A bubble producing device that includes a housing with a motor, a pump and an air producing device, all of which are electrically connected. A shaft with two ends, one end of which is connected to said housing and the second end is connectable to a bubble producing solution reservoir. A duct connected on one end to the air producing device and on the other end to a nozzle. The nozzle includes an open inner portion and an outer portion, wherein the outer portion includes a trough which surrounds an outer circumference of the nozzle and includes an outlet and an inlet. The inner portion includes a wiper secured therein. A solution channel pumps solution from the reservoir to the outlet to create bubbles and a recirculation channel pumps excess solution from the inlet back to the reservoir.

An apparatus integrating a zoetrope including a panel made of a transparent material and strips made of an opaque material that attach to the panel at equal distance from one another. The strips include a series of graduated images at the inner side of the panel. The series of images differ slightly and progressively from one to the next. The transparent panel and the strips present a zoetrope in which the transparent panel acts as slits allowing a user to view the images on the strips at the inner side of the panel, and the strips act as a series of segments obscuring the view of the inner side of the panel. The user rotates the panel at an appropriate speed to view the images alternatively through the transparent panel and obscure the images by the strips in rapid succession creating the perception of an animation of the images.

A mechanized toy sword, automated and configured to extend, retract, produce sound effects, produce vibration effects and illuminate the blade during blade extension and remains illuminated until fully retracted to offer a more realistic representation of a sword made of light.

A 3-dimensional object may contain tunnels passing through the object so that when the object rotates, if the object is viewed from a certain angle, the tunnel is only visible for the moment that the tunnel is pointed directly at the viewer's eye. This system of tunnels can be used to create an animated system of dots when the shape rotates, and the dots can be positioned so that they create the animated illusion of dots moving along the surface of the shape in the opposite of the true direction of rotation.

A gesture-recognition (GR) device made to be held or worn by a user includes an electronic processor configured by program instructions in memory to recognize a gesture. The device or a cooperating system may match a gesture identifier to an action identifier for one or more target devices in a user's environment, enabling control of the target devices by user movement of the GR device in three-dimensional space.

An assembled luminous toy ball includes a ball body. A light-emitting device and a sounding device are provided in the ball body. An outside of the ball body is provided with a plurality of fixing rods. The fixing rods are hard rods. All or part of the fixing rods is sleeved with a removable assembled member. After adopting the above structure, the DIY luminous toy ball has more comprehensive functions. The user can assemble the luminous toy ball with his/her favorite graphics or letters. The luminous toy ball is more interesting.
