Problem: We were asked to create a Rube Goldberg machine. The machine must use 5 of the 9 core technology. The machine must be 1 meter by 1 meter. The video for the machine has to be at least 30 seconds. At the end of the Rube Goldberg machine there must be a message. We could choose to work alone or work with a partner.
Solution: I made a machine to turn on the Television with a hidden message in Turkish on it. I decided to assemble my machine using thermal, material, electrical, optical core technologies to do. I used my phone as a starter which is electrical. Then the phone moved the burning candle under the string and ignited the string which is thermal energy. Evidence: Source: www.rubegoldberg.com Feedback: This project was a little challenging. It was also kind of fun in the end when you get to see your final work and it goes off perfectly after futile attempts. We didn't encounter a lots of problems. Getting enough devices to make the video 30 seconds was a bit challenging. The starting point of the machine failed a lot of times so it was frustrating setting everything up right again. The tennis ball used in the video always caught fire so it was hard trying to not burn down the house. Other than these we didn't have major problems |
