Curiosity revealing or animating a shaped cavity
The present invention comprises two or more rotatable three-dimensional bodies and a linkage between the bodies. By means of the linkage, the rotation of a first body causes a second body to rotate. In at least one of the rotational positions of the two or more bodies, the shapes of the bodies are designed to create a shaped cavity between a first body and a second body. The shaped cavity may be a tunnel, or the shaped cavity may be a recess or niche. As the at least two bodies are rotated, the shaped cavity may appear or disappear or may change shape, position, or orientation as the bodies are rotated.
Vent balloon
A vent balloon, including an inflatable body operatively attached to a molded plastic base on a proximal side, wherein the inflatable body is inflated by a mechanism of an air vent or a fan operatively attached to the molded plastic base, and including a scent mechanism operatively attached to the molded plastic base for dispersing scent in a room that relates to a design on the inflatable body. A method of using a vent balloon by flowing air through an inflatable body of a vent balloon through a molded plastic base, wherein the air comes from a source of an air vent or a fan operatively attached to the molded plastic base, inflating the inflatable body, and flowing air over at least one scent mechanism operatively attached to the molded plastic base that relates to a design on the inflatable body and releasing scent into the air.

Kite flying method, assembly and device
A kite assembly and method of flying a kite from a wind source such as a fan, generally indoors, incorporating multiple tethers to provide generally stable, controlled and sustainable flight. The kite assembly provides for multiple tethers set to appropriate lengths and tethered to appropriate places on the kite and the wind source. Multiple tethers help balance the kite and prevent the kite from flying out of the lifting zone of the airflow created by the wind source, when the wind source is stationary, rotated, oscillating or being moved around a room. The tethers generally diverge from the kite and as a result the kite flying characteristics or direction of flight can be controlled in ways not possible with traditionally tethered kites, which typically have single or converging tethers. Multiple kites may be flown from one fan, or connected to one another to form unique flying combinations.
