Exploring the "Move It" Machine: A Creative Energy Journey

The "Move It" Machine, presented by Josh Elliott, Shanel Crawford-Harris, Weston Iler, and Breana Harvell, demonstrates the principles of energy and motion. This intricate setup features marbles traveling through tubing, which collide with a golf ball, initiating a series of reactions. The golf ball rolls down ramps, activating a teeter-totter mechanism. Ultimately, this setup triggers a battery to release a spool, stopping the "MOVE IT" song on a laptop. Key concepts include conservation of energy, torque, and collision dynamics. Challenges encountered involve the size of components and balance issues.

  1. THE “MOVE IT” MACHINE Presented by…… Josh Elliott Shanel Crawford-Harris Weston Iler Breana Harvell

  2. The “Move It” Machine How does it work??? • Marble is blown through the angular tubing • Marble collides w/ the golf ball causing it to • roll • Golf ball rolls down two ramps & falls into • the teeter-totter • The ball weighs down the tetter-totter • causing it to flip 90° to the right, releasing • the tetter-totter holder, and weighing down • the wood • The battery sitting on top of the wood is the • counterweight needed to hold the spool in • place • The wood then releases the spool and • allows king Julian, in the netting, to stop the • “MOVE IT” song on the laptop

  3. Summary of Energy & Equations • Conservation of energy ½ Ι ωi2 + mg hi + ½ m vi2 = ½ Ι ωf2 + mghf+ ½ m vf2 • Elastic Collision m1 v1 i+ m2 v2i = m1 v1f + m2 v2f • Torque ΣΤ = Ια = m r2 α

  4. Issues/ Problems Size and shape of the tubing  lead to problems w/ marble transportation Surface and weight of the wooden balance  w/o sand paper and a D battery, it would not hold the spool in place Weight of King Julian and platform  he needed more weight and a wider platform in order to hit the key on the laptop

  5. Conclusion • Concepts Used • Torque • Angular Momentum • Center of Mass • Conservation of Energy • Collision
