I had fun experimenting with the hinge motion by initially taping the wings closer to the center of the body of the bird and realized I did not get enough motion this way. I then moved them directly on the edge of the bag and was able to create an adequate flapping motion. In addition to altering the wings, I was also able to play around with the speed at which I was able to make the wings flap. I was most satisfied with the result achieved when I put in quick, short breaths into the straw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In further iterations, I would love to cut the bag out in different shapes and sizes; what if the bag was cut larger horizontally? Will the wings flap more dramatically? What if I cut the bag in the shape of a bird&#8217;s body? Will I achieve the same results while making the design more realistic? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8591.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#e90757\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Sample 2:<\/span> Children&#8217;s Piano<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For my second sample, I experimented with multiple pieces of cardboard in a variety of colors. At first, I had a vision of 10 &#8220;fingers&#8221; sticking off the edge of the long, thin plastic bag because I was curious about how it would move. In my imagination, as I blew air into the bag slowly, each finger would prop up one by one. But I found out that this was not the case and I had attached too many pieces of cardboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pivoting, I kept on 5 pieces of cardboard, each one a different color. Imagining a piano beneath the sample, each finger would be able to press a different combination of the keys beneath it when the user would squeeze different parts of the bag. I felt as if this resembled a children&#8217;s beginner piano, making it a playful and fun experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8594-1.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sample 3: <span style=\"color:#179f20\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Angry Crocidile <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, for my third sample, I found some green Play-Doh and was able to create a figurine of a crocodile with a hinged mouth. Inspired by the Sticky Actuators video that a classmate shared from Assignment 1, I decided to create a pneumatic hinge version of the clay frog. At first, I struggled with the shape of the bag; I made it way too wide and it produced too much force underneath the crocodile&#8217;s mouth. I then reshaped the bag to be a very thin shape and taped a cardboard &#8220;tongue&#8221; to the end of the bag. Before placing the bag inside the crocodile&#8217;s mouth, I experimented with just the bag and the tongue to see if I could get a flapping motion (similar to Sample 1) out of the tongue. By taping the tongue as close to the edge of the bag as possible, I was able to create a miniaturized flap. I then placed the tongue mechanism inside the crocodile and was able to achieve something similar to what I was imagining. Being that the top portion of the crocodile&#8217;s head was heavy, the tongue flap was not the same motion as it was earlier. I also struggled with the Play-Doh falling apart, so I experimented with a slower breathing motion into the straw. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a future iteration, I would like to obtain more Play-Doh and see if I can make a more structured and developed crocodile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8599.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8597-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5751\" width=\"202\" height=\"263\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8601-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5752\" width=\"197\" height=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8601-edited.jpg 1106w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8601-edited-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8601-edited-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8601-edited-973x1298.jpg 973w, https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/IMG_8601-edited-508x677.jpg 508w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 197px) 100vw, 197px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>*Note: I apologize for filming vertically, I did not realize until I cleaned up my work that it would be better to film horizontally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assignment 2: Michelle Murray 1\/25\/22 Sample 1: Bird&#8217;s Life Using a square-shaped bag for the &#8220;bird&#8217;s body&#8221; and two pieces of cardboard cut into &#8220;wings,&#8221; I was able&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":103,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5745"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/103"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5745"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5745\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5884,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5745\/revisions\/5884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/16-376\/s2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
