重力を感じさせない金属彫刻。正確に配置されたカウンターウェイトによって、宙に浮いているかのように見える。

contrary to the title I’m pretty sure these are actually obeying the shit out of gravity
This is like the opposite of gravity-defying
How long before someone asks if this can generate unlimited energy?
Lol
energizer bunny been quiet. real quiet
These are some interesting doohickeys
I know it’s the internet, and not everyone has seen everything, but I’m so tickled that something I saw on my teacher’s desk in the 1980’s is blowing someone’s mind here in 2025.
“Please… Make it stop… I have a family… My children… It’s been so long…”
I had small metal toys like this as a kid, had completely forgotten them until now.
That’s nuts
These things were really popular in the 80s.
I’m just enjoying the music 🎶
What’s the music here?
What they actually seem to be defying is friction and energy loss (air, sound, and heat)
“Gravity-defying”
Meanwhile it works solely because of gravity.
>…Gravity-defying
More like gravity driven.
when is it my turn to post this
I had a bunch of those when I was a kid. My dad collected. Them
EL MATADOR!!!!
i need one of these on my office right now
Be careful little guy!!!!!
I hear “Powerhouse” by the Raymond Scott Quintet when I see this. (Look it up – there’s a good chance you’ve heard it in a Bugs Bunny cartoon)
Gravity ~~Defiying~~ Using metal sculptures held up by precisely placed counterweights
Choice A: advance the field of physics by discovering the gravity particle
Choice B: Make cool ass metal sculptures that dance using simple levers and cleverly placed centers of gravity
Exactly, the whole point is that they’re working *with* gravity, not against it. It’s a masterclass in balance and physics, not magic. And yeah, give it five minutes before someone tries to hook a turbine to it.
Funny how these sculptures look like they’re one tap away from collapsing, yet they’re probably more stable than half the stuff on my workbench.
Nailed it
Spencer’s shout out!
No its not. Magneto just has a funny sense of humor
They are really imagination-defying objects.
These are oddly cute
I need one of those 😁 love the music too btw 👌
This is very creative
The one in front gave me anxiety.
The guy have the true spirit of a mechanical engineer. Also, this guy have his center of gravity located in his brain
“Bless me, Father, for I have just killed quite a few men”

Awesome
first i saw some “real” ai robot made of cgi and now this repost again. i think we’re developing backwards
Woah woah woaaaaahhh woaaaaaaaaaaa
The wild part is how your brain keeps insisting it should tip over, even while it stays perfectly still. The precision behind these is unreal.
Hey I bought mini versions of these at the scholastic book fairs in elementary school
Now I want to watch Desperado again
