    I needed to amplify the sound waves of the song "I am a Believer" using a two liter bottle. In order to achieve my goal of playing this song clear with, no fuzziness, and no echo I had to look at my materials. I chose water because the sound waves will resonate off and not absorb into the water, and then the sound waves will exit through holes that I cut into the bottle. The materials we used to make this sound amplify is a two liter bottle, an iPod, and water from the sink. One lesson in particular

    widened as I somehow managed to spin around in the cool sand. I dug my toes underneath as the remaining sand covered the tip of my feet. I relaxed a little, it felt good to be home. The sound of my friend calling my name seemed to fade away as the waves roared over the shore, the low tide in activation. I stood there, waiting where the boardwalk met the sand. The breeze made a sound that comforted me, as it also sent a windy feel to it. I shivered.I tucked a loose strand of my salt-filled hair behind

    part of the bore. The distance travelled by the piston (the stroke length) would be dependent on the amplitude of the wave. The Disadvantages and solutions for the Piston-Crank Concept Due to the corrosive nature of sea water, materials with high corrosion-resistant properties needed to be selected. Corrosion and wear are the main problems faced when designing in the in sea water (Wang et al., 2009). The due to the nature of the piston-crank concept, there are many moving parts and many parts that
