On today's lesson we were doing our lamps. I had some trouble with putting two parts together.
I've finished my aluminum piece and timber piece, I needed just to put these two together so that they are connected. But the problem was that they were on different angle and I don't know how to make them be on the same angle. So, on the next class I will have to borrow a book and look it up.

Term 2 questions.
Design Technology questions.
CAD stands fro Computer-Aided Design
A prototype is an early sample or model built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from. It's important because that us how you can check whether your project is going to work or not. If not, how can you fix it and make it better.
Rapid Prototyping (RP) enables the quick fabrication of physical models using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data. Used in a wide range of industries, Rapid prototyping allows companies to turn innovative ideas into successful end products rapidly and efficiently.
before rapid-prototyping, prototype should be sketched. To see the elementary design of all the details of the machine(project)
Additive manufacturing or 3D printing[1] is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model.
CNC means Computer Numerical Control. This means a computer converts the design produced by Computer Aided Design software (CAD), into numbers. The numbers can be considered to be the coordinates of a graph and they control the movement of the cutter. In this way the computer controls the cutting and shaping of the material.
A STL file is a format used by Stereolithography software to generate information needed to produce 3D models on Stereolithography machines.In fact, the extension "stl" is said to be derived from the word "Stereolithography." The surface of an object is broken into a logical series of triangles. Each triangle is uniquely defined by its normal and three points representing its vertices.

On last lesson we were doing our lamps on ProDesktop. I had a bit of trouble with it. I had a small piece on the top of my sketch, which was not connected to other two parts( profile and path) that's why I couldn't make my profile go along the path to create an aluminum piece of my lamp.
But when I saw it and deleted it, everything was good.
That what I got at the end of the lesson.
On today's lesson, I'll probably start doing my timber piece which is a base of my lamp.

On today's lesson Mr Andrews was away. He left the work for us to do. Which is to finish our IPhones and then start working on our lamps.
I finished doing my IPhone and started working on the design of my lamp. But unfortunately I had just time to make a shape of my lamp.
Next lesson I will work on the shape of my lamp and the actual lamp.

Term 2. 1st post
This term we are working on the program called ProDesktop. It's a computer program that creates 3D projects. For last couple of lessons we were practicing our skills in the program. We've designed a pull toy, an IPhone and couple of others. For our assignment we have to hand it all the projects that we've done so far, plus the design of our lamps that we created last term.
I was so confused with making design of my IPhone, but I think it's all good now.
We also have questions that we have to answer, which then will help us to write a 500-words paragraph about design technology and the ProDesktop.
I nearly finished my iPhone, I think I'll need 10 minutes on the next lesson to finish it and them I'll start working on my lamp.
I'm also half trough the questions.

Questions
Questions
What is the actual difference between light of different colours?
The frequency of the EM wave determines the amount of amount energy it contains. Therefore, different colors of light have different frequencies and amount of energy.
How slow can we make light go?
When light passes through different media its speed slows. The slowest speed recorded is through sodium at -272 C during which the speed of light fell to 60kph – about the speed of a bicycle.
3. What does light symbolise in the following painting of the Greek god Prometheus wielding the flame of a torch?
It symbolizes the fact that The Prometheus came to people to give people light. Another reason is probably that he came to help people and here the light could be defined as help.
4. Fill in definitions for the following lighting concepts:
Ambient light
The soft indirect light that fills the volume of a room with illumination.
Direct light
Illumination on a subject or area that goes directly from the front of the luminaire in a straight line to the subject
Warm white
“Warm white” is the same colour temperature as the standard inefficient incandescent, imparts a more orange/red light on objects, is normally associated with red or orange objects.
Diffuser
A light fixture, such as a frosted globe, that spreads light evenly.
Watts
An International System unit of power equal to one joule per second.
Luminosity
the quality of being luminous; emitting or reflecting light; "its luminosity is measured relative to that of our sun"
Efficiency
The ratio of the energy delivered (or work done) by a machine to the energy needed (or work required) in operating the machine.
5. Fill in the table below describing the different kinds of lighting available:
Picture Name Feature Use
Ambient light Light source is covered by diffuser This type of light source is mainly used to provide the scene with a basic view of the different objects in it. Eg. Desk lamp
Spot light Bright, direct light, narrow beam, no diffusion. searchlights or spotlights are used in advertising, fairs, festivals and other public events. Eg. Lights in the art center
Pendant light Light can be diffused or directed down; hangs from ceiling; usually a design feature. Pendant lights are often used in multiples, hung in a straight line over kitchen countertops and dinette sets or sometimes in bathrooms. Eg. Lights in the bathroom
Task light Light points downward; often articulated; no direct light to eyes. Often task lighting refers to office lighting, where the task light is used to increase illuminance on the reading area. Eg. Desk light
LEDs come in several shapes. List three kinds of lighting they can replace.
a. Standard
b. Globe
c. Candle

Comment of the following Design Aspects of your ecolamp:
Ergonomic
Aesthetics
Function
Economics
The lamp that I did looks good. The design looks interesting and it could be put in any room with any design style because it's base which is made of timber and it's wooden colour and the aluminium piece will also look good with everything really. And because the lamp is going to be a present for my mother and we'll probably put it in her office. All the furniture that is there, is wooden so the lamp is going to be in perfect balance with the style of her office. The shape of my lamp is also fashionable, doesn't take a lot of space, what is really good for the offices because there is always not enough space.
The lamp is bright and it lights up quite a big space. What is also good because sometimes my mother stays at work late and therefore she needs a lot of light. The LEDs are putted just at the end of aluminium piece so that the light coming from it wouldn't be too bright or too dim. Because on the lamp is LED light, it saves quite a big amount of energy and therefore it saves that extra amount of money that my mother payed for the light from normal light bulbs.
Insert a colour photograph of your finished LED lamp.
