There is great opportunity in this project to advance my skills in structural, electrical, and mechanical engineering. Since the Rube Goldberg machine uses all of these types of engineering to accomplish its task. I will have to work with each kind of engineering to complete the final product. This final project will be a lemonade machine that will be able to make fresh lemonade and pour it into a glass. Since this machine is a Rube Goldberg it will use many parts and arbitrary machines to get it done. These parts will be used with the different fields of engineering in mind.
In the Rube Goldberg we will use water to generate the electrical power to power the electrical parts of the machine. The electricity will the power the different parts of the machine like the timed control of the injection if the ingredients and the crushing of the lemons. The structure will be made to be appealing when fitting in the allotted space. The different engineering aspect of this project will make the invaluable experience to me and tom.
Since this project is a lot like a vending machine I think that it should look like a vending machine. It should have a rectangular shape and it should be yellow it make it easy to tell that it tells lemonade. The machine will be need to fit in common places like supermarkets and other places where vending machines. I think that you should be able to see the machine work. It should be able to reset it through a switch or some sort or lever. In summation the machine a fun creative vending machine.
