In this post I want to tell you about three incredible stunts with the balance, which I shared with one rather interesting person. The fact that you will see is very difficult to believe, but in fact it is true and it looks very cool.
In order to perform the first trick you will need two plugs, which you have to cross with each other and insert a match between them. Next, you need to balance this design on a glass and set a match - burnt part of the match just beat it with a click. In the end, we must get an amazing balance, which has no counterweight.
For the next trick, we need plugs from wine bottles, a glass bottle and a few toothpicks. Take one of the stoppers and stick a toothpick into it, then insert it into the neck of the glass bottle.
Next, we take three more plugs and three toothpicks. In two plugs we insert toothpicks, and the third stopper is pierced through with a toothpick. Then it is necessary to connect the structure as shown above. The resulting design should be put on the sharp tip of the plug with a toothpick, which we previously stuck in a glass bottle.
Agree, at first sight you can not even believe that such a balance can be achieved. But this will not stop us and we'll go even further.
For the next trick, you will need 2 forks, 2 toothpicks and one more cork. First, on both sides, you need to plug the toothpicks into the cork, and then plug the 2 plugs into the same cork from both sides (the forks need to be stuck under a small angle).
As in the last time the resulting design should be balanced on the plug with a toothpick, which you previously stuck in a glass bottle. It turns out very cool, but in fact to achieve such a balance is very difficult.
And if you try even better and connect all these structures to each other, you will get something that your brain will not believe.
As you can see, it turns out something simply unrealistic - I personally still do not understand how all this can stand and even move;)!
I think few people will succeed in repeating something like this, because this is actually very difficult.
We tried it some time ago at home. It works very well, but we didn't try with as complicated structures as what you tried. :)
I'm sorry that I did not answer right away. Those designs that are shown in this post are not yet very complicated. When there was nothing to do, we collected them several times more and higher, the most interesting is that such subjects took part in it that it really became very difficult to believe in such a balance)
It may be also difficult to realize. With the corks and forks, it is not that easy to get a right balance. We had many unsuccessful tries :)
