Floating House Eco-Project By: Tyler Murphy, Clayton Cox and Tony Sorrentino
Problem Develop a new way to help keep houses afloat in flood conditions. Must be made from recycled materials.
Approach Water bottles to provide buoyancy Duct tape and string to hold the water bottles together
Constraints Must be able to hold 45 lbs securely afloat Made from 75% recycled materials Have little or no cost to build
Location Egypt The Nile runs through it Has experienced a lot of flooding
Materials 1 Cardboard box 67 Water bottles Duct Tape String Garbage bag
Construction House Represented by the box Water bottles provide the ability for the house to float How much can one water bottle hold? House
Calculations Found out that 1 water bottle holds about 16.9 mL of air. We then found 1 mL of air supports up to about 32 grams of weight, or 1.12 ounces. 1.12 oz x 16.9= 18.928 or about 19 ounces or 1.2 lbs So 1 water bottle holds about 1.2 lbs
