Rube Goldberg Machines

Like an artist’s palette is full of different colors, I am individual with many different interests, hobbies, personalities, and abilities. My personalities are as bold as a bright yellow. My hobbies and interests are all similar shades of each other, and my abilities are united like one streak of paint. All these colors combine on one canvas to create me, Srivinay Tummarakota.

One ¼ inch diameter red rod with slots at either end, one unfinished ⅔ inch wooden spool with 8 holes around the side and one ¼ inch hole in the center, and a ⅔ inch plastic orange connecting rod. The plastic piece was newer than the wooden pieces. The red rod fit into all the holes in the wooden spool, as well as the ends of the short, plastic connector piece. The possibility of fitting the pieces together in numerous configurations leads one to believe this is an open-ended construction toy. Tinker Toys were developed in the progressive era. In a time of industry and invention, Tinker Toys nourished children’s creative drive.

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.

Jerry West’s article “Robots on Earth” talks about robots that, unlike books or movies, aid people simplifying their lives and health. As robots don’t need specific conditions; they are perfect for performing jobs that might be harmful to humans. Like the R2 humanoid at the International Space Station, which completes dangerous and mundane tasks for astronauts and frees their time. They also boost our health; they are working with scientists to create an exoskeleton for quadriplegic people. Robots aren’t evil, they’re useful machines that have so much to offer and make our lives safer.lives

Our group had met several times before deciding on a final design and date to accomplish our Rube Goldberg Machine. We had each agreed to meet at 7:30pm on a Thursday evening, which worked best for the entire group. Two members had to work late, but we were still committed to making the time originally proposed. However, that night as our team began to arrive, we found it difficult to contact our final group member. He was in charge of bringing string, which was crucial to the development of our machine. Instead of getting frustrated, angry, or acting irrationally, the remaining four members began assembling the pieces of our project that did not require rope. At the time, it did not seem to make much difference, but reflecting back we realized how much time was saved by problem solving immediately, as opposed to waiting patiently on the final group member to begin our assembly process. By 8:30pm he had arrived, and we could start working on the remainder of our assignment. By this point, we had made a water funnel, arranged our domino pieces, and taped any pieces of equipment together that made sense for the final product of our machine.

Are first step for the machine was for a pice of cardboard out of the box and the hair dryer blew the baseball down a ramp. This had mechanical, electric, and thermal energy. It is mechanical energy because we pulled the puce of card board out and turn the hairdryer on using are own force. It is electric energy because the hairdryer uses electricity to blow air to

Suppressed sexuality and coy, coquettish femininity are nothing new to the world of women. Women are told to be polite, appreciative, and at all costs, protect their ‘womanhood,’ also known as their sexuality. Yet, women for ages have been fighting this oppression and pushing the limits of their physical roles as sexual beings; ancient Greek women used sex toys to illicit pleasure, and Asian women have been doing the same for a thousand years. There have been vast improvements in women’s sex toys, but exposure of them has been continually stifled by the overwhelming tone of patriarchy. By analyzing the vibrator in Wendy Griswold’s cultural diamond I will show how the agents of the vibrator patented women’s

Robots are re-programmable machines that are capable of movement in order to perform a specific task. These robots can improve communities and perform tasks that humans are not able to. A Redbot is capable of movement to complete a task and can be programmed, thus, it is a robot. The assignment is to design and create an autonomous Redbot prototype which performs a service for a certain audience. Therefore, the Redbot will also improve the quality of life and affect social, political, or economic implications/conclusions.

Rude Goldberg a man with bounds a man who made the ordinary not so ordinary. He was a man of simple but extraordinary task and founder of the Rube Goldberg machines. What is a Rube Goldberg machine? A Rube Goldberg machine is a machine that makes ordinary task complicated for example the not so simple alarm clock which went through many steps to get a final task ringing the alarm clock. Step one was to have a bird come through the window and eat the worm, and when the bird eats the worm he pulls the string. The bird pulling on the string causes the gun to go off, that gun shoots a balloon. This drops a brick on a bulb of atomizer, and shooting perfume breaking it on a sponge. As the sponge gains weight it lowers which pulls another string.

Part 1: Description of the Enigma machine and how it works. During World War II, the german army used a machine called Enigma. This machine would encrypt any text you wanted. The Enigma had been created by a german engineer after World War I. This machine is made up of a 26 key keyboard, a light board, a plug board, three to four rotors, a reflector and a battery.

Have you had the experience of having an annoying noise at work or in class, maybe when taking a test or during a meeting? Doesn't it just drive you crazy? If you haven't you should know it's very annoying, especially when it's a fidget spinner. They create a distraction in class that makes you lose concentration if your not using it the right way. They are a problem, I think that the school should ban fidget spinners, and replace them with fidget cubes or rubber bands for kids who need something to concentrate with.

Fidget spinners are the newest trend that kids are obsessed with. However, these toys have many negative qualities to them. Kids should not have fidget spinners. Fidget spinners, while originally made to help kids with medical problems like ADHD, are now a distraction. They also are dangerous. Children all over the U.S. have been sent to hospitals because of incidents involving these toys. Not only are they a choking hazard, but they are overhyped by kids everywhere. The children who actually need them can not get to them because they are sold out everywhere. These dangerous, distracting, and over-hyped toys should be taken off of shelves immediately.

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.

What is the Enigma Machine: The enigma machine was a coding device that was used by the Germans during World War 2 to write, send, and decipher encrypted messages.

A hydraulic robotic arm, operating using water must be designed, built, and be tested in approximately two and a half weeks. The entire project consists of detailed design sketches with project notes, numbered parts made on a CAD program, bill of materials and a working prototype.
