The Zach Wolfe Band

The Zach Wolfe Band, featuring members B.J. Byers, Matt "Brown" Brown, and Thomas Thurman, presents a creative exploration of energy conversions demonstrated through a playful experiment with a resting book, seesaaws, and a flying elephant. This engaging project illustrates how to activate a light by utilizing the gravitational potential energy of a falling book to manipulate a seesaw system, ultimately rolling a lacrosse ball down a ramp. Through practical construction challenges and an inventive approach, this experiment emphasizes ingenuity and resourcefulness.

Presentation Transcript

  1. The Zach Wolfe Band Members include: B.J. Byers, Matt “Brown” Brown and Thomas Thurman

  2. Dumbo’s Light Switch

  3. Energy Conversions Book starts at a rested position falls on 1st seesaw Mass of falling book raises Flying elephant on 1st seesaw Rope attached to elephant pulls down hanger, which unbalances 2nd seesaw Mass of lacrosse ball on unbalanced seesaw allows ball to drop on ramp Ball rolls down ramp and turns on light

  4. Construction Problems • Ball- mass and movement • Limited material • Lots if moveable parts • Seesaws • Solutions • Ball-lacrosse ball and half a can of Coke Zero • Got wood and light • Taped down parts held others down with weight • Balanced seesaws and rigged it so material stayed on

  5. Conclusion Material • Book, hanger, and scraps of material: Free • Light: $3.00 • Flying Elephant: $2.00 • More Wood: $3.00 Turning on a light by throwing a book down. Priceless
