Exhibit Summary
Climbing Cone is a Mechanical Model 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
The guide rails are widest at the top, so as the cone rolls 'uphill' its center of gravity actually descends rather than rises. Gravity drives the cone toward the lower center of gravity, making it appear to defy gravity by climbing on its own.
Operation
Guests place the cone at the low, narrow end of the track and watch it roll upward toward the wide end by itself.
