| Description |
Description: The animation is a schematic representation of two weights that are connected to each other. The two weights are circling around their common center of mass, the center of mass is stationary. The connection between the weight consists of pistons. When the connecting pistons contract, the rotation rate goes up. When the inward force exerted by the pistons relaxes the weight slide outwards, and the rotation rate goes down.
