Verruckt Waterslide

This article is about the Kansas city's verruckt water slide. This water slide is the world's largest and tallest water slide. verruckt means insane in German so you can tell how wild this invention is going to be. They hope to Guinness world record, they say that it is definitely taller than the current record holder, Brazil's 14 story high insano. Basically how they're talking the verruckt should be higher than Niagara falls and the statue of liberty. the experts say that it at least measures 17 stories tall. some people don't want to ride it just because of the steps, there are 264 steps that you have to walk up just to get to the top, that's allot! This roller coaster's free fall is more than 65mph. close to the end riders will be propelled across a five story high hill. that's pretty insane don't you agree? well that was the article on the verruckt water fall.

  • I was mulling over the last week of school. 
  • My family is talking about going to Kansas city for a vacation one week.
  • My dog definitely surpasses my friend's dogs. 
  • My cousins live in Brazil for the summer. 
  • When we put it in perspective it's taller than the arch. 
  • We speculated on the bridge just to make sure it was safe.  
  • They had to free fall for 30 minutes. 
  • My mom got propelled into the air then back to the ground. 
  • The barrel came hurtling toward my dog.
  • My brother took a long time while he was welding the gate. 
  • The illumination of lights were amazing. 
  • That ride was so radical. 
  • The boss made sure they did allot of extensive testings so that way no one would get hurt.

micro windmills

This article is about how a guy named Jung-chih chiao and his creation of something that's really small called the wind turbine. He is figuring out how to make a ultra-cute micro windmills that may soon charge your devices. Since it would be such a difficult task to carry around humongous windmills all day he has come up with an idea to making very little windmills, so that way you can take it anywhere you want to go. The win mill measure 1.8 millimeters at their smallest point. Think what their smallest point will be! They are so small that they say that ten of them could fit on a grain of rice that's really small. Each wind turbine comprises of a three bladed 1.8 millimeter diameter device that is mounted on a 2 millimeter tall tower. although it's small and 100 microns thick it is still durable to hold extremely strong winds. This is possible because it is made out of a extremely flexible and durable nickle called alloy.

  • It was very hard when we were harnessing wind energy to do the same as solar energy, but we still did it. 
  • We contemplated the puppies to make sure they didn't look sick or hurt first then we took them home. 
  • It was very arduous to paint the whole house with just three small paintbrushes. 
  • We went to Arlington over the winter. 
  • My mom had the new one but my grandma had the prototype.
  • This machine is called a wind turbine to measure the wind.
  • The rotating member of a rotating machine is a rotor. 
  • The machine was one million microns thick.
  • My dog was able to whist hand the 50 mph wind.
  • The watch was so durable that we had it for ten years straight. 
  • The coin was made up of alloy.
  • We used semiconductors to exam what the difference was between them, conductors, and insulators. 
  • The bakery has a new bacon wafer on sale now.
  • My dad has alot of patents when he goes to work. 
  • He made sure to assert when he was about to let his client get arrested. 
  • The teacher made us all brainstorm what our rough draft was going to be about. 
  • my step mom is part Taiwanese.
