Jobrag, thank you so much for the replies you've been giving. I talked to a physics major friend of mine for literally a couple minutes, and he also thought the piston/chamber idea would be the best way to lift a heavy weight. But he also said that it would be extremely hard to build such a...

Wait - my knowledge in physics is very limited... (The teacher is honestly asking for too much.. I think... ) How would you measure if the "hairdryer can produce a pressure of 5" water?" Could someone provide me with some sort of visual aid so that I can better understand this? Sorry :( Thank...

I don't quite get the piston idea - could someone give me a visual aid? :( == Sorry... I might as well type up the whole paper. the "Heavy-Weight Lifting Machine" - design&build a machine that lifts as much weight as possible up to a height of 110cm in any given time (meaning it could take...

My bad! Here are the requirements: 1. Lift up a mass of AT LEAST 260g 2. The machine must be able to lift at least a 110cm from the ground... Sorry about that..!

Could a hairdryer heat the fluid hot enough to produce any kind of energy? I don't quite get what you are saying :( This is a high school project - I am hoping the ideas are not too complex for me :( Thank you anyways..!

Homework Statement Basically, using only a hair dryer as the source of energy, students need to create a machine that will lift a maximum amount of weight. Students get graded according to who can lift the heaviest weight. The record seems to be around 40kg...Homework Equations Can anyone...
