Slide 1...note the weight balls are towards the extreme end of the platform...towards the left...causing an imbalance on the seesaw and beginning a movement of the seesaw |
Slide 2... The seesaw is starting to move...the left side...on the up...is beginning to come down because of the weight being at the extreme left |
Slide 4...continued progress...the imbalance of the weights on the seesaw is seeking to correct itself... |
Slide 5...the weights are causing the left end to come all the way down |
Slide 6...the see saw is almost all the way down...note how the guide rails are causing the weight-shifter platform to change as the seesaw moves |
Slide 9...and now the weights are moving towards the other end of the see saw as they seek to roll into the wider channel that was created by the v-shaped guide rail's shifting of the rods |
Slide 11...the cycle is now complete...the weights are now fully extended towards the right...the seesaw will now begin the motions needed to correct the imbalance |
Slide 12...now the right end of the seesaw is beginning to come down ...the v-shaped guide rail is guiding the shifter rods to again start modifying the channel upon which the weight balls rest |
Slide 13...the weights of the seesaw are causing the imbalance and the seesaw is now seeking to correct the imbalance by moving downward at the right end...the left end is rising... |
Slide 15...the seesaw continues to move...the tension on the weights to shift is starting to build up...the weights now want to follow the channel along towards the wider end... |
