Luna Kinetic Illusion: precision machined and crafted kinetic desk toy with helical motion illusion. A metal sphere seemingly defies gravity as a coil spins around it in this astonishing design by Kristoph Krisjans and the @mezmoglobe team. Currently taking pledges on Kickstarter where they have had nineteen successful campaigns. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on where to get this device and other amazing items featured here in @physicsfun #physics #mezmoglobe #vortex #spiral #kinetic

Luna Kinetic Illusion Sculptures: precision machined and crafted, these kinetic desk toys exhibit a helical motion illusion in which a metal sphere seemingly defies gravity as a coil spins around it. An astonishing design by Kristoph Krisjans and the @mezmoglobe team and made possible by a recently completed Kickstarter campaign- I recently received these two variations. ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for info on where to get this device and other amazing items featured here in @physicsfun #ph

Chaotic Kinetic Sculpture http://physicstoys.blogspot.com/p/physics-toy-store.html Kinetic energy is passed between the two conjoined spheres on each side in a mathematically chaotic way in this motion sculpture sold as "Jupiter". The base has a simple circuit that gives the bottom sphere a push on each swing so the motion continues until the 9V battery runs out. ➡ Follow the link above for info on where to buy this and other amazing items featured here on Physicsfun | Physicsfun

Stepper Motor Kinetic Sculpture: this base provides a pulse of rotational energy to drive the transformation of a Helicone or Lollipopter kinetic toy. Short bursts of spin impart angular momentum to the “petals” which then rotate until an internal mechanism stops their motion with predetermined spacing, and a helix transforms to an abstract pine cone- a pulse in the opposite direction returns the helix configuration. Lots of delightful math in this design including the golden ratio and the Fibon
