|
At the Retis laboratory of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, a steel ball was maintained at the centre of a metallic plate using FLEX board.
Latest update: An article (in Italian) titled "Equilibrio (quasi) perpetuo" features on the Italian Focus monthly magazine. Check the download section below.
A steel ball was continiously balanced and maintained, preventing it from rolling over or falling down from the centre of a vibrating metallic plate using FLEX board with two servomoters. A touchscreen was used to take the position of the steel ball.
