Forces & motion
Uphill Double Cone
A double cone appears to roll uphill on diverging rails. Its center of mass actually falls as the widening track lets the cone sit lower between the rails.
RELATED PHYSICAL DEMONSTRATION
Compare a working version.
The physical reference uses a wide guarded comparison track and spiral-marked rolling bodies; the compact catalogue rail and cabinet configuration differ.
Video & text guideThis company footage demonstrates the same activity in a different physical configuration. It is not footage of the catalogue rendering shown above.
THE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM
Watch a cone appear to roll uphill
A double cone appears to roll uphill on diverging rails. Its center of mass actually falls as the widening track lets the cone sit lower between the rails. The rail height alone is misleading; the lowering of the cone between the rails lets gravity drive the motion toward a lower center of mass.
- 01
Begin the activity
Place the cone at the lower end of the rails.
- 02
Follow the response
Release it without pushing.
- 03
Compare the result
Observe the direction and support points.

Explore the supportDelivery, installation & after-sales terms
- Payment
- A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
- Packaging & transport
- Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
- Materials & painted finish
- Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
- Typical power · powered versions
- Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
- Product maintenance
- Use the approved non-abrasive cleaning method for transparent surfaces and check their fixings.
- Installation & training
- Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
- Factory acceptance & handover
- Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
- Complimentary parts
- 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
- Warranty & repair labour
- The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.
Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?
Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.
How prototype testing & samples workWhat do the images and videos show?
The gallery contains design or catalogue views. Any design-image sequence uses those existing views and does not demonstrate physical operation. Project drawings define the supplied configuration.
