Blog 2 David,Chris,Thomas,Pierre


A) We plan to use an inclined plane, lever, screw, and pulleys. Our inclined plane is for the marble to travel down our board.The levers are to elevate and move objects.We used screws to screw in parts to our support board.And our pulleys to move objects up and down with string.
B) We plan to incorporate kinetic to kinetic, Gravity to kinetic, kinetic to gravity, electric potential to light, and elastic to kinetic. In order to go from electric potential to light we are completing a circuit that turns on a lightbulb. For kinetic to kinetic we have the ball rolling down PVC pipes. For Gravity to kinetic we have a spot where a ball is resting on a PVC pip and is tipped over to use its gravity potential to turn into kinetic. We also have kinetic to gravity when the ball falls out of the PVC pipe hitting the mouse trap. And our last energy transfer is from elastic to kinetic in which we tied a string to a mouse trap which goes off and ends up using a pulley to knock off a marble from a PVC pipe.
C) Specifically, Chris has brought in supplies, cut PVC, glue objects on the board, and blogged our project. David has bought a lot of supplies we needed such as PVC, light bulbs, fan, battery emulator, wire and jimmy johns.Thomas perfected the blue print, brought in batteries, the hot glue gun, and has help cut and build up our board. Pierre has helped glue on pieces, brought in bells, glue, ramps, and tape, as well as help perfect the blue print.
