I'm a Failure
After research at school and at home, I figured that this is impossible. The only thing that i find helpful is the propeller. The reason is because the propellers are the things that are going to make the "bugs" fly. The first video shows how to level the propellers off. One side shouldn't weigh more than the other. If this does happen, the flying object will go to one direction. This is bad especially if control is one of your goals. To fix this, you can use glue to make it even. Also, the other video gives me an idea on how to put the motor. I will keep trying to look for more websites even though i doubt i will find one.
EHow How to Build a Toy Motorized Airplane
The website provides you with instruction on how to place a motor on an airplane. The tools that are needed is a motor and a propeller. Even though the webpage shows an airplane, it is the same concept. All you need is a motor with a propeller. The website is lacking pictures and videos. This becomes a problem on step 3. This website just helped with setting up the basics. Now, I have to figure out where to place the motors. Also, how may motors to place and the distance between tem. All in all, I'm pretty sure this website will come in handy.

Fun Sience Projects
http://www.good-science-fair-projects.com/fun-science-projects.html
Finally! I have found a descent website. It provides you with a bachgorund and directions on how to make the alarm system. It also lists materials. After telling you how to build it, it also gives you the results that you shuould expect. This is helpful because you will know if you did the project right or wrong. However, it doesn't provide you with pictures or videos. The website is better than the rest though. The directions are simple to follow, and you know what to expect. It even comes with a purpose for the experiment which other websites did not provide. This website also has other projects that you can work on.

http://www.ehow.com/how_4488716_make-simple-security-alarm.html
This other webisite also seems simple. It gives you directions on how to make it. It also provides a list of the materials that you need. Once again, the same problem occurs. They have no pictures or videos. How am I suppose to build something without a visual? Anyway, a good thing from this website is the tips they provide at the end. They also have warnings that tell you what not to do. The website claims that this project is easy, so i have to try this one out. This projects seems to be missing a switch. All in all, I will be using some ideas from this website.

How to Build a Simple Burglar Alarm System
http://www.safesecure24.com/?p=613
This website provides the tools that are needed to create the alarm system. It is composed of a battery, a buzzer, and a block of wood. The website provides you with the procedures that need to be taken. The problem with this website is that there are no pictures or videos. The instruction are also bunched up. It will be a lot easier if they were in a list. The thing that I do like from this project is that it seem very simple and cheap. The total price for the whole project might be close to ten dollars. This is very good for an economy like the one we have right now. We can all have alarm systems with this basic project.

The Spudgun Technology Center
http://www.spudtech.com/content.asp?id=5
The website has intructions and materials. They guide you thru out the project. They also provide you with the tools that will be needed to work on a project like this. However, there is a problem with this website. They don't provide you with pictures or videos to get a visual. This will become a problem when I have trouble putting something together. The web site is well organized. They start from the building procedures all the way to the instruction on how to fire it. The website also provides you with links on the left side of the screen. They provide you with the history and other things that can further your understanding of a Spud Gun, or t-shirt launcher.

Web Page Article
The articles about a good web site design and a bad website design hepled me to understand how a web site should be uploaded. The text on the website should be medium size so it can be legible. If you have a small font, your visiters might lose interest in reading your article because they are having trouble reading your article. The background in your web page should be professional. You dont want a fancy design that takes the reader attention from what they shoukd be paying attention to. Also, you font color should be legible with you back ground. For example, you don't want a black background with a purple font. This will be very hard to read. The best choice would be a white font color with a black background or any dark color. Another important thing, when making a web page, is to make it easy to navigate. You want your reader to know at all time where the links send him/her. The artilce has helped me to make a blog that is easier to read. For exmaple, my blog is simple and I used a black background with a white font to make the words stand out. The reason why I did this was so my readers dont have a hard time reading my page and put more time into reading and learning from my posts.
Pneumatics
The module that I was able to explore was Pneumatics. The main idea of the module is to use compressed air from a compressor. When this air travels through a tube or pipes, you can connect it to something to turn the air into mechanical energy. For example, I had to use a pneumatic motor in one of my simulations. When I hooked the motor to the regulator an turned it on, the air was able to spin the motor in a torque motion. The module is similar to hydrolics. However, hydrolics uses oil as a fluid. This is very messy and slow, but you can lift more weight through this equipment. If you want to make the pressure stronger in pneumatics, you can open the regulator to maximum copacity, or you can reduce the volume. This allows the particles of air to squeeze tighter. The advantages of pneumatics include a cleaner area to work with and the speed at which it performs its work. Pneumatics is used in the real world every day. When you pump air into you tires at a gas station, you are using pneumatics. Also, pneumatics is used in the industry to allow robots to perform work. For example, some robots are programmed to crush things. It is bassically a pneumatic cylinder that extends.

What is Blogger?
Blogger is basicly a website that lets you post whatever you want. It is way to communicate with other people. Since blogger is used through out the world, you can communicate with people across the country or with a country you never heard of.
