Our equilibrium model stabilizes paper towel rolls by utilizing compression and tensile forces. The cylindrical shape of the rolls makes them prone to rolling on flat surfaces, which inspired our design. By introducing a taut band around the roll, we prevent it from rolling freely. The compression applied by the wooden panels keeps the rolls suspended in the air, maintaining balance.
