Welcome to the IKAT Christmas page

Once again this year we would like to give you a little treat with an online experiment that is physically set up in our lab.

Since science doesnot sleep on Christmas either, we want to find out with you how many Christmas trees you can cut down by Christmas Eve.

But be careful: Not every felled tree is a fallen tree.

Press the action button to increase the deflection of the axe. The more participants press the button, the more the axe will deflect in a given time. When the time is up, the axe will hit the tree, no matter how much it has been deflected.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2025.

The IKAT team

Merry
