Examples of last action:
|
The marbles drop onto the right side of the pulley it pulls the left side of the pulley up leading the fan to be turned on and pulled down.
|
The ball will go into the cup, which then makes contact with the aluminum foil. The contact creates pressure to the wire underneath, which then leads to the fan being powered.
|
Switch is hit which powers a fan, no mechanism for hitting the switch is shown, but fan mechanism is clearly demonstrated here.
