Around the World - Rube Goldberg

HIGH QUALITY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZZJf4hxadY&fmt=18
An 8th Grade Rube Goldberg Science Project
Objective - Light a Match

btw: The remote is only used to stop the match lighter... ;)

**Where does 'Around the World' come from?...
Our Rube Goldberg machine basically has two parts connected between two cellphones. The cellphone on the first part calls the cellphone on the second part, triggering it, and therefore continuing the chain of events. Because cellphones work mostly anywhere in the world, theoretically, the two parts of our machine can be located in any two places in the world with cellphone reception and still work. That's where the name 'Around the World' comes from.

Why not take all that time, trouble and expense to create a life for yourselves?

[NPuter]

If this had not been assigned to my science class as a project, I would have probably not done it...

That being said, we had a great time building it and seeing the end result is extremely satisfying...

what does around the world have to do with anything?? no offense but i am just wondering

How exactly does receiving a text message make a cell phone move?

[NPuter]

the phone is loosely set on the tables edge...

when the phone call is received, the phone vibrates and falls...

every time someone acomplishes something someone says they have no life im geting tired of that, -_-

[warriorlink01]

don't let it stop there get the match to burn a string or something and go from there great work:)

Heyy, you guys are amazing! But I was wondering how and what you made your pulley system out of?

[USA12855]

This is one of the most incredible and comprehensibly difficult Rube Goldberg projects that anyone can possibly do. In any case, one can say what a spectacular job you guys have done to put this together. Great Job!

[efreaky]

you guys are teh ghey

You say this is original but you've seen it "so many times"? You also said he's going to lose his business even though he said he did this because it's a science project (which means this is his only Rube Goldberg machine). Maybe your the dumb one.

[mooseman999]

not to be rude but that was oringal i have seen that trick so many times im going to go crazy!find some thing no one has seen or u will lose ur beissness...........ps that was very dumb

bye ??????????????????????????

[ginaon]

we did this same thing, and ours was incredebly unimpressive. yours is very nice. great job. i like the phone idea by the way
