Behind the Physics

Jimmy Kryger at the Rube Goldberg Contest

Physics undergrad Jimmy Kryger

How many murders does it take to screw in a light bulb? This is the first machine built by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Rube Goldberg Society, led by engineering physics undergrad Jimmy Kryger. Works every time. Task: to change a light bulb in 20 steps or more.

More about Jimmy Kryger at the Rube Goldberg Contest
