I had never thought a late bzw. incomplete arrival of wf state could condition community diynamics, but makes a lot of sense. 3rd way soz a la Blair/Schröder was happily aborted. Nowadays people is trying hard to link workers' fight of the 70s with 15M & current challenges such as housing and clima.

This is a motorized lazy Susan filled with a rheoscopic solution. It’s only about 1cm deep and the pencil serves as the stationary obstacle.

Nice! The DIYnamics kits are a really neat educational tool.

The sphere is motorized with LEGO motors, following a design by the DIYnamics team led by Prof. Jon Aurnou at UCLA.

[3/4] Colleagues at UCLA developed the kit, great as a teaching resource to explain concepts in geophysical fluid dynamics. And it uses legos! 🧪

[2/4] it is a rotating shallow water #experiment, essentially the lazy Susan is powered by a #LEGO motor, and filled with a #rheoscopic fluid. Here's the setup:

I attended a DIYnamics workshop at the earth educators rendezvous and played with the Lego motors using rotation tanks. I was able to order a class set of motors and tanks. The lab was a huge hit with students. I’m gonna look into adding this sphere rotation into my space units. Thanks for posting.

Who else out there enjoys their #KitchenOceanography? Or, the little more advanced #DIYnamics, where a LEGO motor rotates a lazy susan to simulate the influence of Earth's rotation on ocean and atmosphere dynamics? This may be the greatest toy ever invented... mirjamglessmer.com/remotely-con...

#ITeachPhysics people you have to see this setup from DIYnamics - it's meant for geoscience demos but it's also cool AF. https://diynamics.github.io/pages/diyrotate.html
