You are in a windless bamboo rainforest, without technology, and are given a DC motor, wires, a boat propeller, a knife, a GPS Screen and a waterproof casing for all your electronics. You are not given any batteries. What would you use your materials to create to help you navigate the rainforest and make it back home?
Rainforests have rain, which drips down to the earth as it falls due to gravity.
All of the rain in rainforests has to go somewhere - all rainforests have streams or rivers. Think the amazon rainforest, the congo, etc.
Since you have a knife and there are bamboo shoots everywhere, those bamboo shoots could also be cut and used as a slide for the water to flow down.
Wire up a circuit that connects your dc motor with the propeller attached to it with wires to the GPS screen. Place the propeller into the casing and put it in water. Just as we discovered today - rotational motion creates energy. The rotational motion from water flowing in the river OR the bamboo slide would spin the propeller and power the GPS screen.
Solve X^2+6x+9=0
