Das Oloid / The Oloid

Stations-ID: D004

Instructions:

Place the oloid on the inclined plane and observe it’s movements.

• Observe the oloid exactly; can you see a circle or a square in it?

The artist and technician Paul Schatz (1898-1979) discovered this shape and
described many technical applications based on it’s unique movements while
rolling. These include use in ventilation systems or in mixers for homoeopathic
medicines.
