An engine is a machine used to transform one kind of energy into another to produce work. In this project, we'll learn how to make a rubber band heat engine, a type of engine that converts thermal ene ...
The increase in bicycle traffic has implications not only on the environment but our health as well. The GPS system has offered engineers the ability to gather terrain information more efficiently tha ...
Periscopes were invented to observe things from a hidden position. They were used to see above water from submarines, in all directions from inside a tank, and above ground from trenches by soldiers d ...
Rube Goldberg can be thought of as the Ogden Nash of Mechanical Engineering. His signature pieces are preposterously overworked mechanical contraptions designed to perform an extraordinarily simple ta ...

Why does a rock sink in water while a gigantic steel aircraft carrier floats? The aircraft carrier is much heavier, but glides along the ocean surface with ease. Clearly, weight isn’t the entire story ...
This project explores the basic physics of bridges. The goal is that the student will develop an understanding through experimentation of which shapes are the most structurally strong, and that many f ...
We use machines every day to make our work easier. The compound machines that we use are oftentimes made up of multiple simple machines such as pulleys, levers, and inclined planes. Each simple machin ...
Newton’s First Law of Motion states that when an object is set in motion, it will remain in motion until acted on by an outside force. Theoretically, this could mean you could travel at the same speed ...
