In my extended essay, I would have considered doing a less broad research task on tires my investigation on the physical mechanics led to no changes in my final conclusion. I believe that if I had to redo the extended essay I would have focused more on induction braking as it is the line of investigation with most ambiguity. this would have allowed me been able to form a more complete conclusion on the viability of induction braking and would have allowed me to further understand the technical limitations behind them. However, I would still justify the exploration of the recycling of tires as it allowed me to fully understand why tires can and should be used as a composite in house building. Although tires have great housebuilding properties, a question that I had after conducting my research was why aren’t tires a more prominent resource used in housebuilding as they are not only cheaper to acquire, there is also a large abundance of them sitting in landfills which are polluting our planet. Through this investigation, I managed to gain a vast amount of knowledge on this topic which I enjoyed more than I would have thought.
