Engineering project:Egg launcher
Research time again. For those interested, the mousetrap car went well, didnt win, but definatly did well.
New project though. Design and build a mechanical (read:no compressed gasses/explosives) device to throw an egg (raw) 60 ft, into a bucket.
Any ideas?
Lotsa trebuchete ideas floating around my class, im thinking more of a spring loaded "cannon". Would be fairly simple to construct and design. Physics calculations would be simple. Easily adjustable.
Lets hear what you all think... Probably be narrowing it down to a few ideas at the end of the week.
