Roller Coaster Design Group C: James Tomashot, Alex Styborski, Roberto Samaniego, Peter Schaaf
Overview • Brainstorming ideas • Initial paper design • Final design • Final test • Design problems and solutions
Brainstorming ideas • Double vertical loop • Upward horizontal that went through the double vertical loop • Downward horizontal • Bump • Straight away
Initial design feature list • Double vertical loop • Double horizontal downward • Turn in each direction • Bump • Straight Away • These features were all kept for the final design
Final design feature list • Double vertical loop • Double horizontal loop • Turns in both directions • Bump • Two straight away
Initial paper design calculations • (Insert table from IPD)
Initial paper design other calculations • Minimum velocity at the top of vertical loop #1: V = (gr)1/2 = (9.8*0.06m)1/2 = 0.7668 (m/s) • Actual velocity at the top of vertical loop #1: 2.1445 (m/s) • Minimum velocity at the top of vertical loop #2: V = (gr)1/2= (9.8*0.06m)1/2 = 0.7668 (m/s) • Actual velocity at the top of vertical loop #2: 1.138 (m/s) • Maximum velocity over the bump so no separation with track occurs: V = (gr)1/2 = (9.8*0.0508m)1/2
Final design calculations • (Insert table: in progress)
Final design other calculations • (in progress)
Final test • We received a 103/100 • All three test runs • The last two yielded the same results
Design Problems • Losing to much speed • Horizontal loops
