Rainford Models are delighted to have been commissioned to produce a range of their large scale science interactives comprising of 11 interactives mounted on a 1.2m diameter circular table top with flexible black plastic edging and with removable hexagonal bases, 9 interactives mounted on a 1.2m diameter table top with flexible black plastic edging and without hexagonal bases, and 15 of their mini table top interactives all of which have been designed by Ian Russell of Interactive Science for The National Science Centre, Pusat Sains Negara, Kementerian Sains, Teknologi Dan Invoasi in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.

Mini Science Interactives in Flight Case

The mini interactives have been packed into our specially designed flight cases. These cases are lightweight and idea for storage of exhibits that are out on the road or being shipped to their final destination.

Loading the Malaysian Museum Interactives

The last of the wooden crates is loaded into the 40 foot temperature controlled container before its journey to Malaysia and The National Science Centre at Pusat Sains Negara.

In the fore ground is How to Weigh a Galaxy, to the left is Million Turns (large version) and to the rear is How to Make a Telescope.

An interative exhibit involving the constellations

Solar System Science Interactive

In operation, this exhibit stands in semi-darkness. An animated computer-model of the sun and planets are projected via a mirror onto the central screen. Eight push-buttons are labelled with the names of the planets.

A speaker provides feedback sound-effects.
When the mains electricity is cut off each evening, the solid state player and the video projector are automatically powered down correctly by an Uninterruptible Power Supply unit (UPS).

Constellation Quiz Museum Interactive

Four heavy duty push buttons are each labelled with a constellation name. When you press the correct button, the outline of that constellation-picture appears. Until then, it is completely invisible.

An interative exhibit that demonstrates Newtons Laws

Multiple Orbits Science Museum Interative

The flared "gravity hollows" in this interative challenge you to roll a plastic ball in such a way that it rolls around more than one gravity hollow in a single mission.

Learning can be fun

Learning about Atmospheric Circulation

Here we have a young group of Malaysian children playing with this very appealing exhibit.

The suspended particles in a "flow-tracing fluid" reveal every detail of the turbulent patterns when you grab the rim of the discs and spin them round. Three hemispheres in different sizes and colours, all mounted on one table-top. Extremely appealing and beautiful.

How to weigh a galaxy interative in use

See even adults are attracted to our exhibts!

Swing the ball round the pole, then pull it inwards using the cord. The ball's speed increases. The existence of Dark Matter in distant galaxies is suspected because they are rotating faster than the speed calculated from their calculated mass. Astrophysicists and seven-year-olds seem to find this exhibit equally stimulating...

Newton's Law Museum Interactive

A hexagonal, low-friction surface on which a gleaming, rainbow-coloured CD glides on a cushion of air blowing out from numerous small holes.

Foam rubber runs round the sides, hidden beneath the rim. Gliding discs can rebound up to thirty times from the sides. This exhibit captues and holds people's attention for a very long time. It is an excellent example of a truly exploratory exhibit .

Light Ray Table

This is another stunning light interactive. It is best situated in a low light area for the best effects to be seen.

Beams of light shine across a white Corian tabletop. Visitors can reflect and refract the light beams using prism’s, cylinders, lenses and mirrors. Colour filters can also be used with great effect.
