The commercial cube is composed of 26 visible pieces and one central core. These two distinct components of the Rubik’s cube are what maintain the shape of the Rubik’s cube. The shape of the core can be visualized as a central, three-axis spindle with six attached octagons, one on each face of the cube. These are referred to as octagonal extensions and are what allow the free movement and rotation of the cube. Attached to these six core pieces are six center pieces, one of three piece types: center, side, and corner pieces. There are six center pieces with each one possessing one visible face in the final construction of the cube. Each side is connected to one of the octagons of the core. Center pieces are the only pieces on a Rubik’s cube …show more content…
The corner and edge pieces use their extensions to fill the cavity left by the core to forge the form and framework of a regular cube, support adjacent cubies, and ultimately maintain the shape and mechanics reserved in a conventional Rubik’s cube. Each face of the cube is indicated with unique, solid color or pattern. The center piece, immobile in relation to the core, is the center of the face, and the edges and corner pieces become the edges and corners of the face. The extension off the center piece is directly inserted onto core’s octagonal face and, more precisely, octagonal extensions. The other extensions fit the remaining space to support the cube’s framework and complete the internals of the cube, allowing for optimal movement of the cube. (“Illumin”) Edges and Corners, on any face, can rotate to any displacement on the Rubik’s due to their adjacency to the center piece, which is attached to the octagonal extensions, allowing free movement and rotation. Also, with the help of other extensions (edge and corner), the symmetry and compatibility of all components allows for horizontal and vertical rotation of all cubies while maintaining a sustained structure. This allows the movement of any cubie in any direction and, thus, its potential presence in any suitable, compatible displacement on the Rubik’s cube. (“How a …show more content…
The extensions of each of the pieces connect firmly to the core’s octagonal face, allowing adjacent pieces to interlink and interlock. Since each octagon extension can rotate, the edges of the cube can rotate from the original position. (Any manipulation of that modifies the relative locations of a number of pieces is called a turn. At a basic level, each turn can be thought of as a rotation of one of the faces by some fitting degree.) When one of the core’s octagon extensions turns, it rotates the nine connected cubies with it. As rotation occurs, these cubies are subsequently locked with each other and the core and form a new set of colors (permutation). After suitable rotation, the cube can be returned to its initial shape, however not its original permutation. Likewise, after a few random rotations, the colors of the Rubik’s cube may be very well scrambled, indicating how the interdependence of the distinct, interlinking components of the cube can yield a mind-numbing number of permutation on such a scale, without forgetting permutations present in unsolvable cube cases.
This essay will talk about the Rube Goldberg project that I, Chandler Works have completed. The materials that I have used in this project is a car, dominos, a marble, blocks, and a bell. I used paper towel roles as the ramp so that everything can travel in its path. We also used little pieces of cardboard as a stopper, so the car or marble doesn't keep rolling after it hits the dominoes. At the end of the project, the dominoes are supposed to knock over and hit the bell to make it ring.
Everybody’s seen a Rubik’s cube before. An ordinary looking cube comprising of 27 smaller cubes and with 9 axes of rotation and a unique colour for each face.
It seems like, everywhere we turn there is another problem just waiting to take us down. We see all sorts of problems in our society, and lots of them may take years and years to solve. But what is really cool, is that all problems are possible to solve, but there is one thing you must have when solving a problem.
Our individual performances could have been improved by taking more time and being more careful with the construction of the shapes, as well as thinking our plan out beforehand so we would know exactly which strategies would work. This project has furthered us as learners by teaching us to plan ahead and design different prototypes, create a successful product using sources, and use the design cycle to guide us in our future projects.

The three pieces all connect the artists in some way, shape or form. In A.E Housman’s “Stars, I Have Seen Them Fall”, she comments how “No star is lost at all from the star-sown sky” (3-4). This explains how she is watching the stars pass and that every star seems to stay. The reader could infer that,
Half shells obtained after the moulding process has a part 12 which is a curved central part, and a pair of lateral fins 13.

This piece of structure is comprised of multiple, simplified three dimensional buildings and a wooden structure. The central structure
A Rube Goldberg machine, by definition, is not simple—especially when you are recruited to build one a week before the first Science Olympiad competition. Two rolls of duct tape, a bag of hot glue sticks, and fourteen consecutive hours of Yo-Yo Ma later, I had created a lopsided contraption that managed to win a fourth place medal. In a way, my machine reflects my identity. Similar to how galaxy duct tape and neon green golf balls distinguished my Rube Goldberg machine, my experiences in Science Olympiad, research, and art make me unique.
It was a megalithic structure and represented a large organization of labor and engineering due to the size and weight of the supports and blocks that were used in its creation. There were two types of stones used in the construction, the larger sarsen and the smaller bluestones (Greaney). “The sarsen blocks weigh up to 50 tons a piece, and traveled 200 miles”, indicate the difficulty in moving the stone (Davies 18). What now appears to be a unified design actually happened in four parts. During the middle of the period that it was built, the structure “had grown into a horseshoe-shaped arrangement of five sarsen triliths, encircled by a ring of upright blocks capped with lintel” (Davies16).
As seen in Figure below, the entire system can be thought of as made up of subsystems each performing a core
There are many interpretations of the artwork but it is generally seen as a family portrait. The objects used are all different in shape, colour and size which symbolises the different personalities and people that are being represented by the items. In this piece, the cast of a doll's head represents Joseph, the egg in a wine glass represents his mother, the four cylindrical weights represent the four Cornell siblings and the bubble pipe represents his father. The composition is coordinated and orderly with glass planes that separate the objects, which symbolises the isolation of Joseph and the death of his father. Yet the map of the moon that is the focal point of the artwork reminds the audience that everything is still connected and provides an overall sense of unity. The small pictures painted on two of the four cylinders are planets which connects with the moon and emphasises the infinity and vastness of space which is supported by the cleverly placed negative space within the box. Whereas, the doll's head and bubble pipe highlights the childishness of the whole artwork. The craters on the moon also serve as the non-existing bubbles still accentuating the connectedness of the whole piece. Joseph's Soap Bubble Set focuses on the theme of preserving the past and its memories. The objects as individuals held no meaning, but when they were put together and given a story, they became symbolic and
The vital time in art history when Cubism was emerging in our culture undoubtedly changed art forever. It is responsible for producing some of the most famous paintings in the world. Defined as an early 20th-century style and movement in art, especially painting, in which perspective with a single viewpoint was abandoned and use was made of simple geometric shapes, interlocking planes, and later, collage, the Cubism movement revolutionized not only art but also music, literature, and architecture. Artists began to reject the idea of simply representing nature, which had been done for centuries, and introduced a new approach to special awareness, far from the traditional techniques. The
