3. Introduction
Our goal was to create a roller coaster that ran for 15 seconds.
We used 3 funnels, PVC pipes, a marble, tubing, and cardboard.
The materials cost around 20 dollars.

4. Overview
We first release the marble through the tubing into the first funnel. It then spins around the funnel and is released through tubing into our second funnel.
After spinning around the second funnel the marble travel down a series of cardboard ramps until it reaches the third funnel.

6. Calculations

7. Conclusion Took nearly 6 hours to find a design we could get to work.
We ran into many problems with our previous designs.
Examples:
Ball not going down the spiral
Ball getting caught in the funnel
Size and time issues.
