Many ingenious designs in the field of science and technology, such as the suspension control of hard drive read/write heads, lubrication schemes for precision bearings, and even aerodynamic research, rely on a deep understanding and application of fluid viscosity. Air viscosity, this macroscopic manifestation of microscopic intermolecular forces, though invisible and intangible, undeniably affects the behavior of moving objects, especially in high-speed relative motion between two surfaces with extremely small gaps, where its effect is crucial. Our "Air Viscous Frisbee" exhibit serves as a window into popularizing this key engineering principle. This 750*750*1500mm electromechanical interactive device is intuitive and inspiring to operate. Pressing the start button initiates the rotation of the upper active disc. Then, by manually controlling the handwheel, you can set a tiny air gap between the lower driven disc and the active disc. At this point, without any physical contact, relyi
In the global context of addressing climate change and driving digital transformation, silicon's value transcends the traditional semiconductor field, becoming a bridge connecting green energy and smart technology. On one hand, high-purity silicon is a core material for photovoltaic power generation, converting sunlight into clean electricity; on the other hand, it serves as the substrate for chips, supporting a digital ecosystem from artificial intelligence to the Internet of Things. Understanding silicon's dual role is key to understanding the technological path to sustainable development. Our "Uses of Silicon" exhibit invites visitors to explore the diverse applications of this material through a 3.5-meter-wide multimedia interactive platform. You can switch between solar cell and microchip manufacturing processes via a rotating wheel, watching vivid projection animations explain the mysteries of silicon crystal growth and circuit etching. The touchscreen provides full lifecycle.
Mathematics education often faces the challenge of transforming abstract concepts into concrete experiences. Understanding hyperbolas and hyperboloids requires overcoming the barrier between two-dimensional imagination and three-dimensional cognition. Modern interactive technology offers an innovative solution—creating multi-layered cognitive paths through a combination of physical manipulation and digital simulation. Our "Hyperbolic Gap" exhibit is a practical application of this concept, constructing a complete mathematical exploration field within a 3-meter square space. Within this meticulously designed cubic space, visitors can simultaneously engage in two types of exploration: in the physical manipulation area, they can personally verify the geometric relationship between a straight rod and a hyperbola by rotating handles and adjusting the angle; in the digital interactive area, they can control parameters via a touchscreen and observe the dynamic surface changes formed.
Still struggling with the question of "who revolves around whom?" Our interactive geocentric vs. heliocentric model helps you unravel this astronomical "Rashomon" in the most engaging way! This precise 1.2-meter square mechanical model hides two completely different worldviews. By turning the handle to switch modes, you'll visually see: when the Earth "self-righteously" sits at the center, the orbits of other planets are as complex as knotted yarn; but when the Sun takes the "leader" position, the entire system suddenly becomes perfectly orderly. Adjust your perspective to observe Venus's phases—a phenomenon that once baffled ancient astronomers—becomes perfectly reasonable under the new model. Press the button to watch the theoretical animation, and you'll discover how dramatic the most famous "cognitive upgrade" in scientific history truly is. Most interestingly, you can compare the predictions of the two models and personally verify which one better matches actual observations.
The human brain, one of the most complex structures in the universe, has long been a central focus of scientific exploration, exploring how its various regions work together to generate thoughts, emotions, and actions. Modern neuroscience has clarified that the brain is not a homogeneous whole, but rather a collection of highly differentiated functional areas: the frontal lobe governs decision-making and language, the parietal lobe processes sensory information, the temporal lobe manages hearing and memory, the occipital lobe is responsible for vision, the insula regulates internal perception, and the cerebellum precisely coordinates motor balance. Understanding this "functional map" is the starting point for self-understanding. Our "Brain Model" exhibit transforms this abstract knowledge into a tangible experience through a giant interactive model measuring 5.2 meters in diameter and 3.1 meters high. Six interactive buttons corresponding to different brain regions surround the model.
At the intersection of digital art and interactive technology, a completely new medium of expression is emerging. Transcending the limitations of traditional screens, it constructs tangible, dynamic images in three-dimensional space through the precise movement of physical units and changes in light and color. Its core lies in transforming complex coordinate data into coordinated commands from hundreds of independent servo motors, bringing the wall itself to life and transforming it into an interface capable of real-time interaction. Our "Wall Matrix" is a concrete manifestation of this cutting-edge concept. This giant interactive wall, measuring 3500*800*2800mm, is composed of hundreds of independently retractable and color-changing servo columns. When visitors make gestures in the sensing area—whether waving, drawing a circle, or clenching a fist—an advanced gesture recognition system captures the movement trajectory and instantly drives the corresponding matrix columns to retract
In our daily lives, air appears as an invisible, freely permeable medium, but in reality, air, as a fluid, also possesses viscous properties. The viscosity of a fluid is essentially a form of internal friction, manifesting as resistance to relative motion between adjacent fluid layers. When two surfaces move at different speeds in the air, they pull on the air molecules between them, forming a velocity gradient layer, thus transferring momentum and energy. Our interactive exhibit, "Air Viscous Frisbee," is designed to reveal this invisible physical phenomenon. The exhibit measures 750*750*1500mm, with a simple and clear structure. After participants press the start button, the upper disc begins to rotate steadily under the drive of a motor. Then, by slowly raising the lower disc by turning the handwheel, a fascinating phenomenon occurs: although the upper and lower discs are not in direct contact, as the distance decreases, the lower disc also begins to rotate gradually.
Silicon, the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust, hides a world-changing technological potential behind its unassuming sandy appearance. From purifying high-purity single-crystal silicon from quartz sand to fabricating chips using precision processes like photolithography, etching, and doping, this process embodies cutting-edge wisdom in materials science, physics, and precision engineering. Understanding the utilization of silicon is understanding the cornerstone of modern digital civilization. The interactive exhibit "The Utilization of Silicon" vividly visualizes this complex process through a 3.5-meter-long, 1.3-meter-high integrated workbench. Visitors can rotate the left-hand wheel to select different application scenarios such as semiconductors and solar cells; pressing a button unfolds a projected animation, clearly presenting each step from silicon smelting and purification to the nanoscale manufacturing of chips.

To all you self-proclaimed center of the universe folks (don't deny it, we've all thought that at some point), come experience our geocentric vs. heliocentric interactive installation! This 1.2-square-meter star-themed turntable will let you personally experience the entire process of how human understanding is "debunked." Standing in front of this exquisite mechanical model, you'll see two completely different cosmological systems. Rotate the handle to select the mode: in geocentric mode, all the planets revolve around you (feels amazing, right?); switch to heliocentric mode, and you'll find yourself instantly "downgraded" to an ordinary planet. The most exciting part is here: adjust your perspective to observe Venus. In geocentric mode, its orbit is incomprehensibly complex, while in heliocentric mode, it becomes elegant and simple. Press the button to watch the evolutionary animation, and you'll see how generations of scientists have moved from error to truth.
Dear light and shadow explorers, are you ready to witness a visual magic show without glasses? Our Phantom Windmill is about to present you with the coolest naked-eye 3D show! Simply press the start button, and this magical device will begin to rotate—and then, magic happens! High-speed rotating LED strips will "draw" lifelike 3D patterns in the air. Light and shadow dance in the air, sometimes fluttering like butterflies, sometimes flowing like stars. You can also adjust the rotation speed by adjusting the knob to see different rhythms of light and shadow changes. This is actually a trick based on the principle of "persistence of vision": when an object moves quickly, the human eye retains an image for about 0.1 seconds. The clever LEDs use this instant to "draw" continuous patterns in the air. Watching the light and shadow realistically float and rotate before your eyes, you'll be tempted to reach out and touch it—of course, you'll touch the air, but the awe is real! If you want t
