MINI-INTERACTIVES:
Things
that move | Invisible Forces
| Shining & seeing | Patterns
in water | Touring etc.

Things
that move
Hold the wheel up and spin it with your finger.
Let go.
Turn the red wheel in the direction of the arrow.
Notice how slowly the gear wheels turn.
The bigger gears have 100 teeth. The smaller gears have 10 teeth. Can
you see why you have to turn the red wheel a million (1,000,000) times
before the 6th gear wheel turns once?
Spin the pendulum round by turning the red knob.
Each time, the pendulum does something completely different.
However carefully you try, it is impossible to make it repeat
exactly the same movements.
Try joining different wheels with the elastic bands.
Turn the middle wheel to make the others turn.
How fast can you make a wheel turn? How slowly can you make a wheel turn?
Make sure everything is still, then swing just one of the pendulums.
Now step back, wait and watch what happens. First one pendulum stops swinging,
then the other.
Energy goes from one pendulum to the other.
