Sisyphus Sand Table

This exhibit the dynamic beauty of electromagnetic art through electromechanical interaction. The exhibit consists of electromagnetic devices, sand tables, computers, metal balls, and touch screens. The core relies on magnet and motor drive technology, combined with computer control to achieve interaction. Viewers can select different patterns by pressing buttons, driving the electromagnetic device under the sand table to move the metal balls on the table, leaving trajectories on the sand surface to form beautiful sand paintings; After the pattern is completed, it will automatically erase and cycle back and forth, just like the cyclical image of Sisyphus in ancient Greek mythology, combining scientific and artistic sense. one Step into the exhibit and select your desired sand painting pattern on the touch screen Observe the motion trajectory of the metal balls on the surface of the sand table, appreciate the dynamic sand painting patterns and the cyclic process they draw. Electromagnetic driving principle: The electromagnetic device under the sand table works in conjunction with the motor. Under computer programming control, the electromagnet generates a changing magnetic field in the preset direction, which affects the metal balls on the table.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.
