Candle Is Lit

We light our small candle which will be placed under fishing line to burn the fishing line which starts our Rube Goldberg.

The String Then Allows the Pulley System to Fall Onto the Dominos

Once the string is burnt, our pulley system activates and a cup filled with rocks falls onto dominoes.

Dominos Fall Onto the Tire Pushing It

The dominoes and hit a tire which rolls into more dominoes that starts more chain reactions.

The Ball Rolls Into the Dominoes at the Other End

From here the tire hits the next set of dominoes that we have placed.

Dominoes Split Into 2 Paths

The dominoes that were hit by the rolling tire split off into two paths for different outcomes on both sides.

Spiked Domino Hits Balloon Filled With Beads

There is a domino with a needle taped to it, this domino pops a balloon filled with beads and the beads start another chain reaction.

Pipe Leads Beads Into Boat

The beads from the balloon fall into the PVC pipe and the pipe leads into a boat in water.

Boat Sinks

The boat is the to heavy for the water and the boat sinks and the water falls out of its container.

Dominoes Fall Into the Marble Waiting at Top of Coaster

While the boat is sinking, the dominoes hit a marble that is previously placed at the top of a roller coaster.
