A hands-on engineering and teamwork challenge

What is an RG Machine? A compound machine – Many simple machines connected together The definition of a Rube Goldberg Machine is: a compound machine that accomplishes by complex means what could be done simply

What is a simple machine? A machine with few or no moving parts. Simple machines make work easier.

Examples of Simple Machines – Lever – Pulley – Gear – Wedge – Wheel & axle – Screw – Spring – Inclined Plane

Lever

3,000 BC

Lever

Pulley

Gears Bevel Gear Spiral Bevel Gear Car Parts… Rear Differential

Wedge

Wheel & Axle

Screw

Spring

Inclined Plane

Famous examples Let’s look at some example of very complex RG machines Pay close attention to what goes on in the machines Notice almost everything is a simple machine

Examples of RG Machines –2D Photography OK GO’s awesome video Purdue’s World Record Breaking Machine2D Photography OK GO’s awesome video Purdue’s World Record Breaking Machine

Who was Rube Goldberg? Watch the man himself!!!

Project objectives You will form small groups to design, build, and test a small scale Rube Goldberg Machine You will examine the vocabulary associated with simple and compound machines You will examine the mathematical formulas associated with the physics of simple and compound machines Your group will present and test your machine

What you will need Your responsibility: – Specific materials for your machine Provided: – “random materials” for your machine – Tools

TODAY You will form your groups You will “name” your group Create a rough draft of your logo Begin to brainstorm ideas
