Marble Energy Flag Rube Goldberg Device

The Baconators' inventive Rube Goldberg device uses marbles to raise a flag and sustain energy flow, triggering the next steps in the chain reaction. It involves marbles rolling down PVC pipes, spinning wheels, raising pulleys, and more to execute the elaborate mechanism. The calculated numbers support the design's efficiency, culminating in a successful execution after trials and modifications, followed by a well-deserved visit to Chick Fil A.

  1. The Baconators By: Clifton Blalock Charles Wood Logan Schofield

  2. Over view… • Our object is to use marbles to raise a flag and keep the energy going and start the next Rube Goldberg Device.

  3. How it runs… • Starts with the other groups mouse trap. • That pulls a string to Release marbles down a funnel. • Those in turn roll down PVC pipe to spin a wheel, which will raise our flag.

  4. How it runs…continued… • The marbles will continue to roll down another piece of PVC pipe into a basket. • The basket will drop, which pulls a string to raise another pulley. • This will raise another PVC pipe which will release another marble to roll down and start the next device.

  5. The numbers… • Mgh=1/2mv^2 v=5.43ft/sec • Mgh+1/2mv^2 =1/2mv^2 v=8.667ft/sec • Mv(sin())=8.667ft/sec v=8.667ft/sec • Mgh+1/2mv^2 =1/2mv^2 v=5.065ft/sec • m1v1+m2v2=(m1+m2)v3 v3=2.5975ft/sec • 1/2mv^2 =10.488ft/sec

  6. Conclusion… • After many trails and a few modifications our device and a few runs to Chick Fil A our device was a complete success.
