What does the Goldberg device look like?
goldberg
According to the Goldberg device description,
A machine based on a chain reaction devised by American cartoonist Rube Goldberg (1883-1970)
It is a very simple machine that looks and works. It is a machine made with cartoon imagination and is a device that puts fun and ingenuity at the forefront rather than efficiency. It is ridiculous in some ways to reach out and open an umbrella and make it a complicated linkage device, but in other ways, it is also a satire about humans living in such a complicated world.
NASA NASA focused on the interaction of multiple objects on the Goldberg device and applied them to astronauts' scientific imagination training and crisis response training. Currently, Goldberg device contests are held in the United States. This is because it brings out interesting scientific imagination and gives pleasure to the public.
