The Gutter Guzzlers
Introduction
 Our projects goal was to design and build a
contraption that could lift a 1 kg weight 1 meter in the
air in roughly 10 seconds
 The parts were found around EST 13 and the parts that
were bought were cheap and easily found
Overview
 The first step in this design is to fill the top bucket
with about 2 L of water. When ready we simply open
the valve that is connected to the bottom of the top
bucket so the water will run down the gutter and fill
the bucket at the end of the gutter, which will
eventually lift the 1 kg weight.
The Contraption
Potential Energy
 The Water – Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
 The Bucket- Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
Conclusion
 Our contraption took around 6 hours to build and
required help from all of the team, planning took even
longer to get it right.
 Complication – LEAKS
 Finally we are done with 151, good luck to all.
