Illusions & Experiments
Things that fool your eyes, test simple ideas, or make you ask: why did that happen?
Vanishing Dot
Stare at the center and watch a nearby dot fade from view.
Open experiment →Equal Lines
Two identical lines look different because their arrow ends fool your brain.
Open experiment →Bending Grid
Straight lines appear to bend when a repeating pattern pushes your perception around.
Open experiment →Size Switch
Two identical circles seem different in size depending on what surrounds them.
Open experiment →Spinning Rings
A still page can seem to shimmer and rotate when your eyes move across it.
Open experiment →Afterimage Flash
Stare at a colored shape, then shift your gaze and see its ghostly opposite.
Open experiment →Paper Helicopter
Cut and fold a tiny rotor, then test how blade size changes the fall.
Open experiment →Bridge Strength
Compare a flat strip of paper with a folded one and see which holds more weight.
Open experiment →Coin Drop
Use a card and a coin to see inertia in action with one quick flick.
Open experiment →Paper Balance
Move paper weights around and discover how the center of mass changes stability.
Open experiment →Static Paper
Charge a balloon or plastic object and make tiny paper pieces jump without touching them.
Open experiment →Sound Cup
Turn a paper cup and string into a simple sound experiment about vibration.
Open experiment →Perspective Room
Use converging lines to make identical figures appear different in size.
Open project →Cafe Wall
Straight horizontal lines appear tilted between staggered dark tiles.
Open project →Moire Motion
Slide one striped sheet over another to create moving wave patterns.
Open project →Impossible Triangle
A flat drawing looks like a solid object that could not exist in 3D.
Open project →Color Assimilation
The same gray can look warmer or cooler depending on nearby stripes.
Open project →Size Corridor
Equal shapes look different because your brain reads depth cues.
Open project →Pendulum Period
Compare pendulums of different lengths and time their swings.
Open project →Paper Parachute
Test how canopy size changes the fall time of a paper parachute.
Open project →Beam Profile Test
Compare flat, folded, triangular and tube-like paper beams.
Open project →Center of Gravity
Balance an irregular paper shape by finding its center of gravity.
Open project →Refraction Shift
Watch a printed arrow appear to reverse when viewed through water.
Open project →String Resonance
Change string length and tension to compare vibration and pitch.
