Today we made our blog!!!! We went to the media lab on Wednesday to see Ken's lab and played with vacuums and silicon and different "sand-like" materials. It was very interesting to see the different projects people have worked on with vacuums. One project was a silicon ballon filled with sand that you could mold into any shape and turn the vacuum on, and it would hold its shape. Steven Keating made the silicon cray. Ken showed us a simpler version downstairs that used a plastic garbage bag, a portable vacuum and a small bean bag. It did worked in a similar way to the silicon cray, where it could be molded, the vacuum removed the air and then it held its shape.
We made our twitter account yesterday, DLabProsthesis.
