Meet the Awesome Kinetic-Powered Blender!
As part of the engineering team, our challenge for the Park(ing) activity was to design and make a machine that transform kinetic energy produced by the human body into an end product that stores energy. We started by brainstorming “what would people like to get if they went to our park, what would encourage them to use our machine.” The unanimous opinion was, considering that it is spring, a milkshake! From here we brainstormed ways in which we could use the human body to blend a milkshake. One of the requirements we put ourselves was that the activity had to be fun. We ended up making a blender that is powered by running. The process no only produces a milkshake, it also burns the calories that you gain by drinking it!
