Popular Mechanics November issue
By Jessica Lin, Jessica Matthews, Julia Silverman, and Hemali Thakker No date given
One day four students from Harvard University had a brilliant idea. The people’s names were; Jessica Lin, Jessica Matthews, Julia Silverman, and Hemali Thakker . Their idea was to make a special soccer ball. The ball can light a LED light for about three hours after playing with it for about fifteen minutes. They were trying to find out a way to provide electricity for people who live in places where there is limited electricity .They tested the ball during the World Cup in South Africa. The ball only weighs 5 ounces more than a FIFA ball.
I think that that is amazing how people are coming up with new ways to power things. It is hard to think that only four people came up with that idea. I cannot wait to see what else we will start to use to power different things. One of my questions is how did they come up with that idea and my other one is why did you use a soccer ball why not a basketball or a tennis ball?
