Introduction &
problem statement
By the end of the project, it will be expected that
the marble should make a full loop rolling from the
top of the marble run design to bottom, and from the
bottom to the top again by using only mechanical
concepts to pull the marble up. Some challenges
arose such as the magnetism and replacement of
certain parts.
Problem
background
Our marble track project is focused on creating a track that allows the marble
from top to bottom and back to the top without using any electrical component
and minimum human intervention
A funnel, spiral, pin board, zigzag, diagonal track, and an Archimedes screw are
among the essential parts.
We encounter difficulties navigating these components' complex design.
The use of recycled materials brings certain challenges that necessitate creative
thinking in order to successfully integrate all of the components into a marble
track.
Summary of
research findings
We conducted research on the
following:
• The history behind marble
projects
• The educational significance
The History
●
●
●
●
Believed to have come from the
Egyptians as the word marble
comes from the Egyptian word
"murmur" meaning stone.
First made on a substantial scale by
the Keilbach
They were first created using stone
They were always used as
instruments of fun and education
Educational
Significance
●
They are an excellent tool for
teaching STEM concepts
●
They spark creativity and critical
thinking.
●
Enhance geometric and
mathematical skills
Summary of design
alternatives
In brief, over the course of 14 weeks, the project involved
considering nine design alternatives. These
variations included modifications to the zigzag
structure, alterations to the lifting mechanism,
changes to the materials used in the spiral and
diagonal pipes, the introduction of an additional
element, and fine-tuning of various elements to
ensure seamless transitions.
Design selection
process
Each design was designed meticulously to
meet the following criteria
• Footprint dimension
• Use of recycled material
• Flight time of the marble
• Budget
• Use of mechanical mechanism to elevate
the marble.
