pendulum的例句
Picture a pendulum, mounted to a backpack frame, and stabilized with springs on either side. The pack’s weight is attached to the pendulum, so the pendulum swings side-to-side as you walk. Gears then use that swinging motion to drive a generator. And the generator spits out electrical current to charge a battery.
想象一个摆,装在背包框架上,两边都有弹簧。背包的重量与钟摆相连,所以当你走路时钟摆会左右摆动。然后齿轮利用摆动来驱动发电机。发电机喷出电流给电池充电。
