11/09/2019 - Last day of impact project

Today was our last session of impact project. We will both not be here on Friday. On Sunday we presented our impact project at the open day. We had our science board, which had the engine reassembly process on it, the engine we reassembled, the Stirling engine and the model four-stroke engine. We ran the Stirling engine to show the piston moving up and down. We answered all the questions people had. We also printed the manual and put it in a folder so people could read through it. We also printed our presentation so that people could read about our impact on the community and why we chose this project. Today we made sure we fully finished the process and the manual. We made sure everything was finished and in the right place. We will not be presenting on Friday since we will not be here.

06/09/2019

Today we got our presentation ready for Sunday. We printed our completed presentation slideshow and put it in a folder so people can read through it. We also finished the manual and printed it out and put it in a folder. We did this so that people can read through our manual when the look at our presentation. We also printed out the process and put it on the science board. We brought the engine to school so people can see the reassembled finished product. We also got a model four-stroke engine from the woodwork room that we used the last term. This has a moving piston and we can show people the piston moving up and down. We also got the Stirling engine out so that we can have that running and people can see it working. We have finished everything we wanted. The engine does not start due to a few broken and missing parts. We put the lawnmower engine we reassembled on a stand so the drive shaft can stick through.

04/09/2019 - Wednesday

Today we worked on the engine reassembly process. Over the weekend we almost completely reassembled the engine. We put all the parts on and had none left over except for a few covers which are not needed. We also tested if our engine is working by testing the spark. We unplugged the spark plug and then span the flywheel. When we did the is we got some spark. We will put some oil in the engine. We also got a fuel can and we need to build a stand so when we try to start the engine the driveshaft which is on the bottom of the engine can spin. We also worked on our presentation slideshow which we added things like what we achieved and what challenges we faced. On Friday we are going to start putting things on our science board. We are also going to work and hopefully finish the manual. We are going to put the photos and short descriptions from the engine disassembly manual on the board so people can look at the parts and see what they are and what they do.

30/08/2019

Today we created our presentation slideshow. This has things like the impact on the community, what we have learnt and the challenges we have faced. We also added what we have reassembled to the process and manual. Over the weekend we plan to fully reassemble the manual so next week we can add the photos and information to the manual and process. We also got a science board so we can get it ready for the presentation next Sunday.

28/08/2019 - Wednesday

Today we worked on the engine reassembly process and the manual. We added photos of the parts we have put on the engine. We have put on the flywheel, cylinder head, spark plug and ignition coil on Friday we are going to continue working on the manual and process. We are also going to create our presentation slideshow. We plan to finish the engine over the weekend so we can finish the manual and process and make our presentation board.

23/08/2019

Today we updated the engine reassembly manual and the engine reassembly manual we added the parts that Luca assembled over the weekend. We also measured the RPS and RPM of the Stirling engine that we tested last week Friday. We also added photos of the grease Luca used for the gaskets. We rang Luca's Dad Mike to ask what a part was called o we could write about it in the manual and use the correct name. On Wednesday we are going to create the presentation slideshow ad continue updating the manual and process.

21/08/2019 - Wednesday

Today I worked on the engine reassembly manual and process. I photos and descriptions of what the part is to the process. I then explained how to put the part back on in the Manual. I added the sizes of the bolts and the tools required to reattach the certain part. There was a part that I did not know the name of so I will ask Luca to ask his Dad what that part is called. I will also ask Luca to send me a photo of the gasket grease he used so I can add it to the manual so people can see what the grease looks like. When I figure out what the part is called I will add it's information onto the process and manual hopefully on Friday. I added a few photos and a video of the Stirling engine that we tested on Friday. On Friday we are going to use the slow-motion video of the engine to try and work out the RPS (revolutions/rotations per second) of the Stirling engine. We will also continue to update the process and manual. We will also create our presentation slideshow. We hope to get the engine fully reassembled by Friday next week.

16/08/2019

Today we continued working on the reassembly process and manual. We also assembled the Stirling engine. We did a few tests with it. We tested it without the light and it worked. We then tested it again and the LED light glowed different colours at different times. We also tested the volts with the voltmeter and the amps with the amp meter. We measured them both at the same time and it and the highest voltage we got was 3.9 volts and the highest amps we got was 0.1. We also videoed it in slow motion with a timer next to it and on Wednesday we are going to the RPM of the Stirling engine. Luca is also going to work on the engine over the weekend and on Wednesday and friday, we are going to document it.

14/08/2019

Today we worked on the engine reassembly process. We uploaded the photos of all the parts Luca reassembled over the weekend. We also worked on the manual. We used the feedback we got from a survey last term to help us improve the manual so we added images so people could see what the part looks like and how it fits into the engine. We also finished the kahoot we started making last week. We put the link for this on the extra information slideshow.

09/08/2019

Today we added a couple of slides to the extra information slideshow. We made one about the history of the internal combustion engine that explains who invented it and reworked it. The other one has all of the different engine types we know on it. I also created a kahoot about engines so that people can pay it and learn more about engines. It has multiple questions about engines. Over the weekend Luca is going to work on reassembling the engine and then next week we will put all the photos on the manual and process.

07/08/2019

Today we create a slide about the difference between an internal and an external combustion engine on the extra information slideshow. We looked at different examples of the internal and external engine. We also spent a bit of time looking at the Stirling engine. The piston and piston rings arrived and they fit inside the cylinder but the piston is slightly shorter than the old one so we are concerned the engine might not get enough compression. So at some point, this week or next week Luca's Dad will go to the repair shop and see if it matters. if it doesn't we will continue the reassembly.

02/08/2019 - Stirling engine

Today we researched the Stirling engine. We added a slide on extra information to explain what e found out. We also added things to the things that went wrong slide on extra information. We also found a Stirling engine experiment that involves a syringe, a test tube, marbles and a candle that shows how a Stirling engine works. We are also going to get a model of a Stirling engine at some point and then we will look at that and take photos and video it working. We finally got the parts so we can start to reassemble the engine again. Over the weekend Luca will try to work on the engine.

31/07/2019 - Wednesday

Today we created a slide on our extra information slide about things we have learnt while we were trying to reassemble our engine. We are running out of things to do. We are still waiting for parts to arrive. It is becoming increasingly frustrating that we have to keep waiting for parts. There is not much we can do while we are waiting. We can not do the manual test we want to do and the main thing is we can not continue reassembling the engine. We can not do very much on the reassembly until it arrives. After this part arrives we should be able to do everything. On Friday if the arts have arrived we will plan what we will do over the weekend. If the parts have not arrived I am not really sure what we can do. We may start our presentation. We may also research the Stirling engine. 

26/07/2019

Today we created a slideshow that has the differences between a four-stroke engine a two-stroke engine and a rotary engine. We did a slide on each of them and then a comparison. We also made a slide on the extra information slideshow about all the things have gone wrong during this project. We also added some more to the engine reassembly process. We are still waiting for the different piston rings to arrive. We are going to keep the engine at Luca's house and then we will do all the documentation at school. We can not do much until the piston rings arrive. We might enter the science and technology fair but it depends if we get the engine reassembled in time for it.

24/07/2019 What we did in the holidays

During the holidays we used a wire wheel on the bench grinder t get rid of gunk on the intake and exhaust valves we then applied valve grind paste, this got rid of imperfections and gaps that could affect performance.  We also took off the old piston rings and used the cylinder hone to grind the cylinder. But we ran into a problem. The piston rings we ordered did not fit around our piston. When we went to ynots to see what we should do they said we may have to buy a whole new piston to get the rings. We also tried to get rid of the snapped piece of the screw that was stuck.  We would not have normally bothered with this but the screw was right where the cylinder is and it might affect the compression if that bolt is not there. We have started uploading photos and explanations on the engine reassembly process.

05/07/2019 - Last Day Of Term

Today we went to the workshop and packed up the engine and all the separate parts to take it home for the holidays. We also added a slide to the extra information that explains what a cylinder hone is and what it looks like. We have done quite a bit this term. including ordering all the parts we needed. This term we also learnt a lot like we learnt about the three different piston rings. We also made a list of all the things we want to do in the holidays in the extra information slide. When we get back after the holidays we will put all the things we did over the holidays on the engine reassembly process and the manual. Today we also spent some time scraping the engine so we can replace the head gasket.

03/07/2019

Today we responded to the survey. We talked about what changes we will make to the manual. We also started writing the manual we talked about the valves and the piston. We also planned what work we will do over the holidays. We also started organising our manual test. On Friday we will put the engine and parts in a container so we can take them home. After the holidays we will do the manual test. Which is where our friend will use our old engine disassembly manual to take a part of our engine. We hope that the test will take less than one block. We will do the practical things over the holidays and then when the term starts again we will put all of the information on the slide show. We also wrote some feedback question so we can ask our friend about the manual.

28/06/2019 - taking Valves out

Today we looked through all the responses to our survey, there were sixteen in total. We looked at how many people got questions right. Most people got the multiple choice questions right but when we asked them to name a part of the engine not many people got those right. We put the information on the extra information slideshow. We have decided that we will add some images to the manual so people can see what the part actually looks like. This should make the manual easier to understand since people don't seem to know what the parts look like. We also went to the workshop in block three. We took the intake and exhaust valves back out. This was a step back. Our engine is still fully disassembled. Next week Mike Vita may come in so that we can use the cylinder hone to get rid of the lip on the cylinder. We will definitely do some work over the holidays. We will get as much work as possible done over the holidays. if this does not happen next week we will use the cylinder hone and get rid of the lip, replace the piston rings, but the paste on the valves, clean all the surfaces so we can replace the gaskets, and reassemble some of the parts. Next week we will probably start cleaning the surface and if Mike Vita can come in we will get rid of the lip. 


This is a cylinder hone                                                                                           Piston rings

26/06/2019 - Wednesday

Today we read through the six responses on the survey and every person so far got the first question right. Ms Cooney sent the questions to both our verticals so we are hoping to get more responses. We also got the parts. The gaskets and piston rings arrived. On Friday we will go and clean the engine so that we can replace the gaskets. Mike Vita may come in on Friday. If he does we will probably replace the piston rings. He also may bring a cylinder hone. We will use this to get rid of the small lip above the piston in the cylinder. As well as sending the survey to our verticals Luca and I both sent it to a few of our friends. We also decided that if Mike Vita is not available Luca will take the engine and some of the parts home. He will photograph everything. We will add the parts we put back on onto the engine disassembly process after the holidays. If mike Vita is available Luca may not have to take the engine home.

Taking the piston back out 21/06/2019

Today we took the piston back out. We did this because one of the parts we have to replace is the piston rings. We have to take the piston out so we can replace them. The parts have still not arrived but we hope they will arrive by next Wednesday. We also created a survey to test people engine knowledge. The questions were things like a photo and asking what it was. When the parts arrive we will continue the reassembly. On Wednesday if the parts have arrived we will continue the reassembly. We will use the responses to help us make our manual helpful.

What parts we ordered 19/06/2019

Today we created a slideshow called extra information. On this, we put what help we got from Mike Vita and the parts he ordered so that we can get the engine going again. The parts we are getting are new piston rings, spark plug, and some of the gaskets. We also added our impact on the community on that slideshow. On Friday we are going to take the piston back out so when they arrive we can put the piston rings back in. We will also clean some of the parts MIke Vita told us two. We also might try to get the torn piece of the screw out of the hole it is stuck in.

14/06/2019 Finding what parts need to be replaced

Today Mike Vita Luca's dad came to school to help us figure out what parts we would need to replace to get the engine to work. The reason he came is because he studied to become a mechanic so he is an expert. Yesterday he went to ynot repairs and spoke to the person who gave us the lawn mower engine. He could not quite remember the model number so while Mike was here at school he took a photo of the model number on the engine so that he can show the person at ynot's. The parts we need to get replaced are the piston rings, some of the gaskets and the spark plug. He also said we need to give some of the components a really good clean. We also showed him the four and two-stroke, engine models. Seeing this reminded us to write up the difference. On the engine parts slideshow, we added a slide that explains the difference between a four-stroke and two-stroke engine. We also asked Jeroen if he would test our manual in a couple of weeks when we have put enough things back in that he can actually take off something. We will see if we can get the parts in Gisborne and if we can hopefully get them by Wednesday. If we can not get them within a reasonable time then we will just continue the reassembly.

12/06/2019 Deciding if we are going to get the engine running

Today we spent some time deciding if we are going to get the engine running. The problem is until we decide everything gets put on hold. We can not keep reassembling the engine because if we do and then we decide to replace the piston rings we would have to reassemble the whole thing. My Dad is unable to go to town for the next week so Luca will talk to his Dad tonight and see what they can do. If they can not get the parts we will not do it. The chances of us getting the parts and getting the engine going are unlikely. We are not sure if we will be able to get the parts in Gisborne or how much they will cost. And while we are trying to figure this all out we still can not continue reassembling the engine. So if we do not get the parts in the next two weeks we will not do it. We will ask Jeroen if he will help us test our old manual when we have enough parts on that he can actually try to disassemble some of the parts. We will reassemble all the complicated, fragile, important parts.

7/06/2019 Stem B Putting Piston Back In

Today we spent some time creating a google drawing that has a list of some of the people we may ask to test our manual by disassembling parts of the engine. We went to the workshop and while we were there we put the piston back in. It was very difficult to put back in it required three people. We had to use screwdrivers to push the three rings in so that the piston would fit inside the combustion chamber. While two people were using screwdrivers to push the rings one of us would use the end of a screwdriver and gently hit the top of the piston so that it would slide back in. We also sprayed some silicone spray around the piston and combustion chamber to make it slide more easily. While we were doing this one of the rings broke because it was old and brittle. Also, the spring inside the ring was not in the correct place so we had to use a screwdriver to get the spring back in the right place. We also learned about the purpose of the three rings which we wrote about in the engine parts stem B slideshow in our Stem B google drive.  Mr. Venter also told us that if we wanted to get the engine working we would have to replace the piston rings and a few gaskets. So over the weekend we will both talk to our parents and decide if we will bother replacing the parts. We will go to the shop where we got the lawnmower engine to see if they have the parts and how much they cost. If they do not have the parts or they are too expensive we will just assemble it and not get it working. But we need to do this soon because we can't put any more parts on because then we will have to reassemble the whole thing again to put the gasket and other things back in. We also wrote some questions for the people who will test our manual for feedback on the Google drawing with the names.

Stem B 5/06/2019 Putting intake and exhaust valves back on

Today we updated our engine parts slideshow we added the parts we have learnt about while we disassembled it. We also went to the workshop and put the intake and exhaust valves back on the one cylinder lawn more engine. It took a while because we accidentally put the exhaust valve in the place of the intake valve so we had to change them around. On Friday we are going to put the piston back in the engine. We are going to but all the components from the engine block back in and then we will let the people testing our manual disassemble some of the parts outside the engine block.

Stem B 31/05/2019 First Day

Today we updated our proposal. We also had a discussion with Miss Haag about how to improve our manual. Things like adding photos with a white background so they look similar. We also talked about reassembling some parts of the engine and then asking two people one with some engine interest and one with no experience, to disassemble some parts of the lawn mower engine using our manual. We will then ask for their feedback on if the manual was easy to understand and what we can change. Next week we will reassemble some of the parts so that the people can test the manual.

22/05/2019 Finishing Presentation

Today we finished the presentation slideshow. We printed it and we will put it in a folder so people can read through it. We also went through the engine disassembly process and made sure we had everything ready for Thursday. We will have the Manual and the presentation on paper so people can read through them. We will have the process with all the photos on our laptops and also have the engine parts slideshow on the laptops which has all the different part son an engine. At the presentation we will three the four stroke model engine, the empty engine shell and some parts like the piston, crankshaft etc.

17/05/2019 Printing manual

Today we printed the engine disassembly manual. we took a folder and then put the pieces of paper inside the folder. We will put this on the table at presentation so people can read through it. We also went to the work shop and spent some more time cleaning the four strokes model engine. We will show this at the presentation so people can understand how engines work. We also spent some more time cleaning the actual engine. We also took the intake and exhaust valves back out so that we can have an empty shell for the presentation. We will start the reassembly next term. We will show the photos of the process on our laptops.

15/05/2019 cleaning model engine

Today we finished the manual and it is ready to print. We also  worked on our presentation. WE also went to the workshop and asked Mr. Venter if we could use a four stroke model engine for our presentation and he said yes so we spent some time trying to clean it since it was quite dusty. We will use that at the presentation to show people how the four strokes work and how the piston moves up and down and the valves open and close. We will also print the manual and have that there for the presentation. We will have our presentation slideshow on our laptops as well.

8/05/2019 taking picture

Today we went to the workshop and then took all the parts out of their bags and but them on a table and took a photo of it. We made sure we had all the parts and cleaned a couple of the parts. We also started writing some things on the Presentation. We also started planning somethings we are going to do for presentation. On Friday we will  start reassembling the engine and continue working on the presentation we will also print the manual.

03/05/2019 planning presentation and cleaning engine

Today we went through the engine disassembly Manual and the engine disassembly process to make sure they were up to date and finished. We then created the engine reassembly process and the engine reassembly manual. We also created a presentation slide show that talked about things like what problems we faced and why we chose this project. We also spent a lot of time cleaning the engine. We want to make sure it is clean before we start reassembling it and before the presentation. We are going to print the manual so that people can read through it at the presentation. We are also going to start reassembling the engine. We will try to reassemble the engine so that people can see the piston move up and down. If we can not we will probably use one of the engine models.

1/05/2019 Finishing manual

Last term we finished disassembling the engine so today the first Wednesday back after the holiday we updated the manual and the process. For the presentation We are going ho print the Engine Disassembly Manual so that people can read through it and it will be part of our impact on the community. We will also show the engine disassembly process on our laptops at the presentation so that people can read through it and see what each part is and what they do. We also uploaded photos where they were missing and made sure we had everything to do with the disassembly of the engine up to date. We will start to rebuild the engine on Friday or next week.

12/04/2019 Taking off the valves

Today we took off the valves and springs. Mr Venter did the first one and then we spent about ten to fifteen minutes doing that we then cleaned the engine. We also took some more photos and added some things onto the manual and process.

10/04/2019 Working on the manual

Today we went to the woodwork room to take photos and measure screws and bolts. Once we had done that we went back to class and started working on the manual. We also worked on the engine disassembly manual and uploaded photos and wrote a small blurb on what was happening. The things we added onto the manual include the oil transfer cover, the valve spring cover, the crank case cover, the piston, the cam shaft and the crank shaft.

5/04/2019 taking the piston out

Today we took off the crank shaft gear. We also took off the camshaft and crankshaft and cam followers. After that we loosened the connecting rod and were ready to take the piston out. But there was a fire drill and we had to wait until after lunch. After lunch we attempted to take the piston out but the piston had smoothed the inside of the cylinder and the top had made a ridge and we were really struggling to get it out. We tried using a screwdriver, a hammer, and pliers but it wasn't working. So Mr Venter just knocked it out using brute force. We also spent some time cleaning the piston and other parts. We only have the intake and exhaust valves left to remove.

3/04/2019 opening the engine block

Today we removed seven screws to get into the engine block. We took lots of photos of the inside of the engine. It was full of oil so we spent some time cleaning oil out of the engine. We also cleaned the oil off the crank cover case. We also took off the oil thrower. it makes oil travel around the engine block. It flicks it around the engine.  We cleaned that and made sure it was not damaged. The gasket broke but we will jut place it back in place once we get to rebuilding it. We also learnt that when the engine is on the power stroke the mark on the camshaft and the crankshaft have to be at the same place.

29/03/2019 taking off covers

Today we took of another two parts of the engine we took off the oil transfer cover which in were the oil travels around the engine. We also took of the valve spring cover. There was also an oil leak. We spent some time cleaning the engine and making sure we got some of the oil out of the hole. (My phone was not working so photos did upload.)

27/03/2019 updating manual

Today we spent most of the time working on the Manual. we added how to take off the cylinder head and the fly wheel. And on the engine disassembly process we talked about snapping one of the screws. We also went to the woodwork room and measured the screws so we could explain what size spanner or ratchet head to use. On Friday we are going to continue working on the engine.

22/03/2019

Today we spent some time cleaning grime off the engine. It was very dirty and we used screwdrivers to scrape it off. We also took of the cylinder head. While we were taking it off one of the screws was very tight and was refusing to move. But after a few attempts we got it out but it had snapped clean in half. We also spent some time cleaning the cylinder head. We also took the head gasket off and spent some time cleaning them. We could now see the piston and combustion chamber. We also cleaned some oil out of the combustion chamber and cleaned the piston. We also took the flywheel off. We took the big bolt holding it off then we used two hammers and hit the flywheel off. Next week we are going to film the four strokes and valves on our engine and upload them.

20/03/2019

Today we spent the afternoon catching up and making sure that all our paperwork was up to date. We spent some time on the engine disassembly manual and made sure that we had instructions on how to remove each part of the engine we had taken off. We also added links for our work onto workspace. We looked through the photos we took and started to explain how to remove the carburetor. We learnt a new part of the engine the governor arm. it is the rod that is attached by a spring to the carburetor.

15/03/2019 Creating the engine disassembly manual

Today we spent most of the time doing paperwork. We created our engine disassembly slideshow. On it we explain how to disassemble the different parts of the engine. We explain where the screws are placed and what size  spanner or ratchet head you need to undo. We also explained where every thing was placed. To measure the screws we used the Vernier caliber. it is a tool that gives the most exact measurement of a screw/ bolt in millimetres. We also started cleaning the engine in block three but as we cleaned it some oil spilled out of the engine. We had to spent the last part of the time in the woodwork room cleaning up the oil and attempting to get rid of the majority of it. We also used a screw driver to scrape some of the dirt of the engine. We spent most of the time in the woodwork room taking photos and measuring the screws and writing the manual.

13/03/2019 Working on the engine disassembly process

Today we did not go into the workshop because it is Wednesday and we only have one block. So we spent some time working on the engine disassembly process. We started to upload photos of the parts that we had taken of the engine. But my phone was not working and the emails were not going through, so we had to take Luca's phone and go to the woodwork room and re-take some of the photos. Also while we were in the woodwork room we checked all the zip lock bags and made sure that we had got the names of the parts right. When we had the photos we uploaded them to the slideshow. We also went through and made sure all of our plans and reflections are up to date. On Friday we will continue to work on the engine. 

8/03/2019 taking of the exhaust and carburator

Today we took of the carburetor, exhaust, intake pipe and spark coil it was very good progress into disassembling the engine. We also learnt more about the engine and how it worked. When we took the exhaust of it had some water/oil inside it, so we emptied that. When we took the intake tube out we could see some parts inside the engine.

Reflection 1/03/2019 looking at alternator and learning the four strokes.

Today Luca brought in an alternator for us to look at and maybe take apart. but the alternator had been sitting for 20 years and we were unable to start taking it apart. We also looked at a four stroke engine that had been opened so you could look at it. You could see the piston go up and down and the valves open and close. We you could also see the flywheel and how a spark plug would get it's electricity. We also learnt the four strokes of a four stroke engine. The intake stroke, the compression stroke, the power stroke and the exhaust stroke. We also learnt how a spark plug gets it's electricity. We also looked at a two stroke engine for interest. Luca also accidentally took a screw out of the pulley starter and a coil fell out so we had to spend some time trying to get that back in it. I also filmed while Luca span the crankshaft to show how the piston moved up and down. I also filmed the valves going up and down. Next week we are going to continue working on the push lawn mower engine.

27/02/2019 starting to take the engine apart

Today we started to take the engine apart we removed the air filter cover. We removed the top cover and dip stick. We learned how to use the ratchet and took photos of the engine. When we removed the oil cap we found that the tank was full of oil. So we worked around school and found a container to pour the oil into. we emptied the oil and since it was a Wednesday we only had one block.

22/02/2019 Photographing engine and finishing engine part slideshow

Today we brought the engine to school and put it inside a room in the woodwork room. In second block we went and tidied our work bench and put the engine on two blocks on it. We took pictures of each side of the engine. We spent the rest of the time in the classroom finishing our engine parts slide, which is a slideshow where we listed all the engine parts we know. We put a picture of each item we knew and then described how it worked. We also created a slide show called engine disassembly process. We put all the photos of the engine on that slide show. We also tried to access a website that had a manual for our engine but their was a problem with the website. Next week we are going to start working on the engine, Luca is going to bring in an old alternator that we are going to examine and photograph.

20/02/2019 researching different parts of the engine

Today we continued to research the different parts of the engine and explained what each part was on our engine parts slide show. we also added a slide that shows the four different main engine banks. We made a list of all the different engine parts we know. We have created a different slide for each part on the engine parts slideshow. We are still waiting for the person to get us the engine. 

15/02/2019 starting to list different engine parts

Today we started to list the main parts of an engine we started to research the different ones we put a photo on each slide to show what the part looked like.
