A US high school with only 200 students is producing some of the world’s best technology.
Students at this school made cars with improved fuel efficiency (燃油效率) and other inventions, too. And now, the students are designing a washing machine for outer space. They hope it will be accepted by NASA or us.
NASA asked for ideas through its HUNCH program, which is short for “High School United with NASA to Create Hardware”. Braham Area High School is one of the 100 schools in the program.
The challenge is to come up with a good way to wash clothes on long-time space tasks, where air and water don’t mix and soap can’t be used. On shorter space tasks, astronauts simply throw away their dirty clothes. For longer tasks, a different solution is needed.
The team has already built a system using a series of pumps (泵) and vacuum chambers (真空室), but NASA were afraid that it might not be durable (耐用的).
The washing machine isn’t the only NASA project Brahma students are working on. They’re also designing and building a track system to hold equipment. NASA said it plans to use their system.
They’re also designing an automated (自动化的) feeding system for space mice. NASA regularly takes mice into space as test subjects.
“To get a kid to do something that they never thought they could do, that’s really great!” said Luke Becker, the school’s technology teacher. “There are kids who never planned to do anything in technology until they had these chances.”
