5th Blog (Godzilla Lego Creation)

This is my Lego creation that me and Kenadie made. To start off you need these Lego pieces.



Step one- Make the base of the contraption.








Step 2- add the wheels to the base through the holes.





Step 3- add the pulley system.








Step 4- add the base support so when you wheel it in it doesn't brake. And add the incline plane that holds up the Wheel and Axle of the crank.





Step 5- Add the crank connected with the gear and tighten the axles.





Step 6 - Add the exterior design such as Godzilla's tell and its hub caps.



Step 7 - Tie the string to the axle that is turned by the gears and clamp the top of the weight brick on the end of the string.






That's how you make GODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy









The Godzilla is a simple pulley. How it works is you tigh the end of the string to somthing and when you crank the handle you will pull it inward threw a number of gears.






Question #1- What simple machines are in the Godzilla?






Question #2-What is the Handle doing when you turn it?






Question #3- If the Godzilla was made bigger how bigger would you make it and what would you use it for?






Answere #1- In the Godzilla there are pulleys, incline planes, and lots of wheels and axles.






Answere #2- When you turn the handle it turns the axle which turns the gears which turns more gears and finally cranks the object in useing the pulley.
