

LED through colourless acrylic 

LED through plastic bag

LED through fabric. Shows the texture of the fabric quite nicely

LED through the corrugate of corrugated cardboard

LED through my finger

LED through paper

LED through glass

LED through water in a water bottle

LED through reflective material

LED through plywood. Didn't work at all. Plywood to thick

LED through cuts in plywood. Illuminates the outline

LED through the black plastic for the UP Printers in the Fablab. Doesn't glow. Can't see light through it

LED through clear translucent plastic for the UP Printers in the Fablab. Glows
