Transcript of The RG Stamper
Introduction
• Stamp
• String and fasteners
• Two mousetraps
Goal:• Rube-Goldberg stamp device that uses
projectile motion, conservation of energy and conservation of momentum
Parts:• Total cost: ~$13
• .75” particle board
• Sling shot
• Marbles
Process
1 – Sling Shot• Uses elastic potential energy• Converts to potential energy• Launches ball into air
2 – Funnel and tube• Converts potential energy to kinetic energy• Falls down tube
3 – Collision and end of tube• Conserves momentum• Moves up 3.25” through tube
Process (continued)
4 – Mouse trap triggered• Tension in string• Pulls string through pulley system• String pulls nail out
5 – Stamper• Elastic potential energy to kinetic energy• Stored energy in mousetrap
6 – Paper stamped
