Claim 12:
13. The domino-type torque generator according to claim 12, wherein the drive mechanism comprises a first switch and a second switch, the first switch being pivotally connected to a first end of the base member, and the second switch being pivotally connected to a second end of the base member, each of the first switch and the second switch comprising:
a second torque shaft pivotably connected to the base member, the second torque shaft having a first half section and a second half section;
an elongated switch portion extending laterally and outwardly from the first half section of the second torque shaft, and moveable between an up and inclined position and a down position, the elongated switch portion having a length longer than a length of the plurality of toppling members, and a weight sufficient to topple a following toppling member; and
a shortened switch portion extending laterally and outwardly from the second half section of the second torque shaft, and moveable between an up and inclined position and a down position, the shortened switch portion having a length shorter than the length of the plurality of toppling members,
wherein the elongated switch portion and the shortened switch portion are oriented at a second angle with respect to each other about the second torque shaft, so that when the shortened switch portion pivots from its up and inclined position to its down position, the elongated switch portion pivots from its up and inclined position to its down position; and when the shortened switch portion pivots from its down position to its up and inclined position, the elongated switch portion pivots from its down position to its up and inclined position, and
wherein the elongated switch portion of the first switch is in connection with the first toppling portion of the first one of the plurality of toppling members, the shortened switch portion of the first switch is in connection with the second toppling portion of the first one of the plurality of toppling members, and the elongated switch portion of the second switch is in connection with the second toppling portion of the last one of the plurality of toppling members, the shortened switch portion of the second switch is in connection with the first toppling portion of the last one of the plurality of toppling members.
