The pumping-thing engine


The pumping thing engine 1.2 is coming up, including a greater variety of symmetries and tracking of past publications, in order to avoid doubles.

The pumping thing engine 1.1 is up and running on tumblr. Pumping platonic solids automatically created and posted by a computer, a couple of times a day as an ongoing tribute to the architecture of Anne Tyng.

When two regular polyhedra with the same center point are rotated relative to each other, an infinite number of different compounds can be generated. And all these compounds can pump.
Based on this principle, I'm developing a pumping-thing generator in Wolfram Mathematica.
