Rube Goldberg Machine Hypothesis

On a larger scale, the example of a Lego made motors efficiency can relate to that of a modern day car and the efficiency / energy waste that comes from it. The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fossil fuel mixes with air in a chamber of the operational fluid flow circuit.

In 2010, a nanodragster was built at Rice University, which was about 50,000 times thinner than a human hair, shown in Figure 1.2. The structure of this miniscule vehicle has two big rear wheels made of 60 carbon atoms for a strong grip and smaller front wheels made of the compound, p-carborane(American Chemical Society, 2010). Also, the chassis were created with aligned hydrocarbon molecules, phenylene-ethynylene. This specific structure allowed the experimenters to move the nanocar when heated to 200 degrees with a speed of 0.014 millimeters per hour (American Chemical Society, 2010). Currently, this nanomachine is being studied and improved to create more useful nanobots in the medical field.

To create a mousetrap car and measure its performance. We will also see where force and energy is impacting on the performance, for example friction will impact on the cars performance as it generates heat and slows to car down thus meaning that the car may not travel as far as it should. Another force that is demonstrated in testing of the car kinetic energy, without kinetic energy the car would not travel at all.

Doing laundry, studying, eating, knowing how to manage time, being social, dealing with bad choices, and so many others are all things we have to deal with when going off to college for the first time (Pennock Title). Some of these are simple everyday things that come natural to us, like breathing, but some can be much more difficult than others. One that is rather trying is finding time to get your laundry done. Often times it’s not finding the time to do your laundry, but the resources to do so. I don’t mean if a machine is available or not, but if a machine is working or not. Having problems with machine functionality seems to be a common trend when it comes to university life.

A company called Rossum’s Universal Robots makes robots for the world, but Helena (The President's daughter) is trying to convince the robots to revolt against Domino's cruelty but ends up marrying him. 10 years later and barely anyone is giving birth to children anymore because robots can replace everything, so Helena burns the formula to create robots in hope that no more robots will be made an takeover the human race. The robots end up attacking the factory and kill everyone except Alquist thinking that he can find the robot formula again, a while later Alquist hasn't discovered the formula yet and he starts to fear oblivion as the robots only have a lifespan of 20-30 years. In the end, two robots named Primus and Helena fall in love and Alquist believes that they have souls so he tells them to go off and produce life, and then Alquist died feeling hopeful of the future.

Batteries store energy in chemical form. They release energy by pumping electrons’ through wires from the minus pole to the plus pole. Devices inbetween convert this energy to another form, Efficieny- e.motor=85%, combustion= 20%

Colin Furze, British plumber, turned inventor, is so well known for his videos demonstrating his crazy inventions that he’s a regular on Science Channel’s Outrageous Acts of Science. He’s created everything from a pulse-jet powered bicycle to a ten hp motorized baby stroller. His latest creation, however, may be his magnum opus: With a little help from Ford Motors, Furze has managed to build a real, functioning Homemade Hoverbike.

The imagine that is displayed in the textbook is called the Rube Goldberg Machine. It was invented by a cartoonist named, Jeffrey Coolidge, whom was known for displaying simple tasks in complex ways. The image presented in the textbook, is showing how to turn on a light switch, by moving necessary objects with certain amount of force to be triggered. One must first set the obstacle into action for the effect to happen.

The balloon powered race car will be powered by the balloon. The balloon will be blown into and the straw will be the source of the air going into the balloon and then pinched so there is no release of air, then release the air, measure the distance and speed of the car when air is released. This uses the three Newton laws and they are when an object is at rest it stays at rest and an object is in motion it stays in motion in a straight line at constant speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, the next is the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the force applied, the last is every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Rostow identifies five stages of economic development. The traditional society is characterized by the dominance of agriculture, which is largely at the subsistence level, and the non-realization of potential resources. In the second stage, economic growth begins to speed up. There is an expansion of trade, perhaps an increase in external influences, and an introduction of modern methods of production, which are used along the more traditional techniques. The take off stage occurs when old traditions are finally overcome, and modern industrialized society is born. Investment rates rise from five percent of national income to ten percent, one or more major manufacturers emerge, political and social institutions are

It ignited a novel appeal to all kinds of machines that were being made not only for entertainment purposes but also for use in science and industry.

The toy has uses two main energies, Kinetic and Potential. Potential energy is made by the pulling back of the car. Kinetic is made when after the car is

Electromagnets can turn electrical energy into motion. Likewise the converse is true: they can turn motion into electrical energy.

How far will people go to be obedient? While some people are defiant, most people will go beyond imaginable measures to obey authority. Stanley Milgram conducted an experiment that tested human relations and authority. The experiment was scientifically sound and followed procedures but was very flawed. Milgram’s experiment consisted of an experimenter, a naïve subject, and an actor. The naïve subject is a volunteer who saw a public announcement stating that they would get paid four dollars (plus fifty cent carfare) for an hour of their time. Upon arriving the willing participants were told about the experiment’s process which included shocking a person when they gave wrong answers to a set of memory

The invention of transistors and integrated circuits I the nineteen fifties and sixties, made robotics possible. Compact, reliable electronics and a growing
