Check out our unique spin on the Science behind Pinball with our exhibit building know-how creating one of a kind interactive exhibits and custom Pinball Machines.
The Pinbowl Chaos Generator examines how a number of variables affects chaotic behavior. The number of balls(variables) introduced into the bowl(equation) produces different outcome. Besides the math, the pinbowl has 4 bumpers, red, green and blue neon rings that light when a ball triggers the matching colored bumper. The total effect is a continuous cacophony of light, sound and motion as the balls interact with each other and their environment.
