Automatic door- fLOW CHART

Thursday, March 25, 2010


For one of my automatic doors, I decided to use a pressure sensor. There is a pressure sensor located 1 1/2 meters away from the door. It takes 10 or more kilos to open the door. In case of emergency, the glass door can bebroken with the provided next to the door. After activated, the door stays open for 15 seconds after sensing the most recent weight. If the person takes longer then 15 seconds, the door will stop because of another pressure sensor located in the door. The problem with the door is, if it stops woring, you have to break the whole door.
Other wise, i think that this automatic door is great!

What we did last week

Last week for CT, we worked on a power point. The power point consists of designs of creative automatic doors that can be used for the school. For every door we design, we write a slide to go with it on how the door works and what sensors it uses. So far I have made two doors and five slides. The this activity for CT class is very fun and challenging :D

Analysis of the Task

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

First, I need to know what a sliding door is, and many other things like-

-Sensors

-How doors open and close (smootly)

-How long the doors need to stay open

-To orginize the doors (which way they open, how many moving doors)

To find out about this listed text, I will research on the internet for sliding doors.
