Double Pendulum The pendulum is a highly important system in physics. The oscillations carried out by a pendulum find relevance in many different fields. In reality we cannot merely consider isolated oscillations. Everything is linked, nothing stands for itself. The movement of a single pendulum can be described relatively easily. […]

This interactive experiment deals with magnetic liquids. Under a glass dome is a bath of ferromagnetic fluid a liquid that becomes strongly magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field. With a joystick, it is possible to apply a strong magnetic field to the Iron-spiral. The ferrofluid not just defies […]
Bloom Our eyes are easy to trick. In the presence of light we can perceive visually, in the absence of light we cannot. An alternating presence and absence of light can be created using a stroboscope, something we usually associate with the disorienting environment of a club. In the presence […]

Moiré Patterns The term moiré originates from the french and describes a specific fabric, traditionally made of silk. It is created by pressing two layers of thin fabric onto each other when wet. The arrangement of the fibres in the two layers are almost identical but naturally contain small irregularities. It […]
