Rube Goldberg Device The Water-Powered TA Destroyer By the Jason Ross Fan Club
Team Members Jason Ross Sam Donald Drew Hughes Jimmy Maddox
Enter: Water-Powered TA Destroyer • Water starts the process. • See-saw hits another see-saw. • Ball bearings drop into a cup. • Cup pulls chain and opens door. • A second ball runs down the PVC pipe and hits the target.
Energy Converstions • PEi = KEf • PEi = KEf
A Few Forces • Before: The sum of the forces equals zero. MG (door) + Friction (door) = MG (cup) • After: MG (cup) overcomes MG (door) + Friction (door)
Conclusion • Practical application of engineering principles. • Creative design with a desired goal. • Problem solving skill development.
