Assemble the circuit and mount the merry-go-round base on
the geared motor (GM) shaft. Place cardboard figures on the
merry-go-round if desired.
Turn on the slide switch (S1). The merry-go-round or light
motor start if the circuit is tilted or moved. Experiment to see
which tilt angles activate which effects.
If the circuit does not shut off when left alone, then tilt it slightly
so it turns off.
Project 37
Tilt Motion
!
WARNING:
Moving parts. Do not
touch the fan during operation.
Build the circuit and turn on the slide switch (S1). An alarm sounds if
the circuit is moved, or tilted in some directions.
If the circuit does not shut off when left alone on a flat surface, then tilt
it slightly so it turns off.
Next, move the 3-snap wire from the points marked A & B to the points
marked C & D. Now it is sensitive to tilt in different directions.
If you place 3-snap wires across A & B, and C & D, then the circuit will
be so sensitive to tilt that the alarm may be difficult to shut off.
