Arc Lighter

Why use a match or lighter when you can use thousands of volts of rechargeable electricity instead?

Magic Chain Wine Holder

Exactly as it looks. Well made and super cool looking! The perfect table centerpiece.

Gyroscope

Well-made and inexpensive, this is a lot of fun to play with–and great for teaching some cool physics!

CMY Color Cubes

A translucent acrylic cube with cyan, magenta, and yellow on each surface. Rotating it in different ways is a really cool way to teach color theory!

3-D Mirascope

This produces a fun optical illusion where, when viewed at the right angle, it looks like there’s a hologram of whatever small object you put in it. Great for teaching optics!

FerroFluid - Venom in a Bottle

This stuff is fascinating to play with, whether you’re 5 years old or 50. Also a cool way to teach electromagnetism. Also might be an alien parasite.

Double Pendulum Spinner

Chaos in action! The tiniest small motion completely changes the way that it will swing, but that doesn’t stop my brain from trying to predict it. I’ve spent hours playing with this thing.

Pendulum Spinner

This spinner works on a less cerebral, more kinesthetic level. It moves super smoothly and is very viscerally satisfying to play with, both from it’s density and it’s smooth motion. This is the one that people steal from me most often 🤣

Cube Spinner

This is solid metal, with the larger part spinning around the smaller axis in a manner similar to that of a normal fidget spinner. I like how decorative it looks when not in use.

Precision Spinning Tops

These feel very on-theme for Channukah season. I’ve gotten these to spin for more than 6 minutes, but some have gone higher than 8!

Kinetic Spinning Floaty Orb

👆The technical term for it I’m sure! This is a super cool desk decoration that, when you spin it, makes it look like the orb in the middle is hovering in mid-air.

Rattleback

This solid metal gadget spins smoothly counter-clockwise, but as soon as you try to spin it clockwise it quickly rattles to a stop and then (briefly) reverses its direction. The phenomena has been known for a long time, and is also called a Celtic Stone–I bet many folks throughout the years have been quite baffled by it.

Periodic Table–With 83 ACTUAL ELEMENTS!

Each of these are handmade by the guys at Engineered Labs. It includes almost every element safe + possible to include, even ones like gold, platinum, all the gases (in little ampules), and even uranium!

Science Flask Tumblers

These are made of laboratory-grade borosilicate glass with colorful, non-slip silicone boots, and a stopper complete with a straw-hole for the included metallic straws. I love serving drinks to guests out of them

Floating Lightbulb

This is the coolest piece of decor in my living room right now. I may need to get another one for my work/studio area.

Novium Hoverpen

Precision engineering, luxury feel, super cool floating floatiness! Owning it automatically makes you feel rich. Buying it makes you feel poor 😉

Coway Airmega AP-1512HH

This has been the best bang for buck air purifier out there for years, even at it’s normal ~$185-$190 pricing. Now it’s down to $133!

• Great for rooms ~500 sq ft, still a solid effect for the 500-100 sq ft range.
• Top Wirecutter pick
• Best combo of coverage, noise, and price (including year 1 filter) in this analysis of 50+ air purifiers!
