About Pulsar
Pulsar is a patterning sculpture with strong visual effects. The two large wheels rotate rapidly in opposite directions. The wheels are weighted so that their rotational speeds vary with each revolution. This creates a constantly changing and pulsing pattern of motion. The patterning wheels are backed by a fabric color panel. This enhances the vivid optical effects.
Although this sculpture uses the same type of mechanism as my older sculpture Meander, the running time is somewhat shorter because the wheels rotate faster.

I bought the Pulsar and when we moved the springs came apart. Do you have a schematic of the power winding?
I did eventually get the sculpture together and running. However I did find a spot that told about the directions, etc. Is it possible to locate that about Pulsar and send it along again?
It is a beautiful sculpture and will bring many moments of wonderment from our guests.
