As while, the installation controled by Arduino, which have different speed to turn on.

After comprehensive analysis, the specific value is the speed of the wheel rotation (Servo rotation). This installation to criticize the fast-paced urban life. Use wheel to metaphor the people who busy all the day under the big pressure in urban life. Try to find balance speed and build up personal system.
