Kinetic Sculptures > Stalactite/Stalagmite Replication Machine

Detail of plexi-glass tank where stalactites and stalagmites are formed.

Materials: Aluminum, Steel, Glass, Air Pump, Plexi-glass, Vinyl Tubing, Soap Mixture

Function: Air pumps force soap mixture through vinyl tubing. The soap mixture collects on top of the plexi-glass tank and seeps through a succession of holes eventually building up a residue on the bottom and top of the tank which resembles stalactites and stalagmites.
