DIY Centrifuge Training Machine

First thing in the morning I had computer coding class. This time we were only building Mindstrom.

Looking for a LEGO piece

Let's build!

Later we had lunch together, I was in charge of preparing it - we made spaghetti á la carbonarra and mushroom soup.

Let's start

DONE! DIG IN!

After lunch we had science class it was about centrifuge training machines and G-Force.
As you know astronauts must prepare themselves for the very strong G-Force acting upon them when they break from the Earth´s gravity or enter it back.

We learned how the centrifuge training machines work and we also made a small DIY model of the machine.

Here is my model:

Take a look how it works:

My first gig!

Last Saturday was Play for Change Day (around the world people play music and the money from the tickets goes to buy instruments for poor kids around the world that have talent but can't afford to buy instruments or have music teachers).

The OJ Band a.k.a. Orange Juice Band (me on keyboard and my best friend Owen on the electric guitar) went to Red Room for a Stage Time and Juice gig for kids.

The OJ Band played  不能說的秘密 by 周杰倫  & Whistle by Flo Rida. I also played two pieces on sax Take the A Train by Duke Ellington & The Girl from Ipanema by Antônio Carlos Jobim.
