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 />
