In this short video, we explain the Centrifugal Wheel — a simple rotating mechanism with weights at the ends of its arms. When the wheel spins, the weights move outward due to centrifugal force. This model is commonly used to demonstrate how rotation affects balance, force, and stability.
What you learn in this video: ✔ What is a centrifugal wheel ✔ How centrifugal force pushes weights outward ✔ Why rotation creates force and imbalance ✔ Real-life applications like centrifugal governors, speed regulators, and rotating machinery

00:00This is called a centrifugal wheel. It has arms with small weights at the ends, and when the wheel spins, the weights move outward. How it works? Simple explanation. When the wheel rotates, the weights feel a centrifugal force. This force pushes them outward, away from the center. As the weights move out, they create balance or imbalance, depending on speed. The faster the rotation, the stronger the outward force.
00:27What is it used for? This mechanism is widely used to show how centrifugal force works, how rotation affects balance and stability, basic principles of rotational motion in engineering. It is also used in educational models to explain how some machines control speed, like centrifugal governors in old engines.
