- A most wonderful phenakistostrobe
- please email for the schematic.
- Post your Euler's Disk experiments, events, or ideas for education here (email).
- For best results, keep the disk nick free, clean the mirror, use a gentle
twist to start - do not let the disk wander on the mirror...With a steady
hand and a little practice you could beat the current spolling-time record (Vide infra)..
Rest the mirror-base on a hardflat table..for those perfectionists, you can buff / polish your edge and get longer spins.
Reference this event (1) in an email to receive information for more dramatic effects.
- A non-vector solution for EDISK harmonic motion is available: from a lecture
..please email for the new and improved annotated edition.
- Several famous physicists have an Euler's Disk..Stephen Hawking was on the list for 2006..
- Professors eligible for a free, demo Euler's Disk need to order with the code-key.
- A new movie titled, "SNOW CAKE" will feature Euler's Disk - release 2007.
- There is a new box out with more physics notes for teachers (see the physcis tab).
- Euler's 300th birthday is in 2007...the Technorama/China will host a 300th Euler event.
- The current record for an out-of-the-box spoll is now from Kurt Thomas (Los Angeles, CA) who
now holds the current record at 2'49"..Good Job Kurt! - the design time is very close to 2 minutes.
- ~A few prototypes from 1992
- Travels with Euler (3 problems from a set of 20) coin problems.
- Euler's Disk movies...Triad...send in your favorite...Square
