ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for gravity assisted rotational motion includes a frame and a axle supported on the frame. A plurality of hollow arms are rotatably supported on the axle. At the outer ends of each arm is mounted a hollow reservoir which can be selectively filled or emptied of a heavy, flowable material such as water. Heavy plates are slidably mounted on rods and alternately open or close the reservoirs depending on the location of the plate above or below the reservoir as the device rotates. The transfer of water from one side of the rotational device to the other as the device rotates minimizes the energy input necessary to rotate the device, creating an attractive and interesting attraction for miniature golf courses, circuses, county fairs, and other events.
