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 :

👉🏻 Perspective Anamorphosis: oblique graphical projection creates a wonderful 3D illusion, implemented here with color printing and cutout card-stock.

👉🏻 Magneto Top: a top that generates electricity and lights LEDs when spun.  

👉🏻 Laser Fog Light Show: making the invisible visible - a rotating mirror produces a cone of laser illumination revealing the complex and beautiful patterns of nondiffusive turbulent flow as the air sodden with fog droplets mixes into the ambient air. Looks even better in person without the flicker from the frame rate aliasing during video capture (although I was able to minimize it somewhat- well...when I posted it the Instagram process made the flicker worse).

👉🏻 Bouillant de Franklin (Hand Boiler): reversible liquid-gas phase transition device made famous by Benjamin Franklin who was one of the first to describe the physics of its operation.

👉🏻 Floating Hourglass Puzzle: famous physics puzzle- why does the hourglass not start rising right away?

👉🏻 Pin-Tumbler Lock: simple and accurate model of how a basic lock works.

👉🏻Pendulum Snake: 15 independent swinging pendulums, each with a slightly longer period than the one to its left side, create mesmerizing wave patterns.

👉🏻 Sodium Fluorescein: this organic compound acts as a special dye that absorbs energy of blue and UV light and then emits it as green light. In daylight a solution of fluorescein will appear to have a strange green highlight, but when illuminated from behind it is yellowish gold in color due to absorption of all the blue and green light that tries to pass through. This sample of fluorescein solution is encased in acrylic and made in to this odd paperweight I found on eBay. A fun physics find!

👉🏻 UFO Mirascope: two parabolic mirrors create a 3D image above the actual object.

👉🏻 Thermochromic Chiral Liquid Crystals: the thin layer changes color as the molecules of the liquid crystal change orientation and spacing during the phase transition from liquid (warm) to crystal (cool). A postcard from the amazing Exploratorium museum in San Francisco.

👉🏻 Tesla Zero: a top that generates electricity and lights LEDs when spun.  

👉🏻 Rainbow Twirler: shaped by angular momentum and centripetal acceleration- when the speed of the ribbon is faster than the flicker fusion frequency of human vision it looks like a bubble. As the rotation speed increases the shape flattens- similar to the way the Earth bulges due to its rotation. Found this fun motorized base for this item in a toy store last week.

👉🏻 Spiral Kinetic Art: hanging by fishing line a single rod of aluminum is shaped into connected helixes- one clockwise the other counterclockwise.

👉🏻 Moiré Necklace: kinetic art jewelry by David Derksen Design utilizes Moiré interference to generate pattern and motion.

👉🏻 Bismuth Crystal Pendent: element 83 on the periodic table, bismuth becomes crystalline when melted and cooled.

👉🏻 Piezo Film Flicker: a neon bulb flashes from electricity created by the mechanical deformation of a strip of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) piezo film.

👉🏻 Ghostly Lenticular: changing the angle of view produces a subtle morphing from a Victorian era photo to an unexpected ghostly version of skeletons.
