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 :
👉🏻 Pixelated Playing Cards: what one sees is all about the lighting with this transparent deck of cards.
👉🏻 High Voltage Wood Burn: my attempt to make a Lichtenberg fractal by applying a high voltage electrical current across a piece of wood.
👉🏻 Shadow Stereographic Projection: 3D printed sculpture that cast geometric shadow. When illuminated by a point source of light (placed at the top pole of the sphere) the shadow cast by the rays of light represent a one to one mapping of the points on the sphere to points on the plane- creating the US Flag 🇺🇸.
👉🏻 3D Phonotrope Spinner: spiders on a treadmill!
👉🏻 Bimetal Seesaw Engine: candle powered heat engine- with bears! Any device that converts heat energy into mechanical motion is called a heat engine- like the very simple one here.
👉🏻 Lenticular Lithograph: amazing art from the 1990s by Jeff Johnson that uses an array of thin acrylic cylinders to produce this three image crossfade effect.
👉🏻 Fused Optical Fiber Magnifier: magnification without lenses.
👉🏻 Fused Optical Fiber Inverter: image conduit with a twist! Each tiny optical fiber acts as a pixel of the transmitted image- and here you can see that the bundle of fibers has been twisted 180 degrees to invert the image without using lenses.
👉🏻 Horizontal Hand Boiler: Amontons’s Law in action as heat from the hand raises the temperature of the dichloromethane vapor the pressure increases in one bulb pushing the red (dyed) liquid through the glass pipe to the other bulb.
👉🏻 Powered Spinning Top: this top will spin for days- until the two 3V button batteries are drained.
👉🏻 Compliant Mechanical Elephant: a demonstration of engineering using flexible elements instead of pivot joints when creating linkages.
👉🏻 Levitation Lamp: tapping the floating spherical magnet turns this LED lamp off and on in this interesting design.
👉🏻 Microlouver Film Samples: like tiny blinds the films only a allow light to pass through at specific angles.
👉🏻 Magneview Flim: making the invisible visible and revealing the hidden physics of our everyday world.
👉🏻 Fused Optical Fiber Image Conduit: this cylinder is made of one million fiber optic channels per square centimeter, each fiber providing one "pixel" of the transmitted image.
