  1. The RG Stamper Team: Sean Meek Ryan Ray Mike Higgins Steven Stokes

  2. Introduction • Stamp • String and fasteners • Two mousetraps • Goal: • Rube-Goldberg stamp device that uses projectile motion, conservation of energy and conservation of momentum • Parts: • Total cost: ~$13 • .75” particle board • Sling shot • Marbles

  3. Device

  4. Process • 1 – Sling Shot • Uses elastic potential energy • Converts to potential energy • Launches ball into air • 2 – Funnel and tube • Converts potential energy to kinetic energy • Falls down tube • 3 – Collision and end of tube • Conserves momentum • Moves up 3.25” through tube

  5. Process (continued) • 4 – Mouse trap triggered • Tension in string • Pulls string through pulley system • String pulls nail out • 5 – Stamper • Elastic potential energy to kinetic energy • Stored energy in mousetrap • 6 – Paper stamped

  6. Conclusion • Goal reached • All requirements met • What we learned: • Ways to adjust to group dynamics and schedules • Opportunity to use concepts and theories learned in EF151
