| Above, Left and Right. Although the surface was approximately level with a small initial push the wheels roll from the first leverage apparatus on the left side, to the right leverage apparatus duplicated on the right.This is due to the extension of slope possible through leverage. |
| Above, Left and Right. A careful measurement of the height at the starting position, and at the midpoint of the slope after the wheel has rolled past that point reveal that they are in fact equal in height. The wheel has rolled without a change in vertical height. This was possible because the lever raises the rolling surface behind the wheels, rather than lowering the point in front of them. Essentially whether the point in front is lowered or not is simply a matter of engineering the track. What is more important is that the current location of the cone (represented by the wheels) remains sloped. In this case, due to the simplified design the "keys" are located directly underneath the track, reducing effectiveness but necessary until a hinged cone can be built |
