The Infinity Candle

For our final action project in our unit of time we were able to invent our own time telling device. I created something called the infinity candle, an eco-friendly reusable candle that you may be able to find in your local Urban Outfitters soon. We went on a very inspiring FE during this unit to The Chicago Lighthouse for the blind. Here we learned about how blind people can make clocks tell time and functioning in society just like we do. This also had an effect on the device I made. I added grooves in where the numbers are so a blind person would be able to feel what time it is. I made this choice because at the Lighthouse one of the instructors told us that blind people use their sense of feeling a lot when functioning in society. In this unit we also covered some important equations that went in to the creation of my candle such as volume. Below is a quick video presentation of how it all works.
