The Kugel Stone weighs one tonne and revolves on a thin film of water which is pumped into the granite socket it sits in. The water is pumped at different speeds which makes the stone spin on its own.

The stone is precisely 90cm in diameter and the pressure from the two pumps measures 1.2 bar.

Everyone is welcome to touch the stone and by giving it a gentle nudge you can make it spin in different directions.
