This kinetic sculpture breaks the rules of conventional mobiles, but obeys the laws of physics. It uses the principle of the torsion pendulum and multiple tiers of weights with high moments of inertia to store energy in those tiny stainless steel threads and dissipate it very slowly. There are no links, hooks, or swivels to limit the motion or dissipate momentum, and the thin, clean elements nearly disappear in outdoor light when viewed at normal distance, creating the effect of stones that are elegantly buoyant and gliding through space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the artist:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eArra David is a mechanical engineer who has been able to combine his technical expertise with his inner artist to create gratifying works of art made of natural materials and inspired by nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe’s known to pull up a chair with a cup of coffee just to enjoy watching these ancient stones doing their peaceful dance in deference to simple physics.
