Impulse Spheres

Impulse Spheres

Nine freely suspended spheres are hung in a row, touching each other. If the first sphere is pulled back and released to collide with the others, something truly amazing can be experienced. The impact force of the sphere travels unseen through the whole row of spheres until it finds its opposite number, the last sphere, which is forced outwards and, with almost equal energy, returns to collide with the row of spheres.

Three frequency Pendulum, stainless steel

Three frequency Pendulum, stainless steel

Three pendulums with spherical weights are suspended from a common axis high above the heads of the observers. The axis can be set in motion at any velocity by a rope according to the belfry principle. The correct rhythm for pulling the string and controlling the turning velocity of the axis making the spheres swing one after the other, can be found by careful trial and error.

Turning Circle with support frame made of oak wood

Turning Circle with support frame made of oak wood

Turning the disc sets two differently coloured sands in motion and these then trickle through fine funnel openings like blood through veins and heart. As a rule, like goes to like, like things join together: large to large, heavy to heavy. Mountains and valleys, shot through by regular two-coloured layers form on one side, while the other side shows increasing waves of erosion. .

Small Balancing Board

Small Balancing Board

During development of the embryo, the ear helps to regulate and balance the bodily functions between the mother and the unborn child. After birth the ear carries on its regulating function as a balancing organ. Due to lack of exercise and movement this ability can become retarded in many people. This can be experienced by standing on the Balancing Board and closing the eyes.

Large Balancing Disc

Large Balancing Disc

The Large Balancing Disc encourages groups of people to play a balancing game together. Each individual can experience how small circling, spiral movements can achieve the aim of balancing. The Balancing Disc is available in two sizes. On the larger, 3.4 m Balancing Disc, up to 25 people can try to attain combined balance.

Pirouette

Pirouette

The turning motion allows you to experience the space you move in as a space full of invisible forces acting on your body. Our bodies are subject to the laws of gravity and with their help we can stand upright on the vertical axis. This provides us with an insight into the significance of an upright posture. If you slouch you are only able to rotate very slowly around your own axis.

Partner Swing

Partner Swing

Here both young and old can just have fun by cooperating together in this interactive game. The human body is subject to the physical laws of mass. Various invisibly acting forces reach a harmonious equilibrium in the swinging movement.
You are transported into a state of physical well-being.

Balancing Rope

Balancing Rope

Balancing on a rope corresponds to a primitive feeling in children and adults. On the one hand there is the sense of adventure and on the other hand a feeling of safety; a fascinating game with the laws of gravity and with the sense of balance. We can all relate to managing a constant balancing exercise without straying into danger or falling either one way or the other when following a personal path through time and space.

Stone Pendulum

Stone Pendulum

The stone block allows you to experience the effect of mass and gravity, time, rhythm and weightlessness on your own body. Sit on the stone block and swing lightly with your eyes shut. Your own movements appear to be unusually slowed down. A hint of weightlessness can be perceived. Or try to make the stone begin to swing merely with a thread placed around the cable.
