Lesson 1.1.1 Punkin Chunkin
THESE MACHINES ARE CRAZY! These launchers utilize the principles of simple machines. What simple machine do catapults use? Put in your notebook |
|
Lesson 1.1.2 Simple Machines and Mechanical Advantage
Bill teaches John how to take advantage of mechanical leverage so that he can lift more than 10 pounds and perhaps teach Billy Quan a lesson next time they run into each other. 1. What were ALL of the simple machines he explained? 2. What are the formulas for IMA & AMA? |

Lesson 1.1 Data analysis in Logger Pro
While we touched on the basics of data collection in Logger Pro for testing our simple machine models, this video quickly touches on how to use the data analysis tools within Logger Pro. |
|
Lesson 1.1.2 Rube Goldberg Machine
Compound machines can be both practical and fun. This is an example of a Rube Goldberg machine turned into music video. The video is comprised of over 700 household items and is over one-half mile. Give at least three examples of simple machines used in the video |
|
Lesson 1.1.2 - Wedges as Simple Machines
While the audio is quiet on this video, using mauls to split wood is a common example of we use the mechanical advantage provided by wedges. |
|
Lesson 1.1.3 The Cog
This WebRidesTV video is a commercial made by Honda to showcase the Honda Accord. It is a two minute video that shows Honda Accord parts interacting with each other similar to a Rube Goldberg machine List simple machines that you think are in a clothes dryer. |

Lesson 1.1.3 These Gears Really Work?
In class today we're going to talk about gears , pulleys and sprockets. Like our simple machines there is a mechanical advantage in the gear trains we assemble, so how might we calculate the MA of these usually shaped gears? |
|
Lesson 1.1.4 Manual Transmission
This is a video of a manual transmission and how it works. This shows an important use for gear ratios. Each gear in a transmission has a set gear ratio for a reason. 1st gear will have a much higher gear ration than 5th or 6th gear. What is the gear ratio when 1st gear is engaged? |

Unit 1.1.6 : The Dresser Rube Goldberg Machine
Thinks about the different mechanisims used and how they work together. In our Rube Goldberg machine we need to be design a machine that preforms a specific task but leaves us able to measure our distances and forces, to calculate mecahnical advantages |
|
1.1.6 Example Compound Machines
While these are not going to be clicking pens, these may give you some inspiration for designs in your own compound machine |
|
1.1.6 Tips on Technical Writing
As you're watching this video, write down the 7 tips for successful technical writing. As we write documentation for this class, it will be our goal to write effective reports based on our projects and activities. |
|
1.1.6: Calculate IMA of a Compound Machine
This is a longer video, but you see how each measurement is taken and then used with an appropriate formula to ultimantly calculate the Ideal Mechanical Advantage |
|
1.1.6 Measuring Simple Machines with Force Sensors
Take notes on how to read force sensor data, record data, and get statistics off of the machine. Also note how Resistance Force and Effort Force are measured for a regular simple machine |
|
Unit 1.1 Review : Understanding Screw Threads
Optional Video This is a longer video but filled with useful information, covering their connection to inclined planes and wedges, to how they work, to information on thread notation and the making of screws and fasteners. |
|
Unit 1.1.1 Review : Compound Gear Ratio
Try to find the gear ratio of the compound gear train shown in the video, working along with the video if need be. |
|
Unit 1.1. Review - Moment Calculation
Based on our survey, there was a number of people that wanted a review on Moment calculations, pay attention to the calculations as this will be revisited in our truss calculation studies after break |
