Fluid Simulation Pendant
The mitxela Fluid Simulation Pendant is a realtime fluid simulation, running on embedded hardware, inside a gold-plated hand-machined enclosure.
The development of the pendant is extensively documented in the youtube video and project page.
A very small batch of these pendants is now available for sale. Each of them was handmade by the author here in the UK.
Description
The pendant is 30mm diameter, and 8.5mm thick.
The battery is rechargeable, and there's a magnetic charging connector on the base. A full charge should last about 10 hours.
There are 216 LEDs on the pendant display, protected behind a watch glass.
To protect it, the pendant comes with a small acrylic box, with black foam insert and a clear lid.
Also included are a single-page manual, a charging cable, and a generic faux-leather cord. The cord is 25 inches which should be enough to let the wearer inspect or play with the pendant, but you may want to replace this with your own cord or chain.
Order
Sold out! I am sorry, all the pendants, including the prototype, are now gone.
Due to the huge amount of interest, I might make some more, but they will probably be a slightly different design. (Making more identical ones would be boring, and it would also devalue the ones I sold already.) I don't want to accept pre-orders just yet, but if you're interested, drop me an email and I will respond when I have more available.
