A flower made of von Kármán vortices.

This is a motorized lazy Susan filled with a rheoscopic solution. It’s only about 1cm deep and the pencil serves as the stationary obstacle.

Rotating (DIYnamics) kitchen oceanography experiments - Adventures in Oceanography and Teaching On this page I’m sharing a bunch of videos that I did in my kitchen, using the DIYnamics setup for a rotating table. I recorded these videos in May 2020 because several of my friends were planning on ...

Who else out there enjoys their #KitchenOceanography? Or, the little more advanced #DIYnamics, where a LEGO motor rotates a lazy susan to simulate the influence of Earth's rotation on ocean and atmosphere dynamics? This may be the greatest toy ever invented... mirjamglessmer.com/remotely-con...

A view of the setup to make the vortices. A round platform (i.e. a lazy susan) filled with rheoscopic fluid. A Lego motor drives the platform. The pencil is stationary and held partially submerged by a helping hand device.

[2/4] it is a rotating shallow water #experiment, essentially the lazy Susan is powered by a #LEGO motor, and filled with a #rheoscopic fluid. Here's the setup:
