Product Information

Cryophorus - a glass container with two bulbs containing liquid water and water vapor. It is used in physics courses to demonstrate rapid freezing by evaporation In Australian contemporary playwright John Romeril's play The Floating World, drinking birds are a symbolic prop which represent the progression of Les' insanity. [26] They are referred to as "dippy birds" and are perhaps used to symbolize insanity due to Romeril's opinion that they are insane for their uselessness and repeatability.

Among video games, the drinking bird appeared as the "dunkin' dragon" in the Sierra game Quest for Glory (1989), in the Gremlin Interactive game Normality (1996), and as a "water bird" furniture item in the Animal Crossing games (2001). Porygon2, a Pokémon introduced in Generation II ( Pokémon Gold and Silver), resembles a drinking bird, and in 3D Pokémon games, it moves its head in a "dipping" motion. More recently, in the game Quantum Conundrum (2012), one of the main gameplay mechanics is a drinking bird that is used as a timer to press buttons. In the 2014 Creative Assembly video game Alien, drinking birds are frequently seen on desks across the game's main setting, Sevastopol Station.In addition, the Japanese professor of toys, Takao Sakai, from Tohoku University, also introduced this Chinese toy.

Air is removed from the apparatus during manufacture, so the space inside the body is filled by vapor evaporated from the fluid. [8] The upper bulb has a "beak" attached which, along with the head, is covered in a felt-like material. [8] The bird is typically decorated with paper eyes, a plastic top hat, and one or more tail feathers. The whole device pivots on a crosspiece attached to the body.Students can use the Drinking Bird Demonstration in the plan of an investigation to provide evidence that the change in an object's motion depends on the sum of the forces on the object and the mass of the object.
