GRAVITY!
A project by Emelie Kroon & Serra Giesel
“Gravity (or gravitation) is a natural phenomenon by which all things attract one another including stars, planets, galaxies and even light and sub-atomic particles. Gravity is responsible for the formation of the universe (e.g. creating spheres of hydrogen, igniting them under pressure to form stars and grouping them in to galaxies). Gravity is a cause of time dilation (time lapses more slowly in strong gravitation). Without gravity, the universe would be without thermal energy and comprise only of equally spaced particles. On Earth, gravity gives weight to physical objects and causes the tides. Gravity has an infinite range, and it cannot be absorbed, transformed, or shielded against.� Wikipedia
“Gravity is most accurately described by the general theory of relativity (proposed by Albert Einstein in 1915) which describes gravity, not as a force, but as a consequence of the curvature of spacetime caused by the uneven distribution of mass/ energy. For most applications, gravity is well approximated by Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which postulates that the gravitational force of two bodies of mass is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.� Wikipedia
The idea is based on the principles of a scale, in the meaning that the two sides of the axis goes in different directions when different weights are placed upon them. We tried to come up with an idea with something that changes weight by time, and came to think about christmas and advent c a n d l e s Since you do not light the candles at the same time, they will eventually all have different weights.
We made two smaller axes attached to a bigger one in the middle. There are two screws fixed in the smaller axes. The screws also goes through the larger axis, but here they are not fixed, so that they can move freely - to achieve the tilt effect. The like fixed goes

In the “bowls” that holds the candle, a weight made out of lead is placed, to be able to have the center of gravity underneath the axes, so that the candles will be straight “candle bowls” are just all the time, even when the axis tilt. the middle of the axis, The entire structure is made out with two screws, that of brass, except the lead weights. into the larger holes in
