NASA Crane The first project that I chose was the NASA Crane engineering challenge. The purpose of this project was to attempt to create a crane from materials provided‚ but lift the most weight. We also took ratings on how efficient the design was‚ the look of the design‚ and the strength of the design. We first looked at the need of the project. NASA is wanting to‚ in the future‚ bring cranes to the moon to extract different materials. The problem would be getting it there. They need a crane that

our own dreams so much that divorce is now a common word. Peter Meinke’s use of symbols in “The Cranes” gives the impression of being a simple love story of an old couple birdwatching while reminiscing on their life together‚ but in reality reveals the darker components of love. Meinke starts the story focusing on cranes; in particular the whooping crane. “I’ve see enough birds. But whooping cranes‚ they’re rare. Not many left” (Meike 5-6). This is when

Stephen Crane and Gwendolyn Brooks “Do Not Weep Maiden for War Is Kind” a poem by Stephen Crane is written in a way that reveals how war is an atrocious creature through verbal irony. In “The Sonnet-Ballad” by Gwendolyn brooks‚ she portrays death as a flirtatious lady. Both of these authors do an extraordinary job in using imagery and irony to sketch their thoughts about death and war. Through the use of imagery Brooks characterizes the coquettish death and how her loved one was fooled into betraying

Virtual Environment In this study we aim to develop a simulation-based virtual environment that involves the tower crane operations. In the very first step‚ the tool simulates an example of crane lifting operation in a three-dimensional (3D) virtual environment. The environment involves the main features of the simulation such as collision detection technology‚ reality integration and crane operation functions. The main reasons of using these features are to provide a realistic safe workspace for the

Clint Eastwood makes American sniper the number seven on my top favorite movies. I think the story of Chris Kyle is the most powerful U.S military story I ever read and seen. This movie’s about a Texas man who always dreamed of becoming a cowboy and got bored and wanted to join the fight against terrorism. He goes to Iraq and saves US lives with his dangerous accuracy. I think this movie was one of the best military movies ever watch. This movie made me think of All the vets and people in our army

Although both the king and the sniper are two like minded individuals in the sense that they both have the audacity to kill other people without much forethought‚ the sniper is more shown as a soldier fighting for a war just doing what he has to do‚ whereas the king is shown to be just a selfish ruler who does whatever he wants simply because he can and because he thinks it is the best way to go about dealing with all of the criminal justice in the town. The sniper in the story is described as

Crane hooks Today in this report I will explain how the forged hook is better compared to a cast hook. My reasons towards this decision are later discussed throughout this report. Forging is referred to as the shaping of a metal through the use of compressive force; forging can be classified as hot or cold and will be explained later in the report. Casting is referred to as when a liquid metal is poured into a desired mould‚ cooled then removed. Both of these manufacturing processes have

In Liam O’Flaherty’s story‚ The Sniper‚ the Republican sniper is forced to kill those who appear to be his enemies or allies with the enemy‚ thinking that the deaths of those people will change the flow of the war towards the Republican army. Shockingly‚ wars may take away lives of individuals from your own flesh and blood and unfortunately in the book‚ the sniper finds out that one of the victims he has
