You know about arduinos, but have never witnessed tiping a container from the inside? Kids these days...Max Johnson said:I want to be able to tip a can by building a device that fits inside the can and is able to tip it even when the can is completely closed. I have a motor and an arduino to control it. Would I be able to tip it by spinning a weight around the vertical axis of the can? Or would action and reaction cause the can not to move?
Yes, it is possible for the can to tip over if the weight is spinning fast enough and if the center of mass of the can and weight is not balanced.
The Arduino is used to control the speed and direction of the weight's spinning, providing a more controlled and consistent experiment.
You will need a can, a weight, an Arduino microcontroller, a motor, and jumper wires. You may also need a power source and a breadboard for the circuit.
Yes, it is possible to manually spin the weight on top of the can, but it may be more difficult to maintain a consistent speed and direction.
Yes, it is important to use caution when working with electrical components and to ensure that the can and weight are not too heavy or sharp to cause injury if they tip over.
