Vibrating conveyor

An interactive 'Challenge point'.

This exhibit shows how vibrating a surface asymmetrically causes objects resting on it to be moved along. On the table a vibrating tank has a glass cover. Inside is a curved ramp. By activating the i-button the tank starts to vibrate and several objects might start 'walking' up the ramp to fall back eventually into the tank.

The original exhibit cost in the region of £9,800 (excluding software).

The reserve price is £2,500. Offers over this amount are invited.
