free plans: how to create the
Domino Effect |
Basic Description
|
This project takes the domino effect to the extreme. Many of us have seen a large domino
topple where hundreds if not thousands of dominoes are set up only to be tipped over in
succession. In line with our uniqueprojects style, we wondered what would happen if we made
our own dominoes; with a little creativity we stumbled across a series of
unique shapes and sizes along with simple mechanical devices used to enhance the topple.
The resulting topples are quite spectacular, and if you like, you can view a short video clip of a relatively simple topple. |
