The earth, floating in a ring

Levitating globe

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.

Twelve pyramids and 243 magnets

A dozen pyramid pieces held together by rare earth magnets, so the cube in your hand folds into shapes without ever coming apart. TOSY claims over a billion of them. It's a fidget with a click at every fold. Holographic stickers glow after the included UV flashlight, and multiple sets connect into bigger builds.

Build the Sun, the Earth and the Moon
in stock

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.

A frog you can see but can't touch

Two parabolic mirrors face each other with a hole in the top. Drop the little frog in and an image of it appears in the opening, solid to the eye until your finger goes straight through. It's an old optics trick, 6 inches across, and it comes with the frog and a red ball to start. Anything small enough to fit works next.

A cow, mid-abduction, on your desk

A saucer hovers over a small cow and a beam of light lifts it, built from reflective film and LEDs so the beam looks solid from across the room. Touch the base to change color, and the tint shifts depending on where you're standing. It's a lamp, and it's also an abduction in progress.

Eighty-three elements, sealed in acrylic

Eighty-three elements, sealed in acrylic

An 8 by 5 inch acrylic block with a sample of 83 real elements set into the grid, each one in its own cell under the symbol. The radioactive ones and the gases you can't just cast in plastic are left out, and the listing says so. It's the periodic table as an object instead of a poster, and it's heavy enough to feel like it should be.

A windmill that runs on light
in stock

A windmill that runs on light

Four vanes inside a sealed glass bulb, black on one side and silver on the other. Put it in a sunny window and they turn, with nothing touching them. William Crookes built the first one in 1873, and the physics of why it spins was argued over for decades after. It needs light, not batteries, and a flat surface where it won't get knocked over.
