D.E.A.N.Device Enabling Ample Nonsense E2-6 Troy Eckleberry FareedYasin Adele Poole Anna Green
A pin is pulled releasing a projectile. • The projectile hits a target on one end of an axle. • The opposite end of the axle triggers another, similar axle. • Smaller axle knocks a ball into a tube. • The ball collides with a ball of identical mass at the bottom of the tube. • Both balls roll on an open PVC pipe and then • fall into a catcher attached to the bottom of a banner displaying UT spirit. • collide with Step 1 of the next group’s device. Steps
Trajectory: pin releases key chain • Conservation of angular momentum: axles rotate • Conservation of energy: golf ball rolls down tube • Collision: golf ball hits second golf ball • Torque: banner opens Concepts
Trajectory: • Torque: • Collision: • Conservation of Energy: • Conservation of Angular Momentum: Calculations Overview
Triggering projectile • Cost dictated lighter materials • Accuracy and precision of projectile • Structural stability • Triggering successive group (constructing alternate route) Issues
Creativity was necessary to navigate a low budget and various technical difficulties • Team work and good attitudes were crucial to success • Applying the concepts is not always easy but very do-able and fun! Conclusions
