For those of you who don't know, a Rude Goldberg machine is basically a bunch of small simple machines (i.e. lever, wheel, incline plane) combined to achieve a simple task. One example is this really cool one by Honda: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4187430023476942057
Well I need to make one for physics class, and basically I decided to do it without a group ( because I would probably get stuck with some lazy mofos). So I will probably get the help of a few friends and maybe family and build the most kick ass machine possible. Anyone have any idea as to what the machines goal can be, or any types of machines they would like to see put in there....I will make a vid of it when it is all functional...
I want to use... Fire, strings being cut, music/speakers, electricity, incline planes, levers, wheels, and anything else that someone can think of.... Physics is my thing so I am going to have fun with this...
