Jaw-dropping Physics Toys/Gadgets 1

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 :
👉🏻 Rolling Uphill Illusion: the ball bearings seemingly roll uphill as if attracted by magnets of some kind. What’s going on?
👉🏻 Transmission Hologram: vintage hologram from the early 1970s. The 3D image is only made visible by backlighting the plate with the coherent light of a laser. One of the first holograms to be mass produced for those rich enough to own a laser back then (as this was years before diode laser pointers were available).
👉🏻 Caustic Projection Optical Element: the intricate geometries of light due to refraction through various curved surfaces of transparent plastic.
👉🏻 Slow Dance: a kinetic sculpture via induced vibration and high speed strobe lighting in which objects exhibit subtle and graceful motion when mounted within this special frame. An elegant electromagnet supplies the physics to induce the motion seen as the beautiful copper windings prominently featured at the bottom of the frame. Electronics within the frame send AC currents to the electromagnet which then pushes and pulls magnets on each side. These magnets are affixed to leaf springs to which feathers, flowers, and other objects are attached with elastic bands. The arrangement is then illuminated by LEDs set to strobe at just the right frequency to produce the slow dance illusion.
👉🏻 Uphill Roller: a double cone (like two funnels connect by their tops) will roll up a set of inclined rails.
👉🏻 Stirling Engine: an elegant model of an external combustion heat engine with dual reciprocating pistons which operates by cyclic compression and expansion of air.
👉🏻 Hyperbolic Holes: a straight rod, in this case a pencil, glides through a symmetrical pair of curved holes related to the famous conic section. The design is based on the hyperboloid, the 3D ruled surface traced by an offset rotating diagonal line.
👉🏻 Balance Man Chaotic Pendulum: a vintage stickman sculpture acts as a type of chaotic pendulum when spun up on a smooth surface.
👉🏻 Fresnel Minor Lamp: precision geometry and dichroic glass create an explosion of colors in this incredible creation by artist seanaugustinemarch.
👉🏻Hero’s Engine: a favorite engine in my collection and the very first steam engine ever devised, the Aeolipile is a radial steam jet reaction turbine, an invention attributed to Hero of Alexandria sometime between 10 and 70 AD. Water within the spherical container is heated to produce steam which exits through nozzles directed at right angles to the radial direction, and by Newton’s third law the steam ejected by these jets produce a torque about the rotation axis. There is no historical record of this engine being put to practical use in ancient times- except perhaps as the world’s first physics toy!
👉🏻 Viscous Flow Mixing Bulbs: art from mixing high viscosity fluids. Each LED bulb from EP Designlab captures a unique pattern based on the physics of nondiffusive turbulent flow resulting from the mixing of viscous fluids- in this case silicone resins. When the resins cure the pattern is captured and frozen in place ready to display as illuminated by an array of 5 LEDs in the standard E26 bulb base. With this process no two bulbs are alike, and all capture intricate mixing physics.

As long as you do not break the surface tension on top of the cup, none will spill. I don't kno where you keep finding all these goodies, but, bravo. Keep it up!

[@physicsfun]

Glad ❤️ Yes! Surface tension allows a surprisingly large volume of water to rise above the rim of the glass without flowing over. This physics demonstration also works well with a shot glass and coins, and glassware types that are wider at the top enhance the dramatic effect.

[@fraudbuster1456]

Also, the wide brim of the container allows for a greater amount of displacement volume.

[@carrotpowersb]

Nice video, an alternative to the Fresnel Minor lamp is the ambicube from Ambileds, which seems to be constructed from acrylic and holographic film

[@spacefan36]

You can add as many marbles as you can, without breaking the water surface. It can hold as long as nothing is breaking it (like a marble going in too fast, some little, sharp plastic edge on the glass or the water touching the side of the glass as it bends down, or gravity pulling stronger than the surface could hold)

the uphill roller really fascinated me. seems you could have perpetual motion if you can get the roller to change shape or make a track of the uphill sections. the steam engine took my fancy, of course.

[@waioramin]

The centre of mass for the object, were not climbing. Its just an illusion going uphill. The object is still going down.

[@purplealice]

I am learning how to cook Sichuan style chinese food. One of my cookbooks (by Fuchsia Dunlop) contains an anecdote in which she's taking a taxi back to her hotel after visiting a museum. In the museum she saw a steam boiler that had been made in the "BC" era. The taxi driver said, "We invented the steam engine centuries before you English did, and all we used it for was cooking rice! You created the railway engine! That's why China doesn't rule the world today!"

[@josiprs]

The forces that hold the water toghether at very strong (Sorry for an oversimplified solution but I didn't study physics in English).

The hyperboloid method was used for the cooling galleries in the throat of the rocket engine for the Agena stage used in the 1960s-80s. It was an elegant way to create the passages by simple drilling, without the need for multiple steps of machining slots, filling them with wax, and plating on a closeout. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RM-81_Agena

I'm guessing the question you are asking what is holding the water molecules together at the end? That would be surface tension from the weak hydrogen bonds.

[@physicsfun]

Yes! Surface tension allows a surprisingly large volume of water to rise above the rim of the glass without flowing over.

[@catmanlolgameing]

The answer to the quiz is the surface tension is not broken so it won't spill

The balls where dropped one by one which prevented the water to spill, If all the balls where dropped at the same time , The water would spill

да! Поверхностное натяжение позволяет удивительно большому объему воды подниматься над краем стакана, не перетекая через него. Эта физическая демонстрация также хорошо работает с рюмкой и монетами, а стеклянная посуда с более широким верхом усиливает драматический эффект.

Physics describes the real magic of the universe.

[@littlemissyjo8550]

Think about this: we study biology to understand living things. In order to understand biology we must also understand the complex chemistry that drives biological systems. The principles of chemistry are based in physics; the many ways subatomic particles affect the ways atoms interact and form molecular bonds. It is impossible to discuss physics without a strong foundation in math. Math is the language of God.

[@aporifera]

The way I like to understand it is that physics is the book of law of the physical universe, and math is the language in which it is written.
