Lightning Temple: Interactivation
Amoration
The core of our 45-foot temple is Interactivation, an open source synthesizer played by up to 6 people at once around a large musical Tesla coil. It's a unique musical instrument and a hands-on energy experiment for all ages.
| Location: Midway M1 |
"Over The Top" Self-Propelled Ferris Wheel
This 2-person Ferris wheel is powered by the riders, using arm muscles to shift their weight. Standing 20 feet tall and made of plywood, it's truly a green machine.
| Location: Midway M2 |
Whirl-O-Rator
This is a human-powered merry-go-round that can accommodate
one to six people at a time. It uses the same principle that a spinning ice skater uses to accumulate energy from its riders to go faster/higher.
People love it. It was in continuous use at Burning Man 2008.
| Location: Midway M3 |
Cyclecide Bike Rodeo and Carnival Midway
From salvaged bicycles we've created a fleet of double-decker tall bikes, choppers, tandems, swing bikes, reverse bikes, and more. The Heavy Pedal Bike Rodeo highlights these monstrous alter-cycles with stupefying stunts, while our pedal-powered carnival rides and attractions demonstrate the possibilities of human-powered fun and engineering. Little kids, big kids and kids-at-heart can all participate in our shows!
| Location: Midway M4 |
Camera Obscura
This Camera Obscura is a walk-in camera showing the surrounding scenery in full color and detail.
The rooftop lens projects the scenery onto a circular screen in the darkened room.
500 years ago Leonardo daVinci described the camera obscura which led to the development of photography.
