About
This subreddit is dedicated to showcasing interesting and entertaining physics principles in work in the real world or in a demonstration.
Rules
Submit gifs that show the interesting world of physics. Be it pendulums, crashes, or physical models.
Explanations for whatever is happening in the gif would be preferred, but isn't required. If you understand what's happening in the gif, feel free to put an explanation in the comments.
Also, please upvote intelligent and informative comments. Don't keep the upvotes soley for puns and references and all of that jazz.
Don't post videos.

Demonstration of heat conductivity of metals. Over the fence, only the portions of snow over the voids survived. The ones over the vertical metal bars melted away.

What is it
I shot this video in one of the creative spaces in Moscow, who has any ideas of what this sign is made of and on what principles it works?

Last WIP before the cone version in the color mix series. In a box. I did like the spillover when the RG & B lights moved to the other icospheres.

This simulation is what led to the "Maxwell tribute version". White light created from only red, green and blue lights. This sim has the expected result of creating white light from the component colors. For the final work, I filmed the RGB emanators inside of a cone to isolate the color mixing.

I learned how to use Blender last year in part to make physics sims. This one was a tribute to James Maxwell and his work on the additive color model.
