Gotta get me one of these :) I have always been a fan of optical illusions in art and life. . . . . Ambiguous Object model 3: Another illusion design by Kokichi Sugihara of Meiji University in Japan, the inventor of this illusion and art form. A mathematically calculated combination of perspective and the physics of reflection produce this striking illusion that works in many configurations. . . . . . . #illusion #ambiguouscylinderillusion #ambiguouscylinder #geometry #mirrorreflection #physics #ambiguousobject #kokichisugihara #physicstoy #math #mathtoy #mathstoy #optics #opticalillusion #3dprinting #perspective #science #scienceisawesome #geometric #perspective #viewpoint #viewpoints #perception #perspectives #differentperspective #newperspective #perspectiveiseverything #itsallaboutperspective #flipyourperspective ( #📷 @techhdq ) https://www.instagram.com/p/By3R84pD-Zm/?igshid=62dvgbbhepsr

Building bridges with @physicsfun and our Catenary Arch exhibit!⠀ ⠀ Repost: Catenary Arch at Exploratorium: when an arch is built in the shape of this special mathematical curve (even with slippery blocks) the compression forces between each block are always parallel to the curve- the stack is stable with no tendency to buckle. The catenary is the exact shape of a chain hanging by its ends, also known as the hyperbolic cosine. Famously used in architecture, from the buttresses of Notre Dame to the Gateway Arch. 🌟With special thanks to the Exploratorium! ➡️ Follow the link in my profile for more info and where to find many of the amazing items featured here on @physicsfun #exploratorium #catenary #hyperboliccosine #gatewayarch #alysiod #architecture #catenaryarch #uniformload #physics #physicstoy #science #scienceisawesome

Paint your week in technicolor! Loving this @physicsfun video on our Explo Monochromatic Room!⠀ ⠀ Repost—Monochromatic Room: a photo of colorful San Francisco is illuminated by a very narrow frequency band of light, with a wavelength of 589nm- the characteristic spectrum of sodium vapor lamps at low pressure. Seeing color is both about the source of illumination and how an object interacts with light. Here a white LED flashlight can momentarily “paint” the scene with color. Sodium vapor lights are a type of gas-discharge lamp that uses sodium metal vapor in an excited state with two dominant spectral lines at 589.0 and 589.6nm, producing the bright yellow light in this exhibit. 🌟 #physics #physicstoy #physicsfun #sodiumvapor #sodiumvapourlamp #monochromatic #monochromaticlight #excitation #dischargelamp #electronexcitation #colorvision #exploratorium #ignitecuriosity (at Exploratorium)

👁✨ All eyes on the weekend! This video from @physicsfun gives us #thatFridayfeeling as he demos the Frensel Mirror Array in our "All Eyes On Me" exhibit! Happy #Friyay!! 😎⠀ ⠀ Repost: Fresnel Mirror Array @exploratorium : 360 mirrors arranged to reflect to a single focal point in this exhibit entitled “All Eyes on Me”. A mirror version of the Fresnel lens, where each concentric ring of mirrors is slanted toward the center, with the lager rings slanted more, such that the full assembly acts like a parabolic mirror.🌟With special thanks to the Exploratorium! ➡ Follow the link in my profile for more info and where to find many of the amazing items featured here on @physicsfun #physicsfun #physics #physicstoy #exploratorium #optics #fresnel #fresnellens #fresnelmirror #parabola #parabolicmirror #focalpoint #focus #science #scienceisawesome (at Exploratorium)

🌀 You catch my (spin)drift? Awesome video from @physicsfun captures our Spindrift exhibit in motion! Check it out!⠀ ⠀ Repost: Spindrift @exploratorium: surprisingly complex and graceful motions arise when rings are set to roll on a parabolic surface in this exhibit created by artist Shawn Lani at the Exploratorium in San Francisco. As the energy of the ring's center of mass trades to and fro from potential to kinetic, odd motions such as flip-flops, figure eights, and quick spins can occur in a determined but chaotic fashion. 🌟 With special thanks to the Exploratorium! ➡ Follow the link in my profile for more info about the Exploratorium and where to find many of the amazing items featured here on @physicsfun #exploratorium #physics #physicsfun #physicstoy #rolling #kineticart #kineticenergy #potentialenergy #gravity #chaos #chaoticmotion #energytransfer #science #scienceisawesome (at Exploratorium)

#Repost @depth_of_science • • • • • • From:@sour._truth Nikola Tesla is undoubtedly a Genius but his inventions are often over exaggerated. From the invention RADAR to completely single-handily developing alternating current, there are many myths about Tesla floating around. Whilst Tesla is rightfully given credit for his contributions to the world, and it might be time to get some perspective. As Mark Twain said, "“It takes a thousand men to invent a telegraph, or a steam engine, or a phonograph, or a photograph, or a telephone or any other important thing—and the last man gets the credit and we forget the others. He added his little mite — that is all he did. These object lessons should teach us that ninety-nine parts of all things that proceed from the intellect are plagiarisms, pure and simple; and the lesson ought to make us modest. But nothing can do that.” - #physicstoy #physicsfun #theoreticalphysics#physicsoftheuniverse #particlephysics#medicalphysics #physicians #quantumphysics#physicist #physicslovers #physicsclass#physicsjokes #physicsmemes #physicsnotes#physicsgirl #physicslove #nuclearphysics#scienceteen#physicstrip #physicsstudent #physicsmajor#physicsexam #physicslab #physicsisfun#physicsproject #physicslife #physicsquotes#physicsfacts  #physics4science https://www.instagram.com/p/CB4o5GtjuMy/?igshid=1b1gz9fdy9dpb

This is a Crookes radiometer (also known as a light mill). It consists of an airtight glass bulb containing a partial vacuum, with a set of vanes which are mounted on a spindle inside. Each vane is black on one side and shiny on the other. The vanes rotate when exposed to light, with faster rotation for more intense light, providing a quantitative measurement of electromagnetic radiation intensity. . Light heats up the "vanes" which then heat up the very thin gas left in the bulb- the black side of the vane is hotter and any gas molecule that comes into contact with it flies off at a faster speed imparting impulse to the rotor. . If you cool this radiometer, it would rotate in the opposite direction as the black part would loose heat faster and shiny side would be at a higher temperature and thus the molecules hitting the shiny side would give a push in opposite direction. . .
