4. That remind me of my favorite physics demonstration.

We had to drop a pencil 100 times from 1 meter up on a piece of paper. The resulting pattern strongly resembles an electron probability density diagram. That blew me away.

5. That is SO cool

The way the helices appear, dissolve and reappear and the cyclical nature of the dance are fascinating.

6. Now, we just need a kinetic sculpture artist

to scale it up a few hundred times for an outdoor installation :D

9. Reminds me of a video where a guy lines up metronomes on a board, all started at different times.

Soon, they all adjusted to each other and ticked the same.

Supposed to be an example of synchronicity or resonance, woowoo.

That was cool, though.

10. Woo. I like it!!

11. There HAS to be some way to generate electricity with that.

??????????????????

12. sure there is, but...

it wouldn't be stable. Any energy converted will be lost in the system on the resultant passes until there is no energy left.
