Quotes[]

Kenny: Earlier on ZOOM, we started building an invention that pours a glass of milk. It's the kind of invention that Rube Goldberg -- a guy who invented machines that made simple tasks very complicated -- would've designed. But since Rube Goldberg's inventions were so complicated, he got ended up building them. He only did cartoons of them. We actually built ours.
Kaleigh: Our invention is just as complicated as a Rube Goldberg Machine. It uses 34 steps to pour milk ... into this glass. Last time, we had about half of it finished. Now the whole thing's working.
(ZOOM transition to Kaleigh, Kenny and Eric showing us the final product)
Kaleigh: It all starts when I press this doorbell. The doorbell completes an electrical circuit which releases energy from the battery the causes the fan to turn.
Kenny: The turning fan moves this piece of cardboard out of the way, which lets this marble fell through the funnel. Because of the marble is traveling with so much energy, when it hits the can, it gives it a little push and rolls uphill, which hits the next can, which also rolls uphill. The reason they roll uphill is because there are weights taped inside of them. The weights are actually falling down, and as they do this, they pull the can forward and up the hill.
Eric: The last can knocks over this domino, which starts this domino chain and knocks the astronaut off the table. The astronaut pulls on this string, which releases this clip from the tetherball. The tetherball then unwinds and knocks over this chair, which is gonna land on this lever, which released this green string attached to the balloon. The balloon is then gonna unwind and deflate, releasing these weights. The weights are gonna knock this bottle off the table. The force of the falling bottle will pull on this green string and pull the chair onto the bridge, where the marbles on this can will spill out everywhere.
Kaleigh: We use this metersticks to guide the marbles into this balance. As the balance moves, it lets the lever tilt, and the chicken feet roll down. The chicken feet hit with enough force to knock over this book. One book hits the next, and as the last book falls, it pulls out a cork out of the balloon car.
Kenny: The inflated balloon has a lot of energy, because it's stretched. A balloon that is stretched has more energy than a balloon that is not stretched. So, when the cork is pulled from this balloon car, the air in this stretched balloon is forced out and moves the car forward, which hits this steel ball, which rolls down the track and acts like a switch. The electricity flows from this wire through the steel ball and into this wire, which then runs the fan.
Eric: The fan blows this funnel, which has a needle attached to it down the fishing line and pops the balloon. The balloon releases this string, which is attached to this airplane. Gravity makes this airplane zip down the cord and pushes this wedge. The wedge tilts up this bottle of vinegar, and the vinegar pours into this balloon filled with baking soda. The chemical reaction between the two creates a gas with enough force to inflate the balloon that's underneath this plate. When that happens, it's gonna tilt the plate up and pour the milk into this glass. Okay, let's test out machine.
