What’s popping its ya boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii WaterKing!!!!!!!!
I am here today to tell you about my innovation Day project. We were asked to build a medieval castle with a working drawbridge.
Background information about the Medieval times
Castles
A castle is building that protects the lords and the queens and the serfs that work for the lords. Originally, castles were build out of wood and in a deep ditch that had a wooden wall around it with houses inside that the lord owned. Now they are made out of stone and bricks because the wood was vulnerable to fire.
Drawbridges
a drawbridge is something that protects the people who lives inside the castle. it is a pulley and gears system. it is where you pull a rope and sometimes turn a gear when you let go of the rope the drawbridge will fall and when you pull it in the opposite direction, it will pull up.
Feudal system
The feudal system shows the importance of a person in the middle ages. Now, we got smarter so we are trying to all be equal but we are still working on it! The serfs are at the bottom because we weren’t big brain enough. this means we thought when people were born they weren’t as important as others.

Results
conclusion
In conclusion, I choose to build a fixed pulley system because each time I tried a moveable pulley it broke. I choose to use cardboard and other tools from the scientist in the school.
If I did this project again I would focus on my gear system first because that was most important and then my castle. I would use a bigger gear with more teeth to move the smaller gear and my pulley system faster.
