The Fantam By: Justin Rone, Adam Weiss, Jeremy Hipp, Kelly Griffin Overview 1. Car takes off down Hot Wheels track once it is released by a small piece of wood. 2. Then goes through a loop and is launched and hits a paddle. 3. The paddle hits a Fanta can that is balanced using water and its center of mass. 4. The can then falls down and the water flows out down the PVC chute and into a cup. 5. The cup is attached to two pulleys with string that are connected to the banner. 6. Once the cup is filled with the correct amount of water it descends while pulling up the banner. Walking through the motions Car starts with Gravitational Potential Energy Car starts with Gravitational Potential Energy Picks up Kinetic Energy as it goes through the track Picks up Kinetic Energy as it goes through the track Car travels around loop utilizing circular motion Car travels around loop utilizing circular motion Linear momentum of the car is conserved and creates a torque in the paddle knocking over the can Linear momentum of the car is conserved and creates a torque in the paddle knocking over the can The can is balanced using its center of mass The can is balanced using its center of mass Calculations mgh =.5mv^2 + mgh From point A to B mgh =.5mv^2 + mgh From point A to B This step made sure car was placed high enough This step made sure car was placed high enough Sqrt(2gh) = Vcar Sqrt(2gh) = Vcar This calculates the speed car will leave ramp This calculates the speed car will leave ramp Then we calculated torque to hit the can balanced on its center of mass Then we calculated torque to hit the can balanced on its center of mass Then the cans water pulled the cup down lifting the banner using angular momentum Then the cans water pulled the cup down lifting the banner using angular momentum Difficulties Finding a time that everyone could meet up Finding a time that everyone could meet up Finding the materials needed to build Finding the materials needed to build Limited resources Limited resources Conclusion Overall the project went well and we completed in the time allotted Overall the project went well and we completed in the time allotted The team achieved the goal and created a working Rube-Goldberg Device The team achieved the goal and created a working Rube-Goldberg Device
