The Most Amazing Waterslide of All Time

Have you ever wanted to go down the world's tallest waterslide? Well it's pretty amazing it is the most daring waterslide of all time. It's 17 stories high and goes 65 miles per hour which is incredibly fast to me and I certainly wont be going on this ride. You have to walk up 264 steps to even reach the top, then you and your 3 friends are put into a raft and set loose on your journey. Then there is a conveyer belt that brings the rafts back up from  your insane ride which was designed by Jeff Henry. The Verruckt is a waterslide that is taller than Niagara Falls and is in Kansas City, Missouri. The Verruckt is different from the Brazil "Insano" because it is 14 stories high and the Verruckt is 3 more stories higher than that. Jeff is called the "Wizard of Water" because he is amazing and responsible for creating other attractions. The reason I would like to go on this ride because it looks insanely incredible, and scare as heck.



  • Extensive- I had to go down an extensive roller coaster at Six flags last year.
  • Hurtling- I watched the hurtling snow fall down the mountain.
  • Illuminate- When people tell me that I'm pretty the smile illuminates on my face.
  • Mulling- I have to mull over an idea when it is a big decision I have to make for myself.
  • Propelled- I was propelled from my friend on doing her homework because she gave me 5 dollars.
  • Radical- My company was going through a radical change to the policy.
  • Speculate- I had to speculate of the question that the lady was giving me because I didn't understand her.
  • Surpasses- I have surpassed my sisters in doing sports.
  • Welded- My grandpa had to weld these two pieces of metal so we could fix the part on a car.
World's tallest, fastest waterslide to open in Kansas
 
   

Mico Windmills

Guantanamo Bay Windmills
 

This paragraph that I'm going to be writing about is Micro Windmills and how they will charge our devices. They are measuring about 1.8 millimeters which is really small, and could be fitted on single grain of rice. He figures if the size is reduced so small that a thousand could fit up in the sleeve of a phone case comfortably. There is a rotor that is mounted on a 2mm tall tower, and the fact the it is 100 microns thick, it is able to up hold the strong winds. They wanted to keep the cost low, so in order to do that they have to set up a production process which is similar to the one they use for  manufacture semiconductors. The problem I feel they are going to run into is that their isn't enough energy generated to talk for a long period of time, so it would able to send emergency messages; since they are so small in size.



  • Arduous- I had to climb up an arduous path up the hill.
  • Assert- I asserted my innocence for not stealing her pencil.
  • Contemplated- In the future I had to contemplate on where I am going to live.
  • Durable- My phone is very durable because I have dropped it multiple times, and it hasn't cracked once.
  • Harnessing- You have to have on a harness before you go down a zip line
  • Patent- You have to have this patent in order to convey legal title to public land.
  • Prototype- I am making a prototype of what I want my room to look like.
  • Wafer- I have to use a wafer to single transistors or integrated-circuit components are formed
  • Withstand- I have to withstand by temptation on asking that really cute boy out.
