This project by Nick Jones, Dan Williamson, Alex Rand, and Mitchell Rieger focuses on an innovative Air Hogs device utilizing principles of physics to create an engaging experience. Key concepts include energy conservation, projectile motion, and torque, as the device employs a marble and NERF gun to demonstrate these phenomena. Constructing the device posed challenges, such as supporting its weight, dealing with wood imperfections, and maintaining dimensions with limited funds, ultimately showcasing creativity in engineering solutions.

AIR HOGS Created BY: Nick Jones Dan Williamson Alex rand Mitchell rieger
Concepts used in device • Conservation of Energy • Used due to gravity starting the marble on it’s course • Center of Mass • The marble knocks the bottle caps off their center of gravity • Projectile Motion • NERF gun shoots dart at target • Torque • The pulley spins when the golf ball lands in the cup
Construction Issues • Some of the main issues were: • Supporting overall weight of device • Wood imperfections • Insufficient funds • Making sure it stayed within required dimensions • Readily available materials were already taken
