RAINBOW MAKER

  • Principles: Refraction, torque
  • Interaction: The object is hung at a window with the suction cup.  The prisms can be swapped out. The gears are visible through the plastic housing for visual interest.
  • Construction: Suction cup, wire handle, solar panel, motor, various gears, transparent plastic housing, jump rings, and various prisms. It should be possible for most people to assemble this by hand from a kit.
  • Durability: Fragile.
  • Safety: Contains small parts. Not for small children. (Although I can see this being hung up in a baby’s room as a decoration.)

Idea blatantly stolen.
