Exhibit Summary
Minimal Surface is a Electromechanical Interaction interactive exhibit in the Mathematics category, designed for science centers, children’s museums, discovery centers, STEM learning centers and family entertainment centers. Built as a hands-on, mechanical & electromechanical display, it turns an abstract scientific concept into direct, interactive visitor exploration, and is engineered for durable, low-maintenance, high-traffic gallery use.
Scientific Principle
In mathematics, a minimal surface refers to a surface with an average curvature of zero. In physics, an example of a very small surface obtained by minimizing the area can be a soap bubble blown out after being dipped in soap liquid. The extremely thin surface film of a soap bubble is called the soap film, which is the smallest surface area required to satisfy the surrounding air conditions and the shape of the bubble blower.
Operation
The exhibition items are mainly composed of booths, containers, soap liquid, lights, wire props in different shapes, etc. When the audience participates, they press the button and the electric lifting assembly will immerse various props in the soap bucket and take them out to watch the curved surface (minimum curved surface) formed by the wonderful soap film. An explanation board on the booth introduced the application of minimal surfaces in daily life and science research. 1. Press the button, immerse the prop into the soap bucket and take it out; 2. Watch the curved surface (minimum curved surface) formed by the wonderful soap film.
