The Eatable ElevatorEnergy begins with

clementine shot from the rubber band

Dominoes trigger Mouse trap

Trap releases Oranges and clementines

Bucket catches fruit pulling up the weight

Stored EnergyClementine released from the rubber

Spring potential energy turned into kinetic energy

Mouse trapSpring potential energy changed to twisting

kinetic energyDominoes

Gravitational potential energy changed to kinetic energy

Fruit on the rampGravitational potential energy converted to

kinetic energy

ConclusionThe actual building of the motor took about 4

hoursMore time was spent problem solving

Problem along the wayToo much friction from extra pully and board

Would have done differently:More specific plansAsked more questions

1 kg was heavier than expected
