Rube Goldberg Project
​

​
Rube Goldberg Resources



6 Simple Macines you should use:

​

via GIPHY


The Lever



Levers conserve torque, use this
to your advantage since you
can reduce the force needed by increasing the distance.

via GIPHY


​

The Pulley





Pulleys can change the direction of a forceand reduce the force required(at the cost of increased distance)

via GIPHY





Screw


Converts rotational motion to linear motion.  Yay Archimedes!

via GIPHY



​
Incline Plane


Incline Planes reduce force at the cost of distance....again.

via GIPHY




Wheel and Axle



​A simple machine consisting of an axle to which a wheel is fastened so that torque applied to the wheel winds a rope or chain onto the axle, yielding a mechanical advantage equal to the ratio of the diameter of the wheel to that of the axle.

via GIPHY


Wedge



Basically a portable inclined plane, but this time you shove it into something rather than use it as a ramp.



Here are all 6 simple machines in a Rube Goldberg.  Just watch the first half:
