A new thermal machine

They have cool stuff. Like the iodine sublimation tube.
But what a hassle to get it back down from the tube when we've played with it too much
Neon, medieval version

PS: Diiodine is, under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, a gray-black solid with purple metallic flashes composed of homonuclear molecules

But the best thing is ball lightning at the campsite with a big transformer. In the living room it's banal
I had 2 Tesla coils nearby and these idiot kids played lightsabers with neon tubes and went crazy.
I got a bigger one by 8"

Good Sunday !

You can find lots of pretty models made in UK or Germany here: https://www.gyroscope.com
It may not be the same price, and the result may be the same after a fall.

But I had an interesting discussion with the boss Glenn Turner who gave me some interesting ideas for the future, such as creating a prototype driven by servo motors with sensors everywhere! However, I still have a problem with budget and available time.

Have you seen my idea for 4 bar connections: https://dada-engine.org/4-bar_mechanism/fr ?
Doesn’t that make anyone want to make a model?
So there aren't as many thermodynamicists as I imagined here? (I have the impression that there are no more at futura, also I want to understand that the subject is surprising at first)
