Hi Everyone :)Welcome back! I
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.
Purchasing items from the links on these pages will help support my IG page of science and wonder.

This video contains :
👉🏻 Ambiguous Object Illusion Mug: circle or a square?
👉🏻 Gyroscopically Stabilized Rail Runner: this toy remains upright on a single wheel as it travels along any thin rail or tightrope.
👉🏻 Fiber Optic Spray Lamp: a vintage fiber optic lamp sold by RadioShack back in the 1980s.
👉🏻 Double Pendulum Chaos: chaotic motion from a simple assembly of two physical pendulums (one attached to the end of the other) for which the energy of the system moves frenetically back and forth between the potential energy of gravity to the kinetic energy of motion.
👉🏻 Chaos as Art: a double pendulum with glow tracer screen.
👉🏻 Chaotic Magnet Pendulum: adding magnetic forces to gravity gives this pendulum chaotic motion- not random, but very sensitive to slight differences in initial launch conditions.
👉🏻 Noon Cannon: a working replica of a historical novelty- a meridian cannon where, upon 12 o’clock noon, the sun’s rays are concentrated through a precisely placed lens igniting a fuse which then discharges a miniature cannon. According to Wikipedia, in the 18th century meridian cannons could be found in European parks where they were fired off daily to indicate noontime to the surrounding townships. In the first video, the noon time shot is captured in slow motion and the rest of the video is time-lapse from 10AM to 3PM where the observant will note that I did not have the cannon pointing due north as it should be (off by about 15 degrees).
👉🏻 Fiber Optic Flower Lamp: found this vintage 1980s fiber optic lamp at a local thrift store- and it still works! The fiber bundle is illuminated by a lamp in the base and the color shifting patterns are generated by a rotating color wheel in between the light source and the fiber optic bundle (as seen in the last seconds of the video). Fun physics at a thrift store price.
👉🏻 Happy/Sad Spheres: one ball bounces the other stops dead. The bouncy ball is made of neoprene rubber and exhibits high elasticity. The "sad" ball is made of polynorbornene and converts almost all kinetic energy into heat and sound- approximating/demonstrating the case of a completely inelastic collision. Polynorborene is used in vehicle bumpers, for soundproofing, vibration damping, and other applications where recoil motion is unwanted. Swipe to see the drop in slow motion.
👉🏻 Crystal Caprice Kinetic Sculpture: mesmerizing transformations of a winter themed clear acrylic version of the Helicone via a specially designed base that provides pulses of rotational energy to drive the kinetic toy.
👉🏻 Precision Doodle Top
👉🏻 PCB Tree: green circuit boards in a 3D tree design with a simple flashing LED circuit. A fun kit to assemble in the holiday spirit.
👉🏻 Asterism in a Box: Swarovski pearls, suspended by nylon lines in a specific spatial orientation, represent seven well known stars in the Northern night sky. The pearls in this sculpture show the actual 3D configuration of the stars that make up the Big Dipper! Only from one particular point of view- that of our sun- do they look like the "dipper", and this sculpture shows what this cluster of stars would look like from other “near by” star systems in our galaxy. Note that large pearl in the bottom right represents the star Dubhe, a blue giant some 326 times brighter than the sun and the farthest of the Dipper stars at 123 lightyears away. The rest of the stars range in distance from 58 to 101 lightyears, as measured from Hipparcos satellite telescope mission data. From artist Caroline Bowen of Hypotenuse Studios.
