Photo by The Tech Interactive in San Jose, California is hosting its 9th annual Tech Topple event, where 40,000 dominos will come crashing down in a kinetic chain reaction. The event is free to the public and will take place at 1 p.m. on Saturday.
The anticipation is building
The mastermind behind this feat is Alex Huang, a prominent member of the domino and machine build community known as Flash Domino. Huang, who was only 16 when he launched the first Tech Topple in 2016, has outdone himself this year with a Kinetic Carnival theme featuring chain-reaction machines inspired by midway games, bumper cars, and even a Ferris wheel.
The intricate design of the kinetic domino build
This year’s construction boasts twice as many dominos as last year’s miniature city, Topple Town, which took over five minutes to demolish. The team of nine builders, including professional chain-reaction artist Lyle Broughton and former domino world record holder Erez Klein, worked tirelessly to bring this amusement park to life.
