1. 1. RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE Made by Reuben Owen Xavier and Bailey The cooler
2. 2. THE TASK The task was that we had to make an Rube Goldberg Machine the conditions were that our machine must be planed, our machine must do something, plans must be detailed as possible including annotations and measurements, our machine must be in the space of one cardboard box, our rube Goldberg machine must have the amount of elements equal to or more than the amount of people in the group and our rube Goldberg machine must have the amount of simple machines equal to or more than the people in people in the group.
3. 3. THE DESIGN AND PLANNING When we were planning our machine we thought about the conditions and we had a small problem with the simplicity of our design soon after a few drawings we finally wrote an finished design.
4. 4. THE START Our rube Goldberg machine starts with a toy car rolling down a large incline plane hitting a lever but we were originally going to use a bowling ball but we were not able to make our support strong enough to hold the weight of the bowling ball.
5. 5. THE PULLBACK CAR AND VOLVO This part of the machine involves a pull back car and a smaller matchbox car it works like this the large toy car hits the lever that triggers a small matchbox car to hit a pencil that is stopping a pull back car from moving the pencil is used as a lever causing the car to move forward and hit a lever.
6. 6. THE PINBALL MACHINE The pinball machine was originally going to be a thing that has multiple balls and a few holes in the ground and each ball would fall into a hole an the balls behind it would roll over the ball in front of it. But this was to hard to build and had no simple machines so we swiched to a pinball machine witch was simpler to make.
7. 7. THE STAIRWAY TO COOLING This part of the machine has dominos going up some wooden stairs that bailey made Xavier had a go at making some but his measurements were 10 centimeters short of the measurements required. It was hard to think of a way to get energy going uphill. We decided that dominos would be the most efficient way of getting energy going uphill. (these dominos are close to impossible to set up.)
8. 8. THE FAN This part of the machine turns on the fan. The dominos hit a car held in place with masking tape the car hits a 50 gram weight that is connected to a short plastic stick taped to the fan dial so it turns when the car hits it.
9. 9. EVALUATION I think that my group has worked well through all the problems tat we have faced and have achieved and learnt many things. My group was the only group that managed to move energy up hill. I am very happy with my rube Goldberg machine and the way we solved our problems.
