Potential and kinetic


Just a few kilometers up the road from Villigen lies Böttstein (an old post here). There's a powerplant owned by a company called Axpo across the river from Böttstein, and they have a small public information center next to the Böttstein 'castle.' The Axporama has a few interesting items such as this interactive scupture which demonstrates the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy.

Interesting idea behind the artwork, scientific, having to do with energy fields.

You're going to show us the whole sculpture, aren't you?...
Loved to see the morning sun in the house façade; stunning!

Glad you like it, Gwen and GMG.

GMG: the whole sculpture is difficult to show in a meaningful way in such a small image. I have a few other detail shots to share. And thank you for the compliment on the morning sun shot. :-)
