THE ACTIVITY & MECHANISM

Connect solid geometry with curved outlines

A protected three-dimensional form and nearby cone-section diagrams provide two ways to examine the same geometry. In conic-section mathematics, the orientation of a plane cutting a cone determines the resulting curve. The supplied reference supports visual comparison; adjustable sections or internal fluid movement have not been confirmed.

REFERENCE & PROJECT SCOPE

Reference specifications.

Use the reference dimensions and operating information to plan the exhibit. The agreed project drawings define the supplied configuration, installation interfaces and service access.

Approx. L × W × H: 1,000 × 450 × 1,000 mm
Exhibit theme: Fundamental Science
Visitor activity: Explore · Observe · Discuss
Reference operation: View the transparent dome, interior cone form, and conic-section interpretation. A complete adjustment sequence is not documented in the brief source clip.
Power & supply: Powered versions can be configured for 110/220 V AC, 50/60 Hz. The current reference is wall-mounted. Confirm its backing support, access route, and any electrical requirement from the matching version.
Reference construction: Select component materials and finishes to suit the agreed design, visitor use and cleaning regime. The quotation and drawings identify the supplied materials and grades.
Configuration options: Appearance, interpretation language, controls and installation arrangement by project agreement
Daily operating schedule: 8 hours per day
Scheduled maintenance: Every 30 days
Factory dispatch lead time: 30–120 calendar days after design approval and receipt of the deposit. Transit time is additional.
Minimum custom order: One exhibit

Approximate planning estimate: 1000 × 450 × 1000 mm (L × W × H). Current circular wall-mounted body, outer ring, transparent dome, and rear housing; excludes the building wall and adjacent exhibits.

Reference configuration notes

Wall-mounted model: The circular model enclosure is incorporated into an interpreted wall.
Transparent dome: A clear dome provides a view of the interior form.
Geometry diagrams: Adjacent graphics illustrate cone sections and curved outlines.

Customisation, installation & support

01Reference envelope: Approximate planning estimate: 1000 × 450 × 1000 mm (L × W × H). Current circular wall-mounted body, outer ring, transparent dome, and rear housing; excludes the building wall and adjacent exhibits.
02Configuration: Confirm the interior medium, any visitor adjustment and whether a moving or fixed section is required.
03Visitor experience: Confirm the intended audience, accessible viewing and interaction positions, final instruction languages and supervised operation where needed.
04Service and handover: Agree access routes, replaceable components, operating checks and the handover documentation for the final configuration.

Delivery, installation & after-sales terms

Payment: A 50% deposit is payable after the contract is signed. The remaining balance is paid after acceptance and before dispatch, so full payment is received before dispatch. Payment methods are agreed in the contract.
Packaging & transport: Metal shipping cases or multilayer wood-panel shipping cases. Transport arrangements and costs are agreed to suit the project.
Materials & painted finish: Common material options include Q235 steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, PVC, acrylic, engineering plastics. The combination is selected for each configuration. Marine anti-corrosion paint with a piano-gloss automotive paint finish. Applied to painted parts.
Typical power · powered versions: Standard products: 100–500 W; oversized installations: 1,000–5,000 W. Typical ranges for powered versions. Confirm the selected model and final connected load.
Product maintenance: Suggested inspection points: clear dome and attachment, interior component retention, wall mounting and accessible controls. Confirm the service procedure at handover.
Installation & training: Complimentary training is available on site or remotely, according to project needs. If installation or on-site after-sales service is not included in the product price, the customer pays the actual travel expenses incurred, unless the contract provides otherwise.
Factory acceptance & handover: Mid-production and pre-dispatch checks are provided. Factory acceptance can take place in person at the factory or through acceptance videos. Installation and operating videos, written installation and operating instructions, drawings and a spare-parts list are provided.
Complimentary parts: 24 months of complimentary spare-parts support, starting when the exhibit is handed over for use. Covers faults not caused by the user. User-caused or deliberate damage is excluded. Exhibit Engineers pays the shipping cost of complimentary spare parts during the 24-month support period.
Warranty & repair labour: The whole-exhibit warranty period and repair labour scope and charges are agreed in the contract.

Can we discuss a prototype or sample for a custom version?

Yes. Prototype testing and sample fabrication are available for custom projects. Discuss which functions or features you need to review for your version. The scope, cost and schedule are agreed for the project.

How prototype testing & samples work

Why are these curves called conic sections?

A plane intersecting a cone can form a circle, ellipse, parabola or hyperbola, depending on the orientation and intersection.

What still needs confirmation for this reference configuration?

Only a short physical overview clip is available. Visitor adjustment, movement sequence and a longer demonstration remain to be supplied.

What do the images and videos show?

The gallery labels photographs, video frames, renderings and the dimension drawing. Physical footage is identified separately.
