Paul Schatz used his cuboid solids to develop the movements of the Invertible
Cube. One of them is the Oloid, which became the object of Swiss Patent no 500,000 as a «device to generate a tumbling motion».
If the Oloid rolls down a slightly inclined surface, you will be able to perceive the typical, rhythmically pulsing movement in a novel way.
The Oloid offers a wide range of practical applications e.g. for water treatment
and clarification, as a means of propulsion in navigation or as stirrer
or agitator in biotechnology.
