RGB Ocean: A collage of sea creatures fills this artwork by Carnovsky design studio which is actually comprised of three layers of images which can be seen separately by viewing through color filters- blue, green, and red. This image came with a quality 500 piece jigsaw puzzle of the same design and the three sets of color filter eyewear. Another great demonstration of the physics and psychophysics of color vision.

Vintage Early Newton’s Cradle Design: produced in 1969 and patented in 1971 this early design of the famous desk toy featured 3 balls instead of 5, and hanging from plastic struts instead of string. Sold as “Knock It To Me” out of Covina California by Brutoco Development with design patent by Jean Pierre Abba. A piece of physics toy history- where conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy combine to describe the motion of this famous desk toy.

Vintage Newton’s Cradle: patented in 1970 this piece of physics toy history is more than 50 years old! This one still has the foil label that reads: Swinging Wonder Newtonian Demonstrator and was the first version of the Newton’s cradle marketed as a desk toy for home or office. The patent holder Lee Trippett manufactured more than 400k units from 1968-1970 out of his Scientific Demonstrators Inc. factory in Eugene OR. Conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy offer insights to describe the dynamics of this famous desk toy, but the best physics description is more complex- dozens of peer reviewed papers have appeared in just the past few years on this fascinating toy.

Lenticular Kinetic Art: on display is a spectacular use of lenticular animation that signifies the kinetic artwork of Jen Stark @jenstark whose graphic designs have been seen in Times Square and on the Las Vegas Sphere. 3D motion images such as these are comprised of an array of thin cylindrical lenses placed over interlaced multiple images so that each eye sees a different view creating the perception of depth and motion. This special display stand will rock back and forth for weeks using one AA battery in the base using a simple magnetic pushing circuit.
