In class today we created a Rube Goldburg. That is a type of invention that is really complicated just to do an easy thing like turning on a lightbulb. We had a lot of random ideas to make this thing. First we had marbles fall down a ramp and then they hit a bouncy ball witch landed on a fan button.Then the fan turned on and blew a balloon holding a wieght across the room. Then the balloon popped on a nail.That sent the wieght down on a spring then the wieght bounced on to a ramp and slides down the ramp.Then the wieght holds a wire on a batterie and electricity goes through the wire making the light bulb turn on.My partener and I only drew it out on a piece of paper and typed the energy transfers on the computer(shown to your left).We did not actually make the invention just like the rest of the class.I still had a really fun time!
