It took 10 YEARS (But it was worth it) - Amazing Science Gadgets/Toys 4

Hello Everyone 😀 Sit back and relax. Enjoy 9 minutes of oddly satisfying scientific curiosities featuring various mind-blowing stuff! If you guys liked this video please follow us on Instagram : And subscribe to our channel @physicsfun Buy them on : This video contains: 👉🏻 Right Pointing Arrow: spin this arrow 180 degrees and it still points to the right- only in a mirror will it point left (and only to the left). Another incredible ambiguous object illusion by mathematician Kokichi Sugihara of Meiji University in Japan, the inventor of this illusion and art form. A clever combination of reflection, perspective, and viewing angle produce this striking illusion. 👉🏻 Nimbus 2000: physics wizardry (via a 2D magnetic trap) creates the illusion of Harry Potter magic. This broomstick won’t fly, but will remain levitated due to a careful arrangement of permanent magnets in the base and bristles. 👉🏻 Vintage Tin Interkozmosz Space Mobile: a toy employing the Coandă effect where an air stream attaches and wraps around the silver styrofoam asteroid/satellite sphere trapping it in the center of the stream. Amazingly the sphere stays trapped even when the toy is moving. 👉🏻 Dymaxion Map: today some math fun with this unique mapping of the Earth where the globe is projected onto an icosahedron and then unfolded onto two dimensions. 👉🏻 “Top Secret“: this top will stay spinning for more than a week- because it is actually a motor! The top is a dipole magnet (as revealed by Magneview film) and the base has an electromagnet that gives the dipole a push when the top comes near the center. 👉🏻 Niji Cube: a stunning kinetic art object constructed from acrylic and thin layers of plastic diffraction grating. Just add a white light source to produce an explosion of vivid colors with these creations by artist Minato Takeo. 👉🏻 Mathematica Eames Souvenir: from the 1961 opening of “Mathematica: A World of Numbers and Beyond” by the famous design team of Charles and Ray Eames this souvenir of card stock features a tessellation of the hyperbolic plane (a Poincaré Disk) with triangles on the front and on the obverse is the title of the exhibit but hidden within an anamorphic font. Amazing math art before the age of computer graphics! 👉🏻 Sonic Photonic Visualizer: a laser reflects from a small mirror mounted on a stretched rubber membrane which allows the projection of complex curves produced by the deformation of the membrane from sound waves. Yet another amazing kit from the VSauce team at (@thecuriositybox) which uses a balloon as the membrane for the top of the “drum”. 👉🏻 Lenticular Flame Kinetic Art: “cool candle” whimsical acrylic kinetic sculpture inspired by a vintage lenticular flicker toy from the 1970s. These flicker images are produced by tiny cylindrical lens arrayed in such a way that allows for multiple images to show depending on the angle of view. 👉🏻 Twin Fan Lissajous: two rotating fans with LED lights form Lissajous figures when spun around common axis. 👉🏻 Mini-Light Pipe Sculptures: internal reflection constrains most of the LED light from the base to propagate along the contoured acrylic rod- the physics of fiber optics. 👉🏻 Mesmoid Kinetic Object: an elegant physical pendulum for the desk top demonstrates curious periodic motion. 👉🏻 Optical Glass Cube Light Sculpture: multiple internal reflections create intricate and delicate patterns within this crystal glass cube with beveled prismatic edges and concave lens shaped indentations on three faces. The bottom three faces are coated with special metal oxide layers that create color through the physics of thin film interference. This is the smallest (4.0 cm on edge) cube featured by artist Harold Lustig, famous for his precision optical glass sculptures. 👉🏻 Viral stuff on internet vs @physicsfun 👉🏻 BONUS CLIP 👉🏻 Randomly selected comment Background music by : Flow by Nomyn Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: Music promoted by Audio Library Thanks for watching ❤
