The really complexe machine ( see below ) was design in two years by a physics teacher. Is goal was to show what you can do by combining physics element ( vapor, electromagnetic, mechanic, electric ,etc. ) to bring you a complete and functionnal machine. The goal of the machine was to blow out a candle. Everything started out by the vapor power rocket that turn around in circle to activate a switch to release two ball that roll down a track that switch on water pumps that activate a rope and...... and finally, it blow out the candle with this vortex canon. Really COOL but it didn't make the entire action in one shot. It miss about 4 on more than 150 physics principle. About 2 or 3 were human fault. Really stupid fault He He He.


Bobsleigh made of concrete	Robotic arm

	Solar power car	This is a really complexe machine	with more than 150 physics rules. Fun to watch

The candle in the parabola.	Two track for the ball	This is a vapor power rocket that turn around the poll and activate a switch.	Electromagentic ring thrower.

	One man submarine power by human force ( pedaling )

		Mini solar car

		This NOT the vortex canon

The glass ball is supose to float in the air.	It is presently floating...	This is a new tank...	Put your mouse over the picture for 2 second.
