#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3 Poinsot's Gyroscope, 2025 Physics of the spinning top again - its motion visualized via these dancing cones! The yellow one is moving, and its axis is also the axis of the gyroscope. Axonometric projection, watercolor pencils #SciArt #MathArt #PhysicsArt

Mathematical art based on the physics of the gyroscope, using methods of descriptive geometry. Poinsot's construction - motion of a thin gyroscope visualized by looking at three cones that dance with each other. Watercolor pencil and watercolor markers on watercolor paper mounted on foam board. By elkement 2025.

This has a nice Kandinsky feel to it ... or covers of Sci-Fi novels from the 50s/60s

Love this. It reminds me of Euclidean maths/art in a way. Great work!
