How It Works
Kids assemble a central rotating spindle, attach balanced arms and discs, then add a gear-and-crank mechanism.
When they turn the crank, the sculpture rotates smoothly—creating beautiful, hypnotic patterns of motion.
Balanced opposing elements ensure the sculpture moves gracefully with minimal friction.
