The
Turntable disk rotates like a giant compact disk. A
supply of small metal disks, rings, and balls, 7-10
cm in diameter, is scattered around the stationary portion
of the table top. Visitors try to keep the rings on
their edge spinning on the disk. They discover that
a ring spinning on edge may stay on the turntable for
a while, orbiting the center. A disk laid flat will
move in a straight line as soon as it slides off the
turntable. Visitors, especially children, love the challenge
of getting the disks and rings to stand on edge while
moving around the Turntable.
