The K.A.T. Telescope

The K.A.T. Telescope

• The Kinetic Adaptable Telescope

2
Inventions to Consider

• The invention that most intrigued me was the
  Automatic Personalized House. This was a house
  with millions of computers inside to do your
  whims. I liked it because I liked the fact that
  if I wanted to, I could order my house around
  from a single remote. House, do my homework!
• The craziest invention I learned about was
  the Surf n Surf. This was a computer attached
  to a surf board using a supporter. It wasnt
  practical because you could die trying to use a
  computer in water.

The Expert
I chose to be in the Space and Technology field.
I chose this field because I love technology (my
dad can back me up on this) and I am very into
Space.

My Inspiration

• My inspiration to do this invention for my
  project was my class at the Summer Enrichment
  Program at UVA during the summer of 2006. I went
  to a certain class about Space and the ongoing
  journey to discover its secrets. This made me
  think about how man has always been curious about
  the black hole. And so I made the KAT Telescope.

Through the Centuries

• 19th Century- The Electric Telescope. I chose
  this because it was believed that this was the
  first telescope ever made that functioned with
  electricity.
• 20th Century- Lohmann Brothers Telescope- 1920.
  This telescope was special, as the ones that are
  left are restricted to museums.
• 21st Century- The Hubble Telescope. This
  telescope takes pictures from outer space and
  astronauts retrieve the photos from the
  satellite that takes them.

The Primary Document I chose was the layout for
the Electric Telescope. It shows what the
inventors ideas were when they were creating the
telescope. Notes for the electric telescope,

My Invention

• I have invented the K.A.T. Telescope.
• The Kinetic Adaptable Telescope is supposed to be
  sent into space, unmanned, and enter a black
  hole.
• It will take pictures and then will send the
  pictures to a nearby satellite.
• I hope that one day I will actually create the
  KAT Telescope, and it will be successful on its
  journey to discover the Unknown. If it is a
  dream, then I can make it so.
• I havent figured out if there is a way to
  retrieve the Telescope from the black hole yet,
  though.
