Jacob's Ladder Rube-Goldberg Machine
A Rube-Goldberg machine that I designed for my ENES100 class at University of Maryland.
Background and Motivation
I was tasked with designing a portion of Rube-Goldberg machine for an engineering design class. Being an avid circuit and high-voltage enthusiast, I decided to implement some very unique features. Namely, a special traveling spark gap , a solenoid stage, a keyboard switch, and a pneumatic cylinder mechanism.
