    Abstract: A variety of toy polariscopes are simpler in design and less costly than precision instruments used in scientific research and stress analysis of materials and structures. The toy polariscopes are designed for a variety of objects that may exhibit photoelastic properties such as glass, plastic, Plexiglas, gel candle material and other gels, and even edible photoelastic objects. They are specially designed for objects of various sizes with a variety of purposes such as objects to enhance learning in a variety of conditions and experiences. Special objects are designed to go with the toy polariscopes such as edible and inedible photoelastic objects, photoelastic candle material, a variety of photoelastic/ photoplastic stands capable of a variety of displays in interaction with other designed photoelastic objects capable of a variety of interaction and displays. Other optical phenomena may also be observed.

    Abstract: A toy, art object, decoration, ornament, entertainment device, advertising device, paperweight, or other device is made of a soft deformable plastic material in shapes of prisms, lenses, wedges, cubes, pyramids, as well as other forms that display the changing stress patterns formed by deformations of the photoelastic material. Magnets embedded in the material apply forces that create new patterns. Polarizing films within, or covering the clear plastic enhance the viewing effects. External forces, such as manual manipulation, springs, strings, elastic bands, clamps and other devices are used to create interesting optical effects. The viewing effects increase the entertainment and aesthetic value of the devices.

    Abstract: A polariscope toy apparatus comprises a tubular structure 3210, an end cap 3215 on a first end of the tubular structure, a light source 3230 within the tubular structure near the end cap, a power source, an opening at a second of the tubular structure, a first polarising film 3240 between the light source and the opening, an openable compartment 3250 for holding one or more photoelastic objects between the first polarising film and the opening, and a second polarising film 3260 between the compartment and the opening. The photoelastic objects may be rotatable and deformable within the compartment. In an alternative embodiment, photoelastic objects are modular for connecting and disconnecting in various configurations. In another embodiment, some or all of a container for holding one or more light sources is made of photoelastic material with one or more polarising films on the inner or outer surfaces of the container. A method for creating photoelastic objects comprises pouring a photoelastic mixture into a non-stick mould, forming a desired end shape, curing the mixture and removing it from the mould.

    Abstract: A variety of toy polariscopes (1) are simpler in design and less costly than precision instruments used in scientific research and stres analysis of materials and structures. The toy polariscopes are designed for a variety of objects (40) that may exhibit photoelastic properties such as glass, plastic, Plexiglas, gel candle material and other gels, and even edible photoelastic objects. They are speciall designed for objects of various sizes with a variety of purposes such as objects to enhance learning in a variety of conditions and experiences. Special objects are designed to go with the toy polariscopes such as edible and inedible photoelastic objects, photoelast candle material, a variety of photoelastic/photoplastic stands capable of a variety of displays in interaction with other designed photoelastic objects capable of a variety of interaction and displays. Other optical phenomena may also be observed.
