Eclipse is made up of

an arm featuring a counterweight on one end, and a 9-meter circular plate on the opposite end. Both the arm and the plate rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. The arm is fastened to the structure in an inclined position through a swinging bearing, and its rotation makes the plate tilt during its own rotation.

Five 4-seater satellites

are installed on the plate, and they spin independently. Their spinning movements are sudden and unpredictable as they are caused by a number of variables such as the speed and acceleration of the arm and plate, the position and tilting of the plate compared to the arm and center as well as the passengers’ weight.

Both the direction and the rotation speed of the plate and satellites can be either modified or inverted at any time. The plate can only rotate in the opposite direction of the arm, whereas the satellites can rotate freely in any direction.
