Written explanation of each of the steps including the energy transfers:
- The hockey puck rolls and hits the dominoes which is mechanical
- The dominoes fall down and hit the golf ball which is mechanical
- Then the golf ball rolls down the slope which is gravitational
- Then the golf ball falls into the cup which weighs the cup down which is gravitational which
- Then pulls on the string to lift the piece of card board which is mechanical which
- Then releases the car with the pin to roll down the slope which is gravitational
- Then the pin pops the balloon that has the marble inside which is sound and elastic
- Then the marble rolls down the slope which is gravitational
- Then hits the dominoes which is mechanical
- Then the dominoes fall down and hit the bell which is sound and gravitational
After many attempts of trying to get our machine to do a complete cycle, we were unable to get the marble to knock the dominoes over to ring the bell.
