Basics What is it? Rube Goldberg device ○ One input force = one task ○ Inefficient and complicated Bill of Materials Concepts used Torque/ Rotational Motion Spring Force Potential/Kinetic Energy Translational Energy
3
Building Process Tools used Circular saw Power Drill Jigsaw Hammer/Nails Tape Measurer
4
Process Golf ball lies on top of a board 0.2286 meters Trim piece connects to the top and to the bottom with another board at a height of 0.0635m. The golf ball will roll to the bottom of the trim piece with a velocity of 2.18m/sec. and strike a shaft (0.0635m) Shaft speed = 34.3 rad/sec Second ball will hit a block Block speed = 1.01m/s
5
Process (Cont.) Block falls over and starts dominoes Dominoes speed =.54 m/s Dominoes trigger mousetrap Mousetrap releases paperclip which allows banner to unfurl.
6
Calculations / Issues Issues Absence of friction or losses of energy Input force varies each time as well as direction of force Ramps not sturdy ○ Nailed ramp Paperclip did not release ○ Changed angle of pull
7
Summary After issues were solved, device worked fairly efficiently Fun creative use of common objects Some issues could not be resolved but we found ways around them
