Exhibit Summary
Stress chain is a Electromechanical interaction interactive exhibit in the Mechanics in Motion 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
When an object deforms due to external factors (force, humidity, temperature field changes, etc.) under the action of external force, an hands-on internal force is generated between various parts of the object to resist the action of this external force and try to restore the object from the deformed position to the pre-deformation position, thus generating stress.
Operation
The exhibition items are mainly composed of turntables, discs, magnets, backlights, etc. The discs are placed in a vertical transparent disc. When the disc is rotated, the small discs in the turntable roll, and the gaps left after extrusion appear between each other, which generates stress and forms a light chain. 1. The audience turns the turntable and observes the movement state and light path changes of the transparent disc. 2. Pick up the mutually exclusive slider, drive the circular magnet to move in the turntable, and watch the changes in the light path inside the disc.
