Hello, I'm Ben from Hand of Poseidon
and this year with help from our mentor at ADCO Manufacturing
we built a wave tank to help us research for our project
we used an Atwood Machine which is just a pulley,
as long as the weights are heavier on this side
the plate and whatever water is on top of it will come up.
If the wave travels down the tank it will get to our simulated beach area.
It will slow down, crest a bit, and then hit our test buildings.
They are just attached to this little lego plate,
and the plate is taped onto the beach.
I'm going to show you how that works.
I'm going to do it again, and this time look closely buildings,
and the way the water is flowing.
You will notice that the force is mostly in and out from the beach.
We plan on having the wave tank in the amphitheater
during the championship so you can go there and try things out.
