one up to here. It can't help it and the same tension will

pull all of them upwardly.

"Now I am going to do something else. Instead of using the

cellophane tape, I am going to have the series of the balls

tangent to one another going around here. We are going to give

this hammer thrower a whole lot more balls and there will

be one lodge here and another lodge there. They keep

building up and I give him some more. They will be on

the top and on the bottom. The wheel gets to be very thick,

but this set are horizontal and due to the acceleration the

ones on the top and bottom both try to get horizontal so

they press very hard on the horizontal layer. They build up

so much friction due to the rotation that they are much

better than the cellophane tape. You know that when I touch

the wheel with this ball going by here the tension goes

back along this way and acts as a fulcrum and the whole wheel

will bend downwardly so that the wheel that was going by me

horizontally like this goes in this position. Let's get this

patterned again-- the ball is going by me here and they are

all thick now and when I touch the wheel that is going around

me like this it is deflected so it has to go in to a pattern

like that. As it went by me it went down into that pattern.
