Abstract

This Rube Goldberg machine executes seven specific; each last longer that 2 seconds and represents an important topic in physics: elastic collision, inelastic collision, rotational motion, torque, conservation of energy, conservation of momentum, and projectile motion. The biggest constrain was that this entire project has to be built in blender, which means the Rube Goldberg machine must be designed to adapt the physics simulation incorporated in Blender.

Keywords

Physics simulation, Mechanical Analysis, Blender, Rube Goldberg Machine
