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.

👉🏻 PDLC Electric Field Induced Transparency: when a voltage is placed across Polymer-Dispersed Liquid-Crystal film, long skinny molecules align with the electric field allowing light to pass through without scattering- with the field off the molecules thermally randomize and then do scatter the light passing through, producing a milky white translucent appearance.

👉🏻 Deja Vu II: astonishing spring powered kinetic art. Crafted from wood this device has two disks and each has a pattern of curved spokes that can rotate at different rates and direction to produce interesting illusions of motion via moiré interference effects. A ribbon spring drives an ingenious mechanism that uses ratchets (and the rotational momentum of the disks) to create the various visual modes- a half rotation of the disks will result in 20+ minutes of motion. With a full loading of the spring hours of motion will ensue. Another amazing creation by artist and designer William Le.

👉🏻 "Swing Thing": folk craft kinetic art from the 1970s

👉🏻 Dual Axis Sand Pendulum: the kinetic energy trades back and forth between swinging toward the support arm and then swinging perpendicular to that path tracing Lissajous figures in the sand.

👉🏻 Scrap Metal Kinetic Sculpture: a bent spring becomes a coupled harmonic oscillator with two modes of oscillation, one along a horizontal direction and one at an angle.

👉🏻 Moiré Pattern Portal: rotational motion of this moiré pattern creates the animation of radial flowing motion.

👉🏻 "Focal Decoder" Holiday Card: hidden images are revealed through ingenious and intricate Moiré pattern interference.

👉🏻 Moiré Season's Greetings: rotational moiré pattern generation on a Winter Holiday card from MoMA.

👉🏻 Tricolor Plasma Globe and Glow Wand: an engineered mix of low pressure noble gasses exhibit three colors of glow discharge in the plasma filaments that rise upward due to heating.

👉🏻 The Mezmocoin Infinity: precision machined kinetic spinning tops with helical motion illusion- a simple and elegant physics toy for everyday carry.

👉🏻 d6 Cube Tops: symmetry axes are often associated with interesting physics.

👉🏻 Color Flame Birthday Candle Physics: the colored parts of these candle flames are due to excitation of specific chemical elements mixed into the wax.
