EGR 393 Week 8
Rube Goldberg Take 2!
Pictures of our Circuit!
Video 1: Mechanical is NOT Cooler than Electrical!
In this first video, we turned the voltage up to 10 volts which automatically triggered the relay. We were trying to figure out a way to drop something onto the dominoes and trigger the domino effect. We had everything set up, except how we would trigger the dominoes...
Video 2: Our Rube Goldberg Circuit
Video 2: Our Rube Goldberg Circuit
This is an up close video of the circuit we made. We have a temperature sensor that triggers the relay, which drops the brick onto the dominoes, which then triggers the pressure sensor and lights up our group number.
Video 3: Our First Problem with the Circuit
This was the first problem with the circuit that we encountered. When the motor started spinning it actually brought the brick into the motor and stead of away and dropping it onto the bricks. We realized that we had to just slightly hang the brick off of the motor so it spun out and dropped when the relay triggered it.
Video 4: It works!
Everything had finally started working on this try. We had carefully hung the brick onto the motor, and the dominoes had all fallen. The only thing we should have done differently was make the temperature sensor trigger the relay with the warmth of our fingers instead of the heat gun.

There really isn't a whole lot for me to comment on right now. There is currently a single 10 second video! However, based on the title in the blog I see that this is your second attempt at making a functioning circuit. I recommend rebuilding the circuit from last week, week 7. That incorporates a majority of the required items. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteI think we can use any circuit for this week it isn't necessary to use the same circuit from week 7

I like the idea of showing your team number at the end. Also, your circuit wasn't complicated as ours which makes it easy to know if there is an issue in the circuit, for our project we used week 7 circuit and we added other things to it. In the final video I don't see the LED light in your circuit which was one of the requirements. Also, there is no explanation of how you set up the circuit or what you used. other than that your Rube Goldberg was great.
ReplyDeleteActually we forget to put the led in the video but in the show day we presented it for doctor kaya

I like the simplicity of your circuit as well, however it seems it is missing some of the required components. I would personally say that the digital circuit took the most time to figure out, besides maybe how the next circuit will be triggered. What do you think?

You did showed me the LED during the demo and you could have recorded another video with it. Otherwise, good job.
