The desing is a Wheel that works in an open space, motivating children to use the neibourhood parks to have fun and use the spare time with creativity motivated by the light of the rolling wheel, generating a great physical activity that contributes to reduce and control infant obesity.

Step 1: Mold

What i did first was the mold, to give to the plastic the shape of the wheel.

Step 2: Circuit

the second step was the circuit (wiring) which is presented in the file. I put in a foam the mercury containers (a small ones), the battery, 4 small electric light bulbs, and the circuit with wiring. In this way, only when the mercury has contact with the circuit the light turns on, in this case the rolling wheel has to be vertical to turn on the lights.
