1E30.26	Coriolis dish and TV	A ball oscillates in a spherical dish at rest, and follows various curved paths when the dish is rotated at different speeds. A TV camera is mounted to the rotating frame. More.
1E30.27	Coriolis rotating platform and tv	A puck is launched on a rotating platform and the motion is followed with a TV
1E30.28	<#dddddd>Coriolis effect	Roll a ball across a slowly rotating turntable.

1E30.32	drop ball on turntable	A mass falls on a disc first while it is rotating and then when it is stationary. Difference in point of impact is noted.
1E30.33	Coriolis trajectory	A ball describing an arc is released first in a stationary coordination system and then in a rotating system.
