How They Work
The structure of a ferris wheel can be compared to two
bicycle tires. The wheel itself is supported on the inside
by tension spokes. These spokes are in place to keep
the wheel from callapsing. The two wheels are connected
by tension spokes and metal bars or pipes.
The seats of the wheels are positioned on the connecting
pipes and are hung so that they swing freely. Gravity keeps
the seats from going upside down.
Motors that are connected to or near the wheels keep
the wheel in motion. They turn in a series of gears,
belts, and pulleys all connected to each other.
Key Parts
Joints
Joints will be places all over the wheel to connect each piece
Joints will be used to hold the teabgs and keep them in place
Joints will be made out of "shell" pasta
