Questions Asked:Questions Asked: Question: How important was it to return the stick to its Question: How important was it to return the stick to its
original position?original position? The stick had to be returned to its initial position to be able The stick had to be returned to its initial position to be able
to change the volumes at which the drum played. If the drum stick to change the volumes at which the drum played. If the drum stick did not return to its initial position, the variable force firing of the did not return to its initial position, the variable force firing of the solenoid would have little to no effect on the stick tip velocity, thus solenoid would have little to no effect on the stick tip velocity, thus making it impossible to change the volume.making it impossible to change the volume.
Additionally, the stick had to return to its original position Additionally, the stick had to return to its original position because otherwise, it would not create sound. If the drum stick because otherwise, it would not create sound. If the drum stick remained in contact with the drum head, the firing of the solenoid remained in contact with the drum head, the firing of the solenoid would not generate sound. The stick would be driven through the would not generate sound. The stick would be driven through the drum head.drum head.
Question: How durable was the spring?Question: How durable was the spring? The spring was effective for our use. The design team feels The spring was effective for our use. The design team feels
that because of the spring constant, the durability of the spring that because of the spring constant, the durability of the spring would not be an issue.would not be an issue.
Question: How easy would it be to add components?Question: How easy would it be to add components? Adding components would be a significant challenge that Adding components would be a significant challenge that
would need to be thought out. By adding more components, the would need to be thought out. By adding more components, the weight of the design would be significantly increased, which would weight of the design would be significantly increased, which would cause the apparatus to be difficult to move around. Additionally, to cause the apparatus to be difficult to move around. Additionally, to fit the design through a set of doors, one could not extend the size of fit the design through a set of doors, one could not extend the size of the frame to include more components. This question requires much the frame to include more components. This question requires much more thought, and would need to be fully investigated if pursuing more thought, and would need to be fully investigated if pursuing the product.the product.
