Rotor (Carnival Ride Model) (1D50.30)

Description:

A horizontal disc rotating at about 2 rev/s has a small section of a vertical wall at the edge. At sufficient speed, the centripetal force will keep a small object pressed against the wall without falling down.


Procedure or Operation Notes:

The plastic figure is initially held against the wall by magnets. At sufficient speed, the exterior magnet and wood stick will fly off, but the passenger will remain in place.
