Astro.5.1 - Turntable and Weights A demonstration of the formation of the solar system or the collapse of a star to a neutron star may be done by using the turntable with weight. A spinning student with weights in her outstretched arms stands on a turntable and brings her arms in. Make sure the student starts off spinning slowly since angular momentum conservation causes the student to spin faster as her arms are brought in.
