Action at -200°C – gases
We are constantly surrounded by gases – even if we cannot see them. We breathe them in and breathe them out, use some and produce others. Gases are fascinating…
Adhesive Air
Coandă Effect: How shape, position, and surface influence airflow. The Coandă effect occurs when fluid or gas jets deviate from their original flow direction…
Aeolian Landscape
by Ned Kahn Alongside water and ice, wind is the shaping element of the natural landscape. This exhibit allows for the pleasurable "terraforming" of gently…
Air Bubbles
A pump can be used to force air into a water-filled glass tube. However, not all air bubbles rise vertically. Some do, others choose more of a zigzag or spiral…
Air cushion
Inventive talent is called for here! Use scissors and tape to build objects out of paper that float on the wide air cushion. While testing and optimising, you…
Air Fountain
Dance with scarves. They rise and fall. Colorful scarves, moved by the airflow as if by an invisible hand. Choreography: visitors on the platform. by Daniel…
Air lift
The vacuum makes the difference. When the ball moves up the tube, the airflow is directed in such a way that a vacuum is created. How must it be directed for…
Air Mirror
Sit comfortably and check the stripy view at the end of the road. Now heat up the road. (A solid steel plate rapidly heats to 100°, warming the dark sand of…
Bell in a Vacuum
This is what astronauts hear on the moon. How do sound waves spread in airless, windless space? Not at all. When astronauts communicate with knocking…
Bernoulli’s Elephant
by Paul Spooner 2016, Cabaret Mechanical Theatre, England What is a pink elephant doing at Technorama? The Bernoulli Elephant is a work by the artist Paul…
Confused Sea
by Ned Kahn Here you can play wind god at will with a rotating and adjustable fan in a semi-circular plexiglass bowl filled with water - Aeolus would have…
Convection cells
by Ned Kahn L'air ou le liquide chaud s'élève, mais à d'autres endroits, il est forcé de redescendre. Ces formations sont appelées cellules de convection,…
Disappearing Glass Rods
Brought before your eyes: Optical density. Similar to how a drinking straw appears bent in a glass – here is another way to illustrate the phenomenon of…
Fog wind tunnel
Streamlines become clearly visible. This is how flowing air behaves: when it encounters a shape, it hugs its surface and gets deflected. The wind tunnel…
Hands-on Mirage
The laser beam brushing the surface of the hot plate is visible until you blow down through the hole. Your relatively cool breath above the hot plate makes a…
Jumping Water
If you observe the water hoppers in this exhibition object, you might ask yourself a few questions. Is solid water flying through the air here? And do all the…
Magdeburg hemispheres
Air out! Hemispheres become inseparable. Through vacuum pressure, two hemispheres joined into one cannot be separated anymore. The experiment of the mayor of…
Nothing but air
With a dark field illumination (schlieren optics), the smallest changes in air density (refractive index) are made visible. The apparatus is so large that the…
Slow Bubbles
Silicone oil is more viscous than water, so short jolts from the air pump allow big bubbles to form in it nice and slowly and rise solemnly. Of course they…
Soap Bubble Basin
Even big kids like to follow their play instinct here. With steel hoops of different sizes dipped in secret-receptive soap solution, soap bubbles several…
Water Music
This exhibit is not accessible during the winter months. Here you can become musicians and compose your own personal water music! Find out for yourself how the…
Wind Machine
This exhibit is not accessible during the winter months. A gentle breeze, a stiff wind or even a storm - you hear it all the time, but have you ever…
Wind Veil
by Ned Kahn This façade is a real eye-catcher: it makes the movement of the air around us visible in an impressive way. Thousands of small aluminium plates are…
Windy Pictures II
Wild Air: Selfie in the headwind. A fan blows air straight into your face. How does it affect you? The photo will show it, to you and your friends, as your…
