  Hypothesis Testing Group members:  Nander (Iron Man) Tzer (Thor) Ashwati (Captain America) Daryl (Hulk) Nikkisha (me, Black Widow) Full factorial data Fractional factorial data Iron Man to use Run 2 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 2 from FULL factorial. Thor will use Run 4 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 4 from FULL factorial. Captain America will use Run 5 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 5 from FULL factorial. Hulk will use Run 4 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 4 from FULL factorial. Black Widow (me) will use Run 7 from FRACTIONAL factorial and Run 7 from FULL factorial. The QUESTION The catapult (the ones that were used in the DOE practical) manufacturer needs to determine the consistency of the products they have manufactured. Therefore they want to determine whether CATAPULT A produces the same flying distance of projectile as that of CATAPULT B.   Scope of the test The human factor is assumed to be negligi...

Self-Sterilizing Door Handle

Garage Engineer's Prototype Hello, welcome back to my blog! I will be sharing with you what my group created and our journey. :D Our team was assigned to create a self-sanitizing door handle. It was truly a challenging task but we were determined especially after researching the statistics for the number of deaths from Covid-19 which was a staggering toll of 6 million. This pandemic/endemic truly inspired us to come up with a successful prototype shown above. Let us see how did we create this! Planning Firstly, we did our research about this self-sanitizing door handle which was created by University students. This was a truly aesthetically pleasing yet a very functional door handle. This door handle is made out of glass to allow UV light to pass through as UV light has its own anti-microbial properties. This door handle also has an photocatalytic coating made of titanium dioxide and a generator that converts kinetic energy into light energy. We were truly intrigued and inspired by...
