Ferris Wheel

Ferris wheel is a type of amusement ride. It is a mechanism which consists of a rotary input from an electric motor and a truss in a circular shape (vertical) placed on a horizontal axle support. The power from the motor is transferred via belt to the horizontal axle and ultimately to the circular truss. The cabins are connected at different points on the circumference of the wheel such that the rigid shaft from the truss is inserted into the bearing attached to cabin
