Kishore (1999) describes construction of paper cone with frilled edge and loaded at the tip when allowed free fall spins while descending. Wind or air movement makes the cone spin since slit-paper strips when turned work as blades to make the it spin. The principle of energy transformation and concepts of action-reaction on paper strips free fall, air resistance, etc. can be explained with this simple activity with paper.
