Experiment 2: Can Size

The gist of this experiment is that I used a 5' string wired between two cans. The variable in this experiment is the can size. I chose between a 6oz, 14oz, and 20oz cans. I wired the cans to every possible variable in this experiment. (eg. 6oz to 6oz, 6oz to 14oz, and 6oz to 20oz can.)

Here's how I set up each experiment:

Test 1:
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 10'
Can Size: medium to medium
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

Test 2:
Test 1
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 7.5'
Can Size: medium to small
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

Test 3:
Test 1
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 5'
Can Size: medium to large
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact
Here's how I set up each experiment:

Test 4:
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 10'
Can Size: small to small
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

Test 5:
Test 1
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 7.5'
Can Size: small to medium
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

Test 6:
Test 1
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 5'
Can Size: small to large
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

Here's how I set up each experiment:

Test 7:
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 10'
Can Size: large to large
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

Test 8:
Test 1
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 7.5'
Can Size: large to small
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

Test 9:
Test 1
MP3: 10
Amp: 8
String length: 5'
Can Size: large to medium
Gain: Max
Mic: Contact

The challenges I faced while recording were as follows:
  1. The smallest size of can made a popping sound if pulled to hard
  2. My dad held the cans this time, so there were no problems with clunking
Possible causes of error:
  1. How I held the cans.
  2. Track "large to small" must be redone due to software glitch
