A | Blender <strong>granule</strong> tests<br />
3. Blending 1 minute, four large flat pieces<br />
(size around 13cm x 5,5cm; ±10gram)<br />
Input Blender Output<br />
Thoughts<br />
More material does result into a higher number of smaller pieces and is therefore a better<br />
result than test 1, but still worse than test 2.<br />
- What would happen if we filled the blender with the same amount material but<br />
then crumpled (larger volume, perhaps more impact).<br />
4. Blending 1 minute, four large crumpled pieces<br />
(size around 13cm x 5,5cm; ±10gram)<br />
Input Blender Output<br />
Thoughts<br />
The First good results are in, lot of small pieces but there are still some larger parts.<br />
- The pieces bounce up and down, perhaps a smaller blender would fulfil better<br />
(might blend the material quicker). We think if we would fill the blender to the top<br />
the upper parts won’t hit the blender so a smaller blender would fit better.<br />
- Some extreme small pieces become static and are sticking to the side of the<br />
blender.<br />
- Longer blending could probably result into better pieces.<br />
