Team Introduction Ben Hoptroff, Philip Alier, George Threadgill, Evan Richards
The Machine • Remove stopper • Weight slides down tube • Pulls the string • Gear conversion • Lifts weight
Stored Energy in Device • Mgh • Mass of the counterweight • G is the constant of gravity • H is the height of the highest point of the tube.
Design/Construction issues • Concept • Changing from old designs • The screw hit the wood whilst turning • Overcoming static bond of counterweight • Releasing the counterweight • Finding a counterweight
Conclusion • We used gravity and gear conversions to help us lift a one kilogram weight one meter off the ground within ten seconds.
