Flow Ring

Constructed from a single strand of thin, flexible metal, the Flow Ring is both a kinetic sculpture and a mesmerizing flow toy. With one look, you'll see why it has been called a "4th dimensional Slinky". Folds flat and pops open into a beautiful 3D geometrical shape. Slip it on your arm or a rope and watch its translational energy change to rotational energy! Centripetal (seeking the center) forces hold the bands in their curved shape as they spin along your arm, instead of "flying off on a tangent". The effect is remarkable: the Flow Ring begins spinning while simultaneously falling, creating the illusion of a silver bubble. The secret is in how the metal is wrapped--the ribbon coils through itself, forming a torus knot. Get ready to be astonished as you watch this spherical toroid ring roll, bend, and flow. Comes with storage pouch.
