Visitors experience a table tennis match against a robot opponent that adjusts itself to the visitor’s skill level. By using two vision sensors and a motion sensor, the robot measures the position of both its opponent and the movement of the ball 80 times per second. Using AI, the robot can then predict the trajectory…

Spinning Chair exhibit challenges visitors to complete a task while spinning in a chair. There are five circles around which the chair turns. The outmost circle is the slowest one and so the easiest one, and the innermost circle is the fastest, and so the most difficult one. The visitors moves up to the faster…

Moonwalk exhibit simulates astronauts’ walking and movement on the moon. Visitors enjoy walking on the Moon via simulated reduced gravity.

In Journey of Electricity exhibit, as the visitors pull the electric cable, an animation depicting the journey of the electricity produced in the power plants to the electrical appliances in homes is displayed on the screen.

Tornado exhibit depicts a tornado of water mist swirling and gyrating inside a large cylinder. The floor of the cylinder contains a grate in the center which constantly emits water vapor. Visitors can step in an have a closer look. The result is a beautiful, lively, gentle tornado which reacts to a visitor’s touch.

With Slinky Treadmill exhibit, visitors place a slinky on the treadmill and observe the amazing walking behavior of the slinky which can be explored for some minutes. https://sebaexhibits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Slinky-Treadmill-At-The-Exploratorium.mp4

This iconic exhibit illustrates the chaos theory and is mostly used as an attractive outdoor exhibit. While mesmerized by the magical movements of the buckets, visitors observe the chaotic movements caused by the butterfly effect of the angular momentum.

In Constellation Wall exhibit, visitors select a constellation at a console via push-buttons. The selected constellation lights up in the environmental star panels.

In the Construction Role Play area, kids can operate a hand-powered crank to move soft foam stones and bricks to a conveyor belt and build structures using foam materials.

With Whisper Dish exhibit, one visitor whispers into the focal point of one whispering dish, while a second visitor stands listening at the focal point of the second dish.

“Visitors experience past earthquakes up to intensity 8 and learn how to prepare for a real one. The Earthquake Simulator is furnished with tables and other movable objects. Using real recorded seismic signals and with no risk, visitors can experience the phenomenon of an “”earthquake””.” https://sebaexhibits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Earthquake-Simulator.mp4

With Archery exhibit, visitors experience practicing archery and collect as much points as possible by hitting virtyally the targets on the screen.

Energy Table exhibit involves three types of clean energy sources: solar, wind, and hydropower. The solar power section has two light sources, two solar cell panels, two voltmeters, and two mirrors attached on the table with a joint. Each mirror is manipulated by one visitor and they race with each other to generate higher current.…

Bernoulli Blower exhibit illustrates Bernoulli’s Principle. Visitors observe how air moving at high speed has lower pressure than still air. Upward force from the air stream keeps the ball aloft. The air blowing around the ball creates a pocket of low pressure. When the ball moves to the side of the pocket, the higher pressure…

Dizzy Tunnel exhibit turns LEDs on and off to generate the visual illusion of movement. Visitors may lose their balance or feel dizzy inside the tunnel, because of contradictory sensory messages between their vision (the world is spinning) and their balance receptors (the ground is perfectly still). https://sebaexhibits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Dizzy-Tunnel-at-Museum-of-Illusion-KC.mp4

Sand Pendulum is an exhibit which is sure to bring out the playfulness and delight the imagination of any participant. The purpose of this exhibit is to provide a graphic illustration of the interplay between two simple harmonic motions. https://sebaexhibits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Lancaster-Science-Factory-Sand-Pendulum-Exhibit.mp4

Orrery exhibit simulates moving model of the Solar System.

Earth Orbit exhibit lets visitors to observe the Earth from the International Space Station of NASA.
