"I used 2 inch PVC pipe with connector so I can store it
and used different connector so the rings I cut from 3 inch PVC
would not fall off. On the (9) inch rings I affixed 9 different
poly ropes on scale. The rings allowed the ropes to turn freely
while orbiting without a May Pole effect. Scale of only 20 meters.
(When I scale for 40 meters the distance for Mercury saw approx.
half a foot verses Pluto at approx 137' vs. 50', just too large
for a possible indoor space, plus cost) I wanted it to be able
to get wet, sturdy, cheap-under $20, durable, accurate. Poles
will disassemble for storage and portability."
