DTM week 3 term 2 year 11
On tuesday I did my materials research and did a small amount of work on my free hand design final. Today i am blooging the stuff we have done over the past week and on friday we plan on doing a two hour practical
Materials justification
Materials justification:
I choose to use aluminium because the brief says that the light must be durable, corrosion resistant, strong and light weight. Aluminium has all these properties and is easy to bend so it should be easy to construct my light frame with. It is also cheap so I will be able to stay inside the $60 budget. Acrylic is my second material. It also has all these properties because it is plastic but it isn’t strong. Luckily the acrylic plastic isn’t being used to be the bulk of my circuit. I plan for it to be the see through space where the light will emit from. I will use aluminium rivets to put my circuit together along with self tapping screws to connect the bottom plate like we did with the template circuit.

Brief for Tony house
My client Dr Tony House owns a holiday house in the Coromandel. He wants self powered lights around his house at night. The light must be self powered, durable against the Coromandel weather, have enough light to light up the poacita and must not exceed the budget of $60. I will be the stakeholder for this project.
