Changes

== The Midterm Project ==

When I wrote my project proposal, I had a lot of ideas that I wanted to do, but not everything went well. I decided to start off with some new ideas from scratch. Then suddenly, I came up with something. I decided to make a netbook cooler, as no company has made one yet. The purpose of this cooler is to decrease the temperature of the netbook by fanning below . This project is simple, but yet simple. The cooler will have two features, an automatic switch so when a netbook is placed on top, the cooler will automatically start fanning, and a turning knob to adjust the speed of the fan. The cooler was easy to make, I placed the red switch on top of the box, so that way when something is pressed against it, it would connect the circuit all together, making the fan spin. I placed the knob on the back so adjust the volume of the fan, which is also connected to the circuit. The turning knob is also known as a potentiometer, it can be treated as a resistor as you can change the volume of the electricity flowing through the motor that is rotating the fan. The box is actually made out of a cereal box, wrapped with black construction paper. Inside the box, the circuit board is placed in the back, which also connects the wire from the battery, potentiometer (turning knob), and the switch button. Upon use, this product actually works. Though, it will only fit netbooks only, it still cools down the netbook slightly.
