Redesign of transport

 

I have redesigned a train and I added solar panels and some LED lights and a battery pack. The solar panels will catch light from the sun allowing the train to move instead of the old fashioned way of moving by rail. The LED lights are to light the way in the dark and are more energy efficient and use less electricity compared to ordinary light bulbs. The battery pack is used to store the extra solar energy when its not being used or at night otherwise the extra solar power will go to waste. The train is made from recycled metal this is more environment friendly because it saves natural ore and reduces energy and resources that go into mining metal also reducing emissions and greenhouse gases. Electric cars are quiet and electric trains are quiet so my redesign doesn't disturb the environment by being noisey.

Steam challenge food packaging

My food packaging is environmentally friendly because its reusable so that means you can use the same container over and over again. A plastic container can last for 5 to 10 years and at the end of its life you can recycle it. I also thought of some other ideas like:

Corn husks 
Taro Leaves
Harakeke bag
Plastic container 
Paper bag
Glass jar 
Beeswax wrappers

These might also be good ideas for food packaging.

Elephants electric tooth brush design

 

Elephants have 26 teeth including their tusks so I have included 24 small brushes for their molar teeth and two extra large brushes on the outside that will clean their tusks. My design has a soft gel mouth guard so it doesn't hurt the elephants mouth it also is very quiet so it does not scare the elephants. It has a long handle for the zoo keepers to reach up high to brush their teeth. The shape is like a mouth so it fits nicely insides the elephants mouth.

My mini beast adventure

 

My mini Beast adventure

There was once a flying caterpillar called Joe, his features were wings legs and stripes and a stinger. He pollinates native flowers and eats tiny insects.His predators are big huge birds, like a pukeko or a tui and ducks. He pollinates flowers with 19 others since they only released 20 of them it takes 3 years for them to reproduce babys. Joe Lived a nice life until one day the birds were coming everybody panicked and ran to their little bushes to hide but Joe was the only one still outside and a pukeko was chasing him he tried to fly off but he got hit by a car windshield and flew into a forest on the other side of the road. Joe got up and tried to walk home but then he saw an older flying caterpillar his name was Arthur he was very old his wings were weak and legs were tired until Joe found him he wanted to get home but the caterpillar said he wasn’t ready yet he was only a small soft flying caterpillar so he was trained. He first tried a  punching bag that arthur made from feathers and some wool from a sheep that died from a wolf a long time ago so he told Joe to try punch it hard but joe went soft on it he needed rage so Arthur said a insult like what a bird would say and Joe got madder and madder and punched it so hard it almost broke the bag so he kept on making him angry to punch the bag until he broke it then he was lifting weights to get stronger and stronger that Arthur made from a small stick and 2 tiny rocks and then he tried dodging if the birds tried to bite him or something so Arthur threw things that were very light other wise they would fall and barely touch joe he got hit a bunch of times but then he knew what he had to do so when he threw a tiny stick and ducked down and turned left and right and jumped and then he was ready and then Arthur told him how he could get home he said to listen his way home and then in a second he vanished. Joe was surprised but didnt get what he meant by listen his way home but then he heard the noise it was the birds trying to destory the other caterpillars bushes and Joe knew what he had to do so he went on as the sound got higher and higher and saw the road but he forgot he could fly so he flew over the cars. Flying over the road was making him a bit tired but he kept on going and reached his home then he learnt what he trained for and smacked a pukeko in the face and the other birds tried to fight back but he kept smacking them so they flew away. Joe was the protector of flying caterpillars but he couldn’t do it alone so he trained the other flying caterpillars how to fight back because the stinger wasn’t enough so he told them what Arthur said and after fighting for 3 years they started to reproduce babies and they lived a happy life forever.

The End.

My mini beast

 

We are going to release 20 flying caterpillars into the Papakura area my flying caterpillar takes 3 years to reproduce. During this time they are going to pollinate lots of flowers and native plants around the Pahurehure inlet helping them grow faster and clean the water which will hopefully give us a nice clean swimming beach. He has wings that help him fly away quickly and a very large stinger that protects him from predators.
