Water-Powered Rube Goldberg Device: The TA Destroyer

The Water-Powered TA Destroyer, created by members of the Jason Ross Fan Club, showcases a complex Rube Goldberg device that utilizes gravity and water energy to trigger a series of mechanical actions. The process begins with water, which activates a see-saw that releases ball bearings into a cup, ultimately leading to the opening of a door. This ingenious design illustrates principles of engineering, energy conversion (PE = KE), and the balance of forces. It serves as a fun and educational example of practical problem-solving and creative design.

  1. Rube Goldberg Device The Water-Powered TA Destroyer By the Jason Ross Fan Club

  2. Team Members Jason Ross Sam Donald Drew Hughes Jimmy Maddox

  3. 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.

  4. Energy Converstions • PEi = KEf • PEi = KEf

  5. 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)

  6. Conclusion • Practical application of engineering principles. • Creative design with a desired goal. • Problem solving skill development.

  7. THE END
