How it works: The pendulum swings in an area of self-intersecting magnetic fields, coming from a series of magnets mounted in the base. It is impossible to determine what will be the pendulum’s next move. Even if it doesn’t look so, no control system is used, and all the movement comes from the passive effect…
How it works: The exhibit shows the strength of electromagnetic force. Once you step under the electromagnet and grab the handle, you can pull down with all your weight and it won’t let go, until you step out of the base. Optical sensors on both sides of the gate detect one’s presence and turn the…
How it works: Revolving the knob, you can adjust the current in the tapered coil. As the current increases, so does the energy of the coil’s magnetic field. Ferrofluid in the tank interacts with the magnetic field and “climbs” up the cone. Tiny metal particles in the fluid align with the field’s lines, creating regular,…
