The Domino Effect – A Colorful Demo of a powerful mechanical phenomena that could topple a skyscraper!

A domino effect as demonstrated in the video above is produced when a linked series of events successively create a mechanical impact on the next item in the sequence to produce a chain reaction. Do not underestimate them as some harmless fun! Physicist Van Leeuwen has even presented a calculation to explore if a sequence of dominoes can topple a skyscraper-sized block at http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.0615. Each … Continue reading The Domino Effect – A Colorful Demo of a powerful mechanical phenomena that could topple a skyscraper!
