Team 3: “The Quick-E”

Team 3's "The Quick-E" project showcases an intricate Rube Goldberg machine designed to demonstrate principles of physics, including conservation of energy, projectile motion, and torque. The setup features a cup that initiates a series of actions, utilizing mouse traps and a pulley system to transform initial motion into various energy forms. Despite challenges such as the sinker dropping and issues with the mouse traps, the team's effective collaboration and thorough brainstorming led to a successful demonstration of mechanical principles and teamwork.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Team 3: “The Quick-E” • Bryant Harrang • -Freshman • -Biomedical Engineering • Emily Berry • -Junior • -Biomedical Engineering • Ross Daniel • -Sophomore • -Mechanical Engineering • Justin Melton • -Freshman • -Nuclear Engineering (listed from left to right)

  2. Overview • Team 2 tilts a cup, and a sinker rolls out and sets off a mouse trap. • The mouse trap throws a sack and the sack hits a vertical board. • The board is on a hinge so it falls and strikes a wheel. • The wheel spins with enough torque to set off another mouse trap. • The second mouse trap breaks a tooth pick, which lets free a string. • The string holds a cup which drops and closes scissors and turns on a light at the same time.

  3. Conservation of Energy Projectile Motion

  4. Conservation of Angular Momentum Torque:

  5. Conservation of Energy

  6. Problems • Problems with sinker dropping • Problems with mousetrap • Weight of wood on swivel • Pulley system

  7. Conclusion • Team Work • Reliable team members • Good design before starting (brainstorming) • Trail and error
