The stone mounted on the metal rod weighs seven kilograms. The sign dares you to try lift it a meter and see how often you can do this in one minute.
If you are really strong and well trained, I guess you could manage 30-60 times. The windmill in Lechtingen lifts the stone 170 times in one second(!) so a total of 10.200 times a minute. That's about 15 elephants - just so you know.
By the way the wind generator you are standing next to lifts such a stone 28.570 times in a minute, so 1,7 million times (=12million kg= 2380 Elephants)
I wonder how 2380 elephants would look...
Scientific Principle(s) being demonstrated:
Here the strengh of the wind is being demonstrated and nicely done I would say.
Briefly explain if the experiment was effective for you. Could it have been better?:
I did not actually try the stone - was not in the mood - but it is a very good way to make such huge numbers imaginable.
When is the apparatus/experiment available to the public:
24/7/365
