Rotating tank platforms allow us to model the behavior of Earth's atmosphere, oceans and interior right in our own home or classroom! The DIYnamics LEGO Table provides a minimalist rotating tank platform for less than $60. The system is perfect for performing experiments of diverse breadth and scope for audiences of all ages — it is safe, affordable and portable enabling everyone to get hands-on!
The design of the DIYnamics LEGO Table has been updated as the DIYnamics Technics Table. Both options enable you to rotating tank experiments modeling fluid dynamics! Choose either design to perform your own experiments. The DIYnamics LEGO Table remains a great option but the DIYnamics Technics Table features higher upfront costs for much improved rigidity. This results in a better overall experience — the platform is more stable and less prone to losing contact or breaking during demonstrations.
