Crystal Caprice Kinetic Sculpture: mesmerizing transformations of a winter themed clear acrylic version of the Helicone via a specially designed base that provides pulses of rotational energy to drive the kinetic toy. Short bursts of spin impart angular momentum to the “petals” which then rotate until an internal mechanism stops their motion with predetermined spacing, and a helix transforms to an abstract pine cone- a pulse in the opposite direction returns the helix configuration. A creation o
