Contrur: cone-shaped geometric structures

shape effect

Description

“Contur” is an experimental product developed for a technological and scientific exploration of the shape effect that can affect biological, chemical, electronic and environmental systems. The system consists of cones inserted into each other on 0, 1/3 or 1/2 of their height (the focus position of 0%, 33% or 50%). Each cone is made from organic polymer coated by copper from both sides. Minimal thickness of each polymer/copper layer is 0.3 mm. Cones have a golden ratio in relation between the height and the base diameter.

The small size system has 3 or 4 cones with 0% or 33% focus position, the middle size generator — 5 or 7 cones with 0% and 33% focus position. Change of the focus position can be performed by users.  

Applications

  • diverse experiments with the shape effect
  • passive generation of weak non-EM emission based on the shape effect
  • exploring “the effect of pyramid”
  • structural amplifiers for long-range signal transmission on receiver or transmitor sides
  • experimental systems for exploring the imprinting effect with different modulating materials and feedback loops

Delivery

  • Large copper-biopolymer cones, assembled or partially assembled (to reduce the risk of transpotration damages) in an acryl box
  • Small copper-biopolymer cone, assembled in the back part of the device
  • Small copper-biopolymer cone + metal cone for assembling in the front part (not assembled)
