Stirling motor





Making a STIRLING motor is quite tricky. One of our STEM stars is trying to put a working model together, with occasional assistance.

Making a steady hand game





Easy to make little project - can be made from a kit - basic electrical competence - can be extended easily. A good project for STEM students to lead a younger Y7 class.

Boats - creating mould for vac forming

We are making a mould to use to make a boat hull. This will be used to build two different boats. One submarine motor powered and one conventional screw propeller. We will look at the effect the different shapes have on timings.

Beginning boat design - bow shapes.

Trough set up to test how long a square ended boat took to cover a set distance. Times were 1.9 seconds average. After front was cut to provide a boat shape the time reduced to 1.12 seconds.
Project to continue.
