Curiosity Tech
Every gadget on this shelf is a physics lesson you can leave running on your desk. Curiosity Tech collects objects that float, spin and glow for real scientific reasons: a plant pot held in mid-air by an electromagnetic base, slowly rotating as it hovers; a moon lamp and a light bulb lamp that levitate above their bases and draw power through the air itself; and an anti-gravity humidifier whose droplets appear to fall upward, an illusion created by a strobe light timed to the drops. Levitation takes a steady hand and a minute of patience to set up — each product page explains exactly how, along with honest delivery estimates, so read them before ordering. These are conversation pieces with a mechanism, and the mechanism is the point.
