Question

Research (Literature Review):
[Search the net, see if there are paper towers that have already been made, what is unique in these towers. Select one idea from the net and explain its design. Provide a picture of the design.

please mention also the advantages and disadvantages of the design you choose it

Answer 1

Aim:

The objective here is to build a free standing paper tower with newspapers.

Design:

1. Put the Sunday newspaper bundle on the floor without opening it out.
2. Tape the bundle nicely so that it doesn’t flap around. This creates a stable base for the tower.
3. Roll 5 additional full-size sheets lengthwise into tubes of around 1-inch diameter.
4. Tape them to secure firmly.
5. Stand one such tube at the center of the Sunday paper base. You can hold it in place with the aid of 4 pieces of tape along the 4
6. Now attach the other 4 tubes in such a way that they extend diagonally from the corners of the base up to the tip of the central paper pillar. You would need to tape both the ends of the tubes.
7. Now start adding more rolls of paper to the top of the central tube until the structure begins to wobble.
8. Measure the length. Write it down in your lab report, if any.
9. Now you would need to add additional reinforcements of paper tubes from the sides to keep the tower stable.
10. Proceed in this way to create a tall tower. $..Advantages:
    1.we must pay particular attention to designing the tower to withstand the forces of high winds. 2.Identify which designs can and cannot withstand the selfweight of the newspaper towel as well as a lateral wind load. 3. You can design a tower with less cost is favored for you to select for companies. $ Disadvantages: 1.They cannot withstand moretime because the papers are so delicate. 2. For more stable we need some other materials. 3. The building newspaper towers is only for height not to support any load.
