Description
A light ball and heavy mass are attached together by a string in a clear tube. When the lighter ball is spun around, it lifts the heavier mass.
Equipment
- Whirligig (ball (6.5g) and mass (50g) attached by string in clear tube)
Instructions
With the lighter ball on top, start spinning the whirligig slowly. The tension in the string will cause the heavier mass to rise.
