Look at the action.
Understand the reference.
Release it along the rails
Release it gently and observe its movement along the diverging rails.
Compare the rail slope and centre-of-mass motion
Compare the apparent upward rail direction with the falling centre of mass; the model does not move against conservation of energy.
This guide describes the visible action. The final performance and operating specification are agreed for the project.

Uphill Double Cone — Related Working Demonstration
A related physical demonstration for uphill double cone. The operator reaches toward the rolling comparison assembly. A rolling body changes position along the paired rails. The cabinet and component arrangement differ from the catalogue rendering.

Gyroscopic Effect — Related Working Demonstration
A related physical demonstration for gyroscopic effect. The operator starts a supported wheel by hand. The wheel continues turning after the hand moves away. The cabinet and component arrangement differ from the catalogue rendering.

Coriolis Force — Related Working Demonstration
A related physical demonstration for coriolis force. Turn the base of the two-roller belt assembly by hand. Watch the moving belt change its shape. The cabinet and component arrangement differ from the catalogue rendering.
