Xperience Engineering Challenge Group 4

We built an Oyster. It is a machine that is built on the sea bed. The moving of the waves cause the top of the Oyster to move in and out, causing two pistons to move in and out. This pushes pressurised water into a small tube. The pressurised water is pumped onshore to a generator which produces electricity. We built a model of

For our K’Nex experience we had to build a pelamis or an oyster. Our group Neasa H, Hannah B and Claire Mc V, decided to do an oyster. For the first step we had to design a plan of what we were doing. We used our plans to construct our Oyster out of K’Nex. We replaced lots of pieces to improve it. Finally we

For the K’NEX challenge our group, Aoife, Emer and Sarah, decided to build an oyster. An oyster is a machine that is in the water and uses waves to produce power. As the lid of the oyster goes up and down as the motor turns the generator starts to turn which produces electricity and goes back to shore.
