These methods help us understand the fluid dynamics of natural and manmade systems. I made this video to compile the sweet videos we've taken over the years. Otherwise they would just be sitting there, you know.

It is a machine that flaps its wings and indicates the amount of lift generated. The data will be useful to determine how the force varies with a changing wing stroke angle, and thus help us design better flying machines.

Download the QuickTime (.mov) file for best quality. 2.97 "Design-a-palooza" was offered for the first time during IAP 2008. The class encouraged students to develop their own design processes through several design challenges. The first challenge asked students to design a device which would protect an egg dropped 21 stories from the top of MIT's Green Building. The device also needed to drop as quickly as possible without compromising the egg. ----- 2.97 Students: Katherine Choi, Matt Ciborowski, David Foster, Andi Gelb, Tylor Hess, Eugene Jang, Petek Saracoglu, Xindi Song, Alex St. Claire, Joshua Velasquez, Nathan Wang 2.97 Teaching Staff: Taylor Roan, Maria Yang, Jasmin Baek, Linda Liu Still Photographer: Helen Tsai Videographer: Joshua Velasquez High-definition footage used in this video is available upon request at no charge for non-profit or educational use.

Take your scrap steel and make something useful. We will go over the basics of forging, filing, heat treatment and polishing. We'll also touch on the fabrication of metal and wooden fittings to complete your sword. Written and directed by Brian Chan All swords shown forged by Brian Chan Music by Seth Friedman 55
