Domino Chain Reaction

A domino can knock over another domino about 1.5x larger than itself. A chain of dominos of increasing size makes a kind of mechanical chain reaction that starts with a tiny push and knocks down an impressively large domino. Original idea by Lorne Whitehead, American Journal of Physics, Vol. 51, page 182 (1983). See http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0401018 and http://arxiv.org/abs/1301.0615 for sophisticated discussions of the physics. As seen on QI in the "kinetic" episode. I was contacted by those Elves. http://youtu.be/9jzlUEpXK48?t=39m30s

I can tell by the look in your eye that you need some bigger dominoes. I look forward to your next videos.

I wonder who gives a thumb down here.

A good metaphor for life challanges and creating small wins just like dominos .

It's obviously a trick by Russian hackers designed to make the democrats lose!

Analogy: The butterfly effect, that is the concept that small causes can have large effects. Initially, it was used with weather prediction but later the term became a metaphor used in and out of science.

Thank you Stephen. I used your terrific insight in a recent article https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/284511

I like this very much, thank you for creating it. I have used it with several classes.

Hi Steve. Well done! A powerful simple and effective demonstration of the physics. I would like to use your domino video in my teaching toolset to teach the principle of linear amplification of the domino effect, but I do not always have an internet connection available to play it live from YouTube. Would it be possible to get a download of the short video demonstration?
