βοΈ Working Principle
The model operates using the concept of rotational motion. When the DC motor is powered by the battery holder, it transfers motion through a series of gears and cogs, causing the platform to rotate. As speed increases, centrifugal force pushes attached components outward. This demonstrates how mechanical energy is transferred and converted within a system β a clear and practical example of basic physics principles.
