The wall moves when you do

Kinetic spiral wall art

A spiral mesh printed over a white background, and the pattern shifts as you walk past it, a moiré effect that works in daylight without batteries. Twelve inches, hangs on a wall or stands on a shelf. It's a trick of geometry rather than electronics, so there's nothing to charge.

Build the Sun, the Earth and the Moon

Build the Sun, the Earth and the Moon

A wooden kit that assembles into three spheres on gears: the Sun in the middle, the Earth going around it, the Moon going around the Earth. Turn the crank and you get the phases of the moon, a year, and a reasonable excuse for why eclipses don't happen every month. It's a school demonstration built for a desk, and it's the assembly that makes it stick.

The plant grows out of its mouth

Plant something with long leaves in the top of this resin head and it grows hair. Three inch opening, drain hole in the base, so it's a real planter and not just a face. The expression it wears is asking for a kiss, and you'll be looking at it every day.

A ball draws in sand all day
in stock

A ball draws in sand all day

A steel ball rolls through fine sand under a bamboo frame, guided by a magnet underneath, leaving patterns behind it. Pick from hundreds of them in the app or draw your own. There's an LED ring for the evening. It's slow on purpose, and people stop mid-sentence to watch it.

Crystals that claim to know the forecast

Crystals that claim to know the forecast

A sealed glass bottle of camphor solution on a wood base. The crystals inside grow, cloud and settle over the day, and 19th-century sailors read the patterns as a forecast. Admiral FitzRoy carried one on the Beagle. Whether it beats a phone is not the question; it's a slow, changing object on a shelf, and the maker includes a card explaining the old interpretations.

A pyramid of uranium ore
in stock

A pyramid of uranium ore

Sold to people who own a Geiger counter and need something to point it at. The ore fluoresces under ultraviolet light and reads hot enough to prove the instrument works. This is a specimen quantity, the amount the rules allow to ship. Shelf, display case, cloud chamber. Not the nightstand.

The earth, floating in a ring

The earth, floating in a ring

An electromagnet in the ring holds a small globe in the air and a line of LEDs lights it from the frame. Plug it in, hold the globe steady until it catches, let go. It takes a few tries the first time and none after that. The ring is easier to set than the C shaped ones.
