Assemble the circuit and mount the merry-go-round base on

the geared motor (GM) shaft. Place cardboard figures on the

merry-go-round if desired.
Turn on the slide switch (S1). The merry-go-round or light

motor start if the circuit is tilted or moved. Experiment to see

which tilt angles activate which effects.
If the circuit does not shut off when left alone, then tilt it slightly

so it turns off.

Project 37

Tilt Motion

!

WARNING:

Moving parts. Do not

touch the fan during operation.

Build the circuit and turn on the slide switch (S1). An alarm sounds if

the circuit is moved, or tilted in some directions.
If the circuit does not shut off when left alone on a flat surface, then tilt

it slightly so it turns off.
Next, move the 3-snap wire from the points marked A & B to the points

marked C & D. Now it is sensitive to tilt in different directions.
If you place 3-snap wires across A & B, and C & D, then the circuit will

be so sensitive to tilt that the alarm may be difficult to shut off.
