Hero's Engine, class data.

Last week we studied Hero of Alexandria and his invention the Aeolipile. 
We made some out of soda cans and tested to see if we could get the maximum number of revolutions out of a can full of water!  



Here is our class data.  The most common number of holes was 5 and the highest number of spins for 5 holes was 18!  

Wow I wonder how Libby made her Hero Engine get 81 revolutions!  Head to her blog and find out!  

What other results in our class data surprised you?
