Tornado Tube

The ingenious device demonstrates the scientific principles behind cyclones, whirlpools and hurricanes. It simply connects two water-filled fizzy drinks bottles. As water flows from one to the other a spectacular vortex of swirling water is created – an effect that can be further enhanced with the addition of a little food colouring or glitter. The [...]

Triassic Triops Kit

Triops Longicaudatus (aka Triops) are fascinating creatures that first came into existence during the Triassic era whilst T-Rex, Triceratops and other dinosaurs still dominated. Their eggs evolved to survive long periods of drought, only to hatch once there has been sufficient rainfall. This rare characteristic enables us to safely store them until a time it [...]

Led Dynamo Torch

We’ve sold Dynamo Torches before but not like this one. The main difference is that the torch stores power so it continues to shine long after the handle has been squeezed: in fact almost no effort is required to produce a powerful light from the three LEDs. The advantage of not needing batteries are obvious [...]

Light-Up Kinetic Wheel

An updated version of a classic toy from the ’60s. The wheel is held to the track magnetically, and runs along due to kinetic and potential energy, which means that only small wrist movements are required to keep it in motion. An LED adds a flashing light effect to the pleasing, therapeutic motion. 26cm

Mirascope

A fascinating optical illusion that fools everyone and is a must for collectors of such optical curiosities. Any item of a suitable size placed in the base appears to float above, totally unsuspended. Viewed from the right angle it is so effective that the impulse to reach out and touch it is almost irresistible. Parabolic [...]

Space Tunnel

A most peculiar and remarkable optical trick, particularly considering the price. When activated, bright LED lights illuminate just below the surface, cleverly reflecting back to create an infinite tunnel of light. The lights move and flash in patterns to enhance the effect further.
When switched off, the Space Tunnel appears to be a normal mirror.
