👉 SpinForce Globe: entering through trap doors two spring powered toy cars hug to the inside of the acrylic sphere. The swinging is maintained by a simple magnetic kicking circuit that pushes a magnet in the bottom of the pendulum until the AAA battery runs down in a few weeks. This Getty Museum postcard captures about 40 frames of a 2001 art video by Martin Kersels and is looped as the card rocks to and fro. 👉 Automated Lenticular Display: motion animation lenticular postcard with magnetic pendulum rocking display.

The capsule glides on bearings for long spin times. 👉 SpinFlo: kinetic art with rheoscopic fluid in a rotating base. Only from the point of view of our sun do they look like the 'dipper'- note that one star is much further away than the others. Love the UFO abducting the cow! 👉 Big Dipper in a Box: fiber optic points of light represent the actual configuration of the stars that make up the Big Dipper.

👉 360° Book: Earth and Moon by Yosuke Oono- whimsical art for the science and sci-fi enthusiast. 👉 Plasma Arc Lighter Physics: dual arcs of plasma exceed 1100 C (2000 F) on this flameless lighter. 👉 Primed Siphon: liquid moves until the water levels are equal- curious combination of the effects of gravity, molecular cohesion, and atmospheric pressure. 👉 Kinetic Rubin Vase by exploratorium 👉 I ❤️ Holograms: put on these specs and every source of light gets a holographic image of a heart overlaid- in this case a candle flame and a dot from a red laser. 👉 Rubin Vase: the physics and psychophysics of vision and perception are on display with this glazed ceramic version of psychologist Edgar Rubin's famous vase. In this design by Zanwen Li, the bottom cord engages the light switch.

Hi Everyone :) Welcome back! I get asked often: 'Where did you get all this stuff?' My goal is to share the real magic of science and physics- and to this end I will update here (and in my store) suggestions on where to get some of these toys, kinetic art pieces, and scientific curiosities for yourself.
