Magic Wave by Reuben Margolin

Californian artist Reuben Margolin together with the Technorama Staff suspended 450 aluminum rods by 256 wires and connected 3,000 pulleys and sliding bars to create one of the biggest and most complex kinetic sculptures in the world. Interesting effect that employs no computers, only mechanical movements to create the result. Measuring 25 square meters the "magic carpet" contains more than 50'000 pieces and shows three characteristics of waves: Wavelength, Amplitude and Frequency. Watch the video for the full effect after the jump.
