    Hypnotic Gadgets


    Rotopault Kinetic Sculpture: The brainchild of Brad Litwin, the Rotopault is a kinetic sculpture that launches and catches a ball as it rotates. Incredibly simple yet incredibly hypnotic. [Link]


    Waterfall "Printer": This waterfall installation located in the Canal City Hakata shopping complex in Fukuoka, Japan can form intricate patters using water sprayed from hundreds of nozzles that are precisely controlled by computers. [Link]


    Cloud: Cloud is a digital sculpture designed by the team at Troika and it is currently hanging in Terminal 5 at London's Heathrow Airport. The 16-foot sculpture consists of 4,638 dots that switch from silver to black with an easy flick, an aluminum body, two electronic drivers, 134 distribution boards and over 16,500 feet of cable controlling the movement.

    LED Fish Tank: This giant LED fish tank in "The Place" mall located in Beijing China utilizes five screens to generate over 26,606 square feet of viewable space. [Link]


    DL 3000 Book Scanner: This baby can scan 3000 pages an hour. Boring, yes...but somehow it is hard to take your eyes off it. [Link]

        No longer stock ride height, rolling as low as a daily driver in New England should without worrying about breaking an oil pan. :up:

          Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing :)

          Well, posterity, you will never know what it cost us to preserve your freedom. I only hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
