Steps in Rube Goldberg (Including Energies and Machines) 1. Golf ball rolls down tube and hits over the cup of water. (Gravitational Potential Energy and Kinetic Energy from the golf ball and cup) 2. Water goes down a funnel and turns a water wheel which is part of a pulley system and pulls up a piece of cardboard releasing marbles. (Gravitational Energy pulls the water down the funnel, Hydro Energy in the water turning the wheel, Wheel and Axel as a Machine, and Pulley as Machine connected with wheel and cardboard) 3. Marbles roll down maze and drop into the basket, which is part of another pulley system, which lifts up another cardboard releasing a train. (Gravitational Potential Energy in the balls as they go down maze, Pulley as Machine connected with basket and cardboard) 4. The train rolls down a hill and hits a poll with a lever on top causing the firehouse to fall down. (Gravitation Potential Energy as the train rolls down the hill, Kinetic Energy in the train as it hits over the poll, Lever as a Machine and when the train hits it tips over and causes the firehouse to fall off, Gravitational Potential Energy in the firehouse) 5. The firehouse is connected with another pulley system and causes a basket string to turn on a hairdryer. (Electrical Energy because of the hairdryer being turned on) 6. The hairdryer blows a marble on an incline plane into a chute, which presses the reset button on the extension cord. (Wind Energy because the hairdryer blows the ball up …
