How Do G Floe Nets Work?
Golfton board is a common prop in statistics courses, science museums and fun gadget stores. Beads are filled into a funnel at the top of the board and then sprinkled on the top centre peg. The beads bounce either to the left or right as they hit the pegs and eventually collect into buckets at the bottom. Now imagine that the pegs were instead floe gates with adjustable valves that could direct the beads more to theleft or more to the right to bias the flow paths. With such a machine, you could adjust the valves or flow rates to create any distribution.
