00:00This fascinating device is called a self-running flask wheel.
00:04It works on the idea of shifting liquid weight to create continuous rotation.
00:09Each flask is partially filled with colored liquid.
00:13When the wheel rotates, the liquid inside keeps moving to the lower part of each flask.
00:18This creates an imbalance, more weight on one side and less on the other, which keeps the wheel turning.
00:24But this rotation is not truly perpetual.
00:27It slows down over time because of friction and loss of energy.
00:32However, it beautifully demonstrates concepts like center of mass shifting, moment of force, torque, balance and imbalance in rotating systems, fluid dynamics inside moving containers.
00:46This makes it a great working model to visually understand physics in action, applications, educational demonstrations to teach torque, balance and fluid behavior.
00:56Science exhibitions attracts viewers due to slow, smooth motion.
01:01Engineering concepts explains weight distribution in rotating systems.
01:07Art plus physics models often used as decorative kinetic sculptures.
