The Limit of a Bounce

Applied Mechanics/ Structures & Mechanisms/ Manufacturing

Objectives/Goals Objective: Find out what effect pressure (PSI) has on the bounce height of a ball. Hypothesis: I predict that as you add more air pressure into a ball, the ball will bounce…

The Longer the Arm, the Farther the Throw?

Applied Mechanics/ Structures & Mechanisms/ Manufacturing

Objectives/Goals I like playing golf and often wondered why the length of a club affects the distance the ball travels. It feels like the longer clubs just have more power when I swing them!…

The More Pulleys, The More Pull

Applied Mechanics/ Structures & Mechanisms/ Manufacturing

Objectives/Goals My project was to find out if there were any disadvantages to using pulleys to lift weight. I think when you use more pulleys it gets easier to lift a certain amount of weig…

The Trebuchet: A Study of Mechanics and Motion

Applied Mechanics/ Structures & Mechanisms/ Manufacturing

Objectives/Goals My project was to evaluate how different sling lengths and counterweight masses affect the distance a trebuchet throws a ball. My hypothesis was that a trebuchet would shoot…

The Workings of an Ancient Trebuchet

Applied Mechanics/ Structures & Mechanisms/ Manufacturing

Objectives/Goals The purpose of my experiment was to determine the impact on the distance a projectile is thrown from a trebuchet by changing the length of the throwing arm and the mass of t…

Wimshurst Influence Machine

Applied Mechanics/ Structures & Mechanisms/ Manufacturing

Objectives/Goals To first build a reproduction of an 1883 Wimshurst Influence Machine that would produce static electricity without the use of friction. Secondly, to improve on the design of…
