Slinky Juggling Machine
This pneumatic machine juggles a slinky between platforms.
This is the first of many kinetic sculptures. It is currently a proof of concept built out of scrap fiberboard, to test the feasibility of a larger scale installation piece. There are 6 sensors and 28 that flip the slinky from one platform to the other in a controlled fashion. Electromagnets on each platform give the slinky ability to change direction.
