  1. Albert the Elevator A Rube-Goldberg Extravaganza

  2. Our Team • Blake Adams • Jewett Moss • Matt Jones • Caroline Sneed

  3. Rube-Goldberg Device Start: marble down a series of tubing Marble knocks golf ball off of platform Golf ball falls into cup 1 Cup 1 lifts cup 2 through pulley Now lever is unbalanced and weighted bottle falls End: 1 kg weight is lifted through the pulley

  4. Conservation of Energy • GPEmarble→KEmarble • Elastic collision: KEmarble→ KEgolf ball • Decrease of GPEcup1 & Increase of GPEcup2 • GPEbottle →KEbottle

  5. Construction & Design Issues • Switched from plastic cups to bottles • Change the height of the lever • Change the height of the pulley • Lifting weight in 10 seconds

  6. Conclusions • Our setup was successful • We witnessed Physics at work : Dropping a marble → lifted a 1kg weight • We used teamwork to accomplish a task
