Make a Styrofoam Kinetic Sculpture

Using parts from the foam cutting machine you can harness the energy of a small DC motor to turn wheels and gears and create your own kinetic sculpture. I've been doing workshops in local elementary schools. Cost of materials is about two dollars.

i typed in "people with no life" and i got this lol

@GUIC3DUP Kinetic refers to motion, so this is a sculpture in motion, not a perpetual motion machine. If it didn't need a power source why is it attached to a battery? Notice it stops when he takes his hand off the button.

can you tell me. where did you get that Kinetic Sculptor set thanks

WTF? seriously

[GUIC3DUP]

@kirkb0t Someone else mentioned that and I saw it, you need to not be a dumb-shit and re-write what was already posted.

@GUIC3DUP wow you really need to go back to school and take some physics lessons, then come back and delete all your comments

@GUIC3DUP not needing energy is perpetual, kinetic energy refers to an object in motion. In this sculpture the electric energy stored in the battery is used to set the sculpture in motion, thus kinetic sculpture. GIYF

watchmen?

I loved this. I want to show my kids projects like this that they can actually do. The wonderful wooden kinetic sculptures like Galileo's Bike require woodworking skills we just don't have. But cutting foam board is another thing altogether, and achievability for a beginner is a powerful motivator. I think this is an excellent demonstration. Thanks for sharing.

@jjasperchan yes kinetic energy is when energy is applied then it uses this energy instead of making or using more energy basically when it stays in motion without a power source
