This paper explores the mechanism design of a balloon machine representing a vending machine where consumers can select their desired shapes, as well as avoid bursting caused by manual inflation. Inside the machine, balloons are placed on the mechanism designed based on a waterwheel which rotates at a constant speed generated by motion among different sizes of gears. When rotating to the corresponding shaped balloon, the inflator will move under the opening to pull it out from the display point and start to inflate the balloon for the set number of seconds. After the inflation is completed, the glass door will open and the customer can take out their balloon. The main purpose of our development and design of the balloon machine is to improve the general balloon blowing and it is easy to prevent over-exposure and blast. The balloon machine can automatically inflate and detect the blowing time to improve the shortcomings of the balloon’s blast. In this way, it can effectively decrease sudden explosions and the number of frightened people.

Children 6 and 10 years of age and adults were asked how fast a toy car had to be to catch up with another car, the latter moving with a constant speed throughout. The speed change was required either after half of the time (linear condition) or half of the distance (nonlinear condition), and responses were given either on a rating scale (judgment condition) or by actually producing the motion (action condition). In the linear condition, the data patterns for both judgments and actions were in accordance with the normative rule at all ages. This was not true for the nonlinear condition, where children’s and adults’ judgment and also children’s action patterns were linear, and only adults’ action patterns were in line with the nonlinearity principle. Discussing the reasons for the misconceptions and for the action-judgment dissociations, a claim is made for a new view on the development of children’s concepts of time and speed.

In this work, effluent wastewater treated by using cyclopentane-water Clathrate system to treat water contaminates with phenols at concentrations (300, 250, 200, 150, 100 and 50) ppm in order to investigate the capability of process performance. Clathrate or hydrate are strong crystal structures including water (host particles) and little particles (guest particles). The experiments were conducted at different cyclopentane-water volume ratios (1: 2 and 1: 4). The work was done in a 250 ml glass cell with an electric mixer at a constant speed of 280 cycles per minute. Phenol was highest removal percent at 300ppm at 1: 4volume ratio was (92.3%), while the lowest concentration at 50 ppm and 1: 2volume ratio was (55%). Yield and Enrich factor had the highest values at the lowest concentration 50ppm and 1:2 volume ratio were (85% and 2.42) respectively. The technique of the Clathrate proved that it has a high capacity in the separation and achieve high removal percentage compared to other methods at standard conditions when the pressure of 1 atmosphere and temperature higher than the degree of freezing water and less economic costs compared to other methods.
