Inspiring Innovation take flight? That is what this exhibit is all about. Because of a few fluids properties, a spinning object actually creates lift. Come see how in Talbot 104. Location: Room 104 This exhibit is suitable for: hs, adult everyday applications, from drive shafts to springs. Also, check out our hands on soap bubble experiments, an innovative way to observe shear stress in non-circular members. Don’t miss the fun in Talbot 105! Location: Room 105 This exhibit is suitable for: hs, adult Space Shuttle Heat Tile Demonstration American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Demonstration of a Space Shuttle Heat Tile and its ability to dissipate heat during reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere. Location: Room 103 This exhibit is suitable for: All Trebuchet TAM Toys Society for Experimental Mechanics See what mechanics is all about in a fun and interactive way. Get hands on experience with moments and angular velocity using our bicycle wheel gyroscope. Plus many other exciting toys. Wonder what makes a strong knot? Test your favorite knot in our tension machine during the Knot Tying Contest held both days. Location: Room 220 This exhibit is suitable for: All Society for Experimental Mechanics The Trebuchet, which first appeared on medieval French battlefields as dominating siege engine, is making an appearance at this year’s EOH. The Society for Experimental Mechanics has designed its own trebuchet, and will discuss a mathematical model of the device. SEM will also discuss the design process and production process for the final model. Come and see the trebuchet in action as SEM demonstrates its creation with a few test launches in Talbot 105! Location: Room 105 This exhibit is suitable for: All Physics Professor Anthony J. Leggett shares the Nobel Prize in Physics with Alexei A. Abrikosov and Vitaly L. Ginzburg for pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids.. 2003 Wind Tunnel Demonstration Torsion of Non-Circular Members Society for Experimental Mechanics The torsion of members can be seen in hundreds of AIAA Demonstrate lift, drag and other aerodynamic properties of a wing, sphere and golf ball. Location: 18A This exhibit is suitable for: All Robert H. Liebeck (BS 1961, MS 1962, PhD 1968, Aerospace Engineering) has attained world recognition with his novel designs for high-lift airfoils, referred to by the aeronautics community as the “Liebeck airfoils.” He is co-developer of the Blended-Wing-Body (BWB), a revolutionary design for subsonic transports which is widely considered as the next revolution in subsonic commercial transportation. It is a 600-passenger, “flying wing” aircraft with significantly better economics and efficiency than traditional designs. The BWB is a top priority at NASA, and is under serious consideration by Boeing, where Liebeck is a Senior Fellow. 2005
