Wood is a hard, fibrous material found in trees and woody plants. It has been used for thousands of years for construction and fuel. There are two main types - hardwoods from deciduous trees and softwoods from coniferous trees. Common hardwoods include oak, maple, mahogany and teak which are used for furniture, flooring and construction. Softwoods like pine, fir and cedar are lighter and more porous, used for framing, millwork and paneling. Wood is seasoned to remove moisture and prevent problems when used in construction. Methods include air, solar and microwave seasoning.
This document provides information about various types of wood and timber. It discusses hardwoods which come from broad-leaf deciduous trees like oak. It also discusses softwoods which come from coniferous trees that do not lose their leaves. Softwood is used widely in construction. Manufactured boards like plywood and MDF are also described, which are made from gluing wood layers or fibers together. The document also covers wood properties, classifications, elements of a tree, defects in timber, and uses of different wood types.

1. The document provides instructions for an activity that involves observing the function of a consumer product through non-destructive means before disassembling it. Students are asked to analyze a "Test Rack" device and hypothesize how it operates.
2. The purpose of the Test Rack is to test the safety of electrical cords on electronics by testing the flexibility of the cord ends. It uses pulleys connected to levers that are rotated by a motor to spin electronics and put their cords through flexibility testing.
3. By observing but not taking apart the device, students can guess how it works and identify its mechanical components, like the pulleys and levers, though the inner workings of the motor are hidden.
The document contains several engineering drawings created by students using Autodesk software. The drawings include parts for a cord flexor assembly, such as Cord Flexor Part 1-3, and a wrench. Other drawings show a collar part and section view with dimensions. Each image is labeled with the student name, drawing name, scale, and date.
This document discusses the development of a universal clamping device to reliably attach a cord flexor to different fixtures. It considers using a C-clamp, band clamp, or strap wrench as the basis for the design. The document decides a strap wrench would work best if modified to have a way to attach to fixtures, rotate 90 degrees, and keep the strap tightened while allowing the cord to rotate.
The designers were tasked with improving the reliability of attaching electrical devices to a Cord Flex Tester for Product Safety Inc. They were asked to design a universal clamping device that can securely hold a variety of products like hair dryers and flat irons while allowing the cord to rotate. The clamp must attach to the current fixture portably and universally.
The document is a product disassembly chart for a cord flexor. It lists 5 parts of the flexor including the base, extension, holders, clamp, and bolts. For each part it provides the quantity, dimensions, function, material, texture/finish, interactions with other parts, and general notes. The flexor attaches a cord to a fixture and is made of various metal parts, including a base, extension to hold parts, holders for the cord end, a clamp to grip the holders, and bolts to hold everything in place.
This document contains a schedule listing various tasks and their planned dates of completion ranging from April 26th to May 19th. It includes activities like disassembly, mass properties analysis, sketches, research, drawings, models, and final sketches to be finished on different dates throughout that time period.
The document contains technical drawings for parts of a rocking chair including the back, seat, seat support, and side pieces. The drawings were produced by Autodesk educational software and include dimensions, tolerances, titles, and dates. An assembly drawing brings together the individual parts in an exploded view diagram and lists them in a parts table with descriptions.
The document provides a decision matrix to evaluate 4 rocking chair design ideas based on criteria including complexity, development time, materials used, longevity, sturdiness, and rockability. Idea 3 scored the highest with a total of 23 points, as it was rated 5 for rockability and longevity and 3 for complexity, development time, and materials. Idea 1 scored the lowest with a total of 17 points.
The document outlines an activity for students to establish team norms to guide their behavior and work processes. It instructs students to discuss and agree on norms covering codes of conduct, communication protocols, file management, decision making, and conflict resolution. Students are asked to assign roles for compiling documents, drawings, prototyping, and collaborating. They must document the agreed upon norms and roles in a Word document with signatures to finalize the agreement.
The document describes 10 tests of different floatable foundation designs. In the tests, researchers evaluated how palettes and bottles alone or combined held up under various weights, finding that a design with a palette and bottles could support weights of up to 72 pounds while staying afloat, but 100 pounds caused it to sink. The tests were conducted by John Tobias, Brian Jestice, Anthony Cairns, and Diane Kohlin to determine the viability of different floatable foundation options.
The document describes 10 tests of different floatable foundation designs. In the tests, researchers evaluated how well a palette and plastic bottles held themselves up individually and together under varying weights of up to 100 pounds. They found that a design with a palette and bottles could support weights of up to 72 pounds while staying afloat, but a weight of 100 pounds caused it to sink below the surface.

The document provides information about recycling programs and acceptable recyclable materials in South Africa. It details which fiber materials, glass, metals, plastics, and batteries can be recycled through curbside pickup and drop-off locations. Certain items like antifreeze and motor oil containers over 5 gallons must be taken to staffed recycling centers. Styrofoam is not accepted in any recycling programs. The recycling guidelines will help inform the material selection for the floating housing prototypes.
Our team aims to create a floating home made entirely from recyclable materials to provide shelter during flooding. The dwelling will float when floodwaters rise in an area. The designers are John Tobias, Brian Jestice, Anthony Cairns, and Diane Kohlin.
The document contains technical drawings for three projects - a pallet, 2 liter bottle, and eco project assembly - created by a student using Autodesk educational software. Each drawing page displays the student name, drawing name, scale, and date. All drawings are labeled as having been produced by Autodesk educational software.
The Floatable Foundation Design Brief outlines a project by Hope Floats Initiative to design a floating foundation made primarily of recyclable materials to provide housing for people in the Republic of South Africa that floods. The designers will test different recyclable materials to determine which provides the greatest buoyancy and then design a dwelling using that material to provide the plans and materials to those in need.
The document presents a decision matrix comparing three options for a floating dwelling: an air mattress, 2-liter bottles, and plastic bags. The air mattress scores highest overall with 24 points, followed by 2-liter bottles with 25 points, and plastic bags with 19 points. The criteria assessed include complexity, development time, materials used, longevity, buoyancy effectiveness, and cost effectiveness.
