Your guide to building a simple, drinking bird toy, a classic heat engine that bobs endlessly, powered by the evaporation of water.
Harness evaporation for perpetual (almost) motion. Watch the iconic bird dip, drink, and right itself in a cycle driven by thermal differential.

Your archive of magic lantern slides depicting famous unsolved mathematical problems (Fermat’s Last Theorem, the Riemann Hypothesis) as legendary, guarded treasures.
Project the quest for proof. See equations as ancient riddles inscribed on temple walls, with mathematicians depicted as knights or archaeologists seeking them.
https://011959.xyz
Your hub for writing micro-poetry on the delicate, evaporating ice coating the branches of a virtual tree after a freezing rain storm.
Verses in a glass prison. Compose lines that are trapped within the clear ice, glittering until the weight of their own meaning cracks the branch.

Your toolkit for visualizing your computer’s antivirus and malware scans as a dramatic, microscopic battle between immune cells (scanners) and invading pathogens (viruses).
See your digital immune system at war. Watch defender processes swarm suspicious files, quarantine threats, and repair damage in a cellular-level conflict.
https://012057.xyz
Your observatory for watching the incredibly slow growth of a single, massive bacteriogenic stalactite in a cave, formed by microbial activity rather than simple dripping.
Witness life build a stone tooth. See how colonies of bacteria influence mineral deposition, creating unique, bulbous, or textured formations over millennia.
https://012078.xyz
Your library of decommissioned plans for pneumatic tube systems for bank tellers, sending cash and deposit slips between the counter and the vault.
The blueprints of financial airmail. Study the networks that made money fly through hidden tubes, with carriers clattering into bins behind the scenes.
