How it was measured Ruler

Scanning and tracing

A ruler is used to measured both when the floaties is inflated and deflated. The measuring thape is used to measure the floatieto get a more accurate reading when it is inflated.

The floaties is scanned. It is then measured using the measuring tool in Adobe Photoshop.

How it works

As air is bllown into the floatie, a high pressure of air flows into the nozzle of the floaties and into the cavity. As the cavity begins to be filled with air, it causes the floatie to inflate. This is because the air particles inside it. exerts pressure onto the wall.

For the floatie to inflate, it needs a cavity or space inside it so that when air imoves into it, it allows the cavity to be filled with air causing it to infla te.

The material of the floatie has to ensure that air doesn’t pass through it easily so when iair is filled into it, tha air doesn’t escape.

The seam joining the materails of the floatie has to be tight so that air doesn’t escape from the floatie.
