Young Architect Toy…


So i came across this whilst searching around Amazon

The stereotypical child architect...? well he does look like a wanker i guess.

The young architect by …‘Poof-Slinky’ (no….really…)

Build your own 3-D architectural models – just like real architects do!

  • Reusable design and building set
  • Create 3-D models in three easy steps
  • Design floor plans with room templates
  • Furnish rooms with the furniture guide and colored pencils
  • Build a 3-D model on top of the floor plan
  • 9 room templates

Why isn't this child wearing all black?

Learn to envision different uses of space, proportion and architectural design to create your own unique dream house.

“I bought this for my 14 year old son and was very disappointed…. A pad of graph paper, plastic templates that are available at office supply stores, a good metal ruler, some paper and tape are a better investment than this. ”

“I agree …this item disappointing. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. (…) all you get is few pieces of acrylic, tracing paper, a few peel and stick windows and four colored pencils. The “manual” is a 4-page booklet with little useful information in it. The people selling this should be ashamed of foisting it on gullible consumers (like me). Borders on being a scam. ”

All for the low, low price of US$55

I have come up with a cheaper solution, rather than spending a lot of money on your child (they certainly wont have money if they do make it to be an architect after all!) why not give them the real experience?

Simply keep your child awake for 40 hours straight, get them addicted to red bull and have them design a fully drafted and documented 4 bedroon, 2 bathroom, living, dining and kitched 6 star enegy rating house that complies with building codes and regulations and uses solely recycled materials – by tomorrow.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what
    all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would
    cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not

    Slim Movie Coatings are from time to time utilized to whole surfaces of substrates,
    “wall to wall” so to converse, in a continuous unbroken film.
    But lots of periods the remaining type of whatever distinct
    material is staying used is patterned so that it is coated in selected precise parts and bare in others.

    There are two principal means to obtain this influence:

    one. Subtractive, or Etch Back process – the whole floor is coated, and then select parts are removed,
    leaving the ideal pattern. The pattern building step usually will involve some sort
    of physical masking agent and then an appropriate type of etching to
    eliminate what need to be eradicated and not hurt something else.

    2. Additive, or Raise Off approach – the pattern building move,
    which once more will commonly involve some kind of physical masking agent, comes very first.

    This is adopted by the coating method, which is comparable to working with a stencil.

    Only the ideal sample will get used via the openings in the mask
    onto the true substrate. The excess ends up on top rated of the mask and is eradicated when the mask is lifted off.
    This form of Elevate Off Thin Film Deposition system will be the subject matter of this post.

    A main thing to consider for picking out a Actual physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process for Elevate
    Off is the sample specification. If the pattern dimensions and tolerances are reasonably large, a bodily
    mask this sort of as a slim sheet metal stencil can operate and
    the approach can be effectively any style. But for scaled-down dimensions, sharper line resolution, and
    tighter tolerances, the mask will almost certainly have to be photoresist.
    To obtain clean up traces, this photoresist is typically uncovered and designed to develop a destructive slope, an “overhanging” edge so
    that the deposition can be shadowed beneath
    it leaving a small hole involving the edge of the coated line and the photoresist coverage.
    There are also special dual layer photoresists for this intent, providing
    a step overhang rather of a slope.

    And to consider genuine advantage of the capability therefore afforded, which can give superior results in micron or
    more compact proportions, the deposition vapor stream should have a long suggest absolutely free
    route and impinge on the masked substrate perpendicular to its
    area. The previous demands very low chamber tension, normally underneath 10-4 torr.
    And the latter generally needs a relatively prolonged toss – the length from supply to substrate.

    For both of those of these factors, Thermal Evaporation is commonly the PVD process of preference.
    The supply is ordinarily situated in the centre of the base of a vertical cylindrical chamber.
    The substrate holder (generally named tooling) is a dome
    rotating about a vertical axis centered above the resource at a common distance of 18 inches or far more.
    The dome is typically curved, a part of a sphere with some radius of curvature.
    For Carry Off, this radius of curvature need to be
    equivalent to the throw distance, which is the resource to
    substrate (dome) distance.

    If the source have been a accurate mathematical position source, it would so be
    situated at the centre of an imaginary sphere of radius R, with the actual dome remaining
    the topmost part of mentioned sphere. With course
    of action pressure typically in the 10-5 to ten-six torr
    selection, the suggest absolutely free route –
    the average distance an evaporated atom or molecule will
    travel in a straight line in advance of colliding with a different gasoline atom or molecule – will be at minimum
    similar to R. And with the vapor particles all touring in straight strains to all details on the dome, each 1 is on a direct radial line
    and will strike the surface of the dome perpendicular to the airplane that would be tangent to
    the surface area at that place.

    This affliction makes perpendicular incidence on the curved dome surface, which
    is essential for best sample precision – a vapor stream
    coming in at an angle will not deposit particularly in the center of the photoresist (mask) opening as was supposed.
    But substrates are virtually always flat, which is a deviation from this perfect curved floor and consequently a deviation from
    entirely perpendicular incidence. A good rule of thumb for large precision Lift Off designs is to retain this angular
    mistake, the deviation from perpendicular vapor stream impingement on the substrate, to less than five degrees.

    And, for substrates these types of as semiconductor wafers
    in common tooling domes, the vapor stream is
    perpendicular at the heart of the wafer (zero
    angular error) and boosts toward the edges, with the most
    error remaining dependent on the wafer diameter
    in relation to the throw length.

    At an eighteen inch throw length, a 3 inch wafer would
    consequently have a four.8º utmost error at its edges, with a 4 inch
    wafer possessing a six.4º mistake and larger sized
    wafers acquiring larger sized mistakes. At a 24 inch toss distance, the 4 inch wafer’s error
    would cut down to 4.8º with a six inch wafer getting 7.2º.
    More substantial wafers call for extended throw distances for large resolution Carry
    Off results, and extended distances also need a longer suggest absolutely free path which means superior vacuum force.

    A different crucial reality linked with Raise Off tooling as described is that, with the throw distance becoming continuous throughout
    the overall dome, the intrinsic vapor deposition fee will fall off from its utmost at the dome’s middle directly above the source
    to decrease values approaching the perimeter. In accordance with
    Knudsen’s Regulation, this need to comply with a theoretical cosine curve for the escalating deviation of
    evaporant stream angle from zero (vertical) at the
    heart to its most at the dome perimeter.

    This intrinsic non uniformity of the deposition thickness ought to be compensated by
    a fixed blocking mask in concerning the supply and the dome doing work in combination with dome rotation to correctly block a portion of
    the heavier central deposition to cut down it to the identical level as the perimeter
    deposition. There are, of class information in the intended shape of this mask,
    but without having it the thickness uniformity will not be best.
    Note that this uniformity mask is a significant scale fastened blocking mask powering which
    the dome rotates, fairly distinct from the fine scale patterning mask (photoresist) which
    rotates with the dome/substrates..

    As with all these types of items, there will be aspects to work out in buy to create a good doing the job procedure for your
    close products. Raise Off PVD skinny movie deposition processing having said that,
    can be a very practical tool to have offered, in particular
    when selective etch back is difficult or
    impossible because of to the unique materials becoming utilised not
    getting appropriate selective etchants accessible.
