Cartoon illustration of a Rube Goldberg machine sequence causing a balloon to pop.

Make this an image 1. A hand pulls down a lever, releasing a marble down a ramp (inclined plane). 2. The marble rolls into a line of dominos, knocking them over (lever). 3. The last domino hits a small ball that rolls down another ramp (inclined plane). 4. This ball strikes a toy car, which is on a flat surface (friction). 5. The car rolls down a slope (inclined plane) and crashes into a stack of cups (lever). 6. One cup tips over and hits a seesaw (lever) that launches a small weight into the air. 7. The weight lands on a pulley system, pulling a string attached to a lever (lever). 8. The lever releases a second marble down another ramp (inclined plane). 9. This marble hits a gear mechanism (gears) that turns and activates a series of smaller gears. 10. The smaller gears turn a wedge that pushes a block upwards. 11. The block, when pushed high enough, falls onto another seesaw (lever). 12. The seesaw launches a ball into the air, which lands on a spinning wheel (wheel and axle). 13. The spinning wheel knocks over a series of blocks (lever) that fall onto a pin holding the balloon. 14. The pin is pushed out of place, and the balloon pops! Ver m谩s
