"We use electricity all the time, but where exactly does it come from? How does it get to our homes? It’s a fascinating journey that can start hundreds of miles from your outlet. In the second episode of our electricity series, we trace the path electricity takes from the power plant to your light bulb. We also learn what it’s like without electricity and we hear about the rivalry between two great inventors, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla."
Rube Goldberg Machines
Rube Goldberg Machines
Rube Goldberg Machines are a fun way to illustrate the interaction between energy and matter. A Rube Goldberg machine, named after American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way. Usually, these machines consist of a series of simple unrelated devices; the action of each triggers the initiation of the next, eventually resulting in achieving a stated goal.
Joseph's Machines is a YouTube channel of a hilarious Kiwi (a New Zealander) who takes Rube Goldberg Machines to the next level. Check out his video - "How to pass the pepper while maintaining social distance"
Pop band OK Go recruited a group of very talented engineers to build a huge, elaborate Rube Goldberg machine whose action perfectly works with the band's song, "This Too Shall Pass," from the band's album, Of the Blue Color of the Sky.
