Description: Hi Everyone :) Welcome back! I get asked often: "Where did you get all this stuff?" My goal is to share the real magic of science and physics- and to this end I will update here (and in my store) suggestions on where to get some of these toys, kinetic art pieces, and scientific curiosities for yourself. Purchasing items from the links on these pages will help support my IG page of science and wonder. Buy physicsfun toys on : bit.ly/2MOjFET (Official websit 🇺🇸) physicsfun toys on amazon : amzn.to/36RRxt0 Follow on Instagram : @physicsfun This video contains : 👉🏻 In or Out Illusion: this 3D printed sculpture incorporates the now famous Stubborn Arrow Illusion and features both a left and right handed version. 👉🏻 Infinity Mirror Tea-Light Candle: a candle holder with two sets of parallel partially mirrored panes of glass produce, through the physics of reflection and refraction, the illusion of multiple candle flames spanning out in two dimensions. A rotating platform helps access the full scope and geometry of the multiple reflections. 👉🏻 Polarizing Filter Black Wall Illusion: two sheets of polarizing film (with polarization axes oriented at 90 degrees to each other) create this illusion inside an acrylic tube. Physics magic! 👉🏻 Diffractive Optical Element: images produced by constructive and deconstructive interference of coherent laser light. 👉🏻 Matsuyama’s Paradox: dissect a large square into four equal quadrilaterals, rotate and reassemble- to find a small square is missing! Where did the additional area come from? 👉🏻 Caustic Projections from 3D Printed Optics: the intricate geometries of light due to refraction through various curved surfaces of transparent plastic. 👉🏻 Physics/Fun Scintillator Card: celebrating my 550k plus Family of physics, maths and arts here on @physicsfun- thanks for following! Physics + fun, two words that I wish everyone to associate, captured here in the art of Logan Kerby (@thanksplease) where three sheets of seemingly random arrays of translucent colored pixels produce words and images when stacked. Amazingly, shifting the stack of sheets allows a second image to appear! 👉🏻 Laser Lissajous: two rotating mirrors and a red laser project Lissajous figures on the wall. 👉🏻 Plasma Arc Lighter Physics: a rotating arc of plasma exceeds 1100 C (2000 F) on this flameless lighter. The breakdown voltage of air is about 3000 Volts per mm. Thus the circuit in the lighter must provide about 12,000 volts to produce this 4mm arc. The circuit involves a transformer with very fine wire windings, a transistor, and a powerful lithium-ion battery (USB rechargeable). The circuit produces high frequency current oscillations in the coils that in turn produce the needed high voltage- basically a Tesla coil for your pocket! However, I’m still working out the mechanism that produces the rotation of the arc.  👉🏻 Trapped 8-Ball: one more addition to my “impossible object”collection 👉🏻 Missing Edge Piece Puzzle: fun math involved in the design of this puzzle, which illustrates how the concept of area can challenge our intuitions. 👉🏻 360° Book: Earth and Moon by Yosuke Oono- whimsical art for the science and sci-fi enthusiast. Love the UFO abducting the cow!  👉🏻 Rolling Marble Sculpture: marbles perform gymnastics as potential energy of gravity is converted to kinetic energy. 👉🏻 MaBoRun Mini Collection @physicsfun Background music by : YouTube Audio Library 1) New Day - Patrick Patrikios 2) Tempos Vari - Freedom Trail Studio 3) Icelandic Arpeggios - DivKid 4) Cosmic Drift - DivKid 5) Interstellar Mood - Nico Staf 6) Can't Sleep - Eveningland 7) Vital Whales - Unicorn Heads
