What is known as the “jump” phenomenon is a stunning feature of mechanics that can be explained with an investigation into the meUnfriendly chanics that is “Crazy Springs”. SIGMiL Location: 104 Your privacy settings online do not protect you. Unfriendly dem- This exhibit is suitable for: College onstrates the pervasiveness of information on the internet. Location: Atrium CubeSat This exhibit is suitable for: Mid- CubeSat is a student-run orgadle School, High School, Colnization that designs and builds lege, General Public small satellites to fly in space. Students from many engineerTalbot Laboratory ing disciplines work in teams on designing subsystems of the Century of Flight spacecraft. We hope to launch AIAA our next satellite into space in Documentary video presentation late 2009 or early 2010! regarding the history of flight. Location: 206H Location: 105 This exhibit is suitable for: This exhibit is suitable for: All General Public Flight Simulator AIAA A computer along with yoke, pedals, and throttle will be available for flight simulation. The image will be projected onto a large screen for optimum viewing and more realistic interaction. Location: 105 This exhibit is suitable for: All Concrete Crushing Society For Experimental Mechanics Every year, Concrete Crushing is a must-see exhibit. Our fourstory testing machine is capable of exerting up to 3 million pounds of crushing force on whatever we choose to put underneath it. Don’t miss out on this larger-than-life demonstration! Crushing Times are as follows: 10:00am, 11:30am, 1:00pm, 2:30pm. Location: Basement This exhibit is suitable for: General Public Society For Experimental Mechanics The Fluids Laboratory in Talbot Lab is the most hands-on fluids laboratory at the University of Illinois. Demonstrations are fun for all ages. The non-Newtonian fluids demonstration provides a wonderful experience for those wishing to further understand fluids that don’t behave like we might expect them to. Location: 126 Design, Build, Fly: Design This exhibit is suitable for: All Fun with Fluids and Construction Of R/C Airplanes Crazy Springs Society For Experimental Mechanics We have launched an explora- Design, Build, Fly Design, Build, Fly is a student organization that competes in an annual competition sponsored by the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics and hosted by Cessna and Raytheon. Our presentation will include an overview of the design process, as well as key design points from current and past airplanes. A flight simulator will also be presented to allow for first hand experience with flying R/C airplanes. Location: 103 This exhibit is suitable for: All Smoke Rings! Society For Experimental Mechanics Come and see our smoke ring generator that will create smoke rings 6 feet in diameter. These monstrous rings are big enough to park your car in, but still obey laws of fluid mechanics. Come see it to believe it! Location: Hallway between 104 & 126 This exhibit is suitable for: All Space Shuttle Tile Demonstration AIAA An actual space shuttle tile is held in one hand by a team
