Experiment Results
- 1. Moisture test To inquire into how clothes dry we need to know how much moisture is in the fabric of certain areas. Areas that bludge and over lap will take longer to evaporate and dry.
- 2. MDF Wet sock on MDF 2 nd hour Following morning 1 st hour The MDF was slow to react at first however, it gave the most distinct display of how the moisture is clustered. Based on the texture of the sock, we can tell that the moisture hugs the ribs of the elastic in the neck of the sock. In between these ribs the are less layers of fabric meaning the moisture evaporates quicker.
- 4. Jelly Crystals The jelly crystals also depicted the moisture levels well both in location and the amount of moisture. As you can see in the diagrams, the highest moisture levels are reflected through the darkness in of the jelly as this is the area of jelly that absorbed the most moisture. The MDF also displayed similar characteristics in that the boards began to swell according to the length of time it was exposed. However, the swelling was to minute to document.
- 5. The high spots in the sock on the right are seen reflected in the jelly on the left. You can also see the jelly at the top is darker than the rest of the jelly indicating a higher level of moisture.
- 7. Wet sock on Kitty litter 2 nd hour Following morning 1 st hour Kitty Litter Unfortunately the kitty litter did its job properly and obsorbed the moisture from the sock. However, there wasn’t much change from then on as it began to clump together
