Spindrift

Spindrift highlights the spinning, flopping, near incoherent behavior of metal discs in a shallow acrylic bowl. Visitors are often amused and surprised by this open-ended exhibit as they experiment with spinning and rolling the discs into the bowl. The shallow incline of the bowl allows the discs to stay upright as they convert their potential energy into forward motion.
