Exhibit Summary
Cone rolls up is a Mechanical Interaction interactive exhibit in the Mechanics in Motion category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
Objects in the gravity field will naturally lower their center of gravity due to the effects of gravity and the gravity of the earth. Under the influence of gravity, an object will move toward a lower center of gravity. On the surface, it seems that the cone is rolling upward along the track, but in fact, the center of gravity of the object (double cone) with a small distance between the two single tracks at the low end of the track is high, and the center of gravity of the object (double cone) with a large distance between the two single tracks at the high end of the track is low, and the object is rolling from the high end of the track to the low end.
Operation
The exhibition item consists of V-shaped inclined guide rails, brackets and double cones. Setting a movable hinge in the middle of the guide rail can change the angle of the guide rail, allowing the double cone to move back and forth on the guide rail. When the audience participates, pick up the cone and place it on the lower end of the guide rail, watch the movement of the double cone on the guide rail, use the handle to control the angle, and then watch the movement of the double cone. 1. Pick up the vertebral body and place it on the lower end of the guide rail, and watch the movement of the vertebral body; 2. Rotate the turntable to adjust the opening and closing angle of the guide rail and watch the movement of the vertebral body.
