In the middle of the spinning wheel is a heating element. Sugar is inserted in a reservoir above it. Sugar melts and can escape the reservoir. The spinning then flings molten sugar outwards. Hurling through the cool air the molten sugar solidifies in a fine, fabric like form that can be picked up by spinning a stick through the cottonized sugar. It takes some practice to make it look really fluffy and appealing.
Engineering wise there really isn’t a whole lot to it but know when sugar melts and figuring out how fast a spin is making the fluffiest sugar threads.
