THESE MACHINES ARE CRAZY! These launchers utilize the principles of simple machines. What simple machine do catapults use? Put in your notebook 1.1.2 Simple Machines and Mechanical Advantage
Bill teaches John how to take advantage of mechanical leverage so that he can lift more than 10 pounds and perhaps teach Billy Quan a lesson next time they run into each other. 1. What were ALL of the simple machines he explained? 2. What are the formulas for IMA & AMA? 1.1.2 Rube Goldberg Machine
Compound machines can be both practical and fun. This is an example of a Rube Goldberg machine turned into music video. The video is comprised of over 700 household items and is over one-half mile. Give at least three examples of simple machines used in the video 1.1.2 Rube Goldberg Machine
This WebRidesTV video is a commercial made by Honda to showcase the Honda Accord. It is a two minute video that shows Honda Accord parts interacting with each other similar to a Rube Goldberg machine List simple machines that you think are in a clothes dryer. 1.1.3 Manual Transmission
This is a video of a manual transmission and how it works. This shows an important use for gear ratios. Each gear in a transmission has a set gear ratio for a reason. 1st gear will have a much higher gear ration than 5th or 6th gear. What is the gear ratio when 1st gear is engaged? 1.1.6 The Amazing Do Nothing Machine
The Do Nothing Machine, built by Lawrence Wahlstrom, plus stationary engines by Rudy Kouhoupt at the end. Craftsmanship Museum, Carlsbad, CA. Carbon Fiber
. Carbon fiber is the common name used to refer to plastic reinforced by a graphite textile. Carbon fiber is very expensive, but has a fantastic weight-to-strength ratio. Attempts to put it into mass production have so far failed, due to inadequate demand, the customized nature of most carbon fiber parts, and a lack of skilled craftsmen. The material is employed in high-quality cars, boats, bicycles, and planes, including popular Formula One racecars. 1. How many carbon fibers are in each strand? 2. What gives carbon fiber its strength? 1.2.1 The Future is Here - Renewable Energy
This is the Rawlemon Spherical Solar Energy Generator discovered by German architect André Broessel. This is 35% more efficient than current solar panels and is able to operate on cloudy days. It concentrates light by 10,000 times. 1. How many times does this concentrate light? 2. How many cell phone users are there in the world? 1.2.3 Electrical Engineering
