Its a bit hectic here, and there is snow falling (but not sticking….yet) so we are going to keep this short with a couple of nifty science videos:
First, a demo of the Photoelectric effect (props to Terry Price for pointing this one out):
and our own Homopolar Motor!
Enjoy!

We’ve shown other folks videos of the Fun Fly Stick in action, but we finally got around to making our own version. It shows a few more tricks the Fun Fly Stick can do, such as lift hair or make a soda can roll!

The Fun Fly Stick is a great science toy we picked up this year. It is essentially a small Van De Graaf generator (you may remember those from science class - the big ball machines that made kids hair stand up from static electricity). This little Fun Fly Stick generates a much smaller charge, but […]
The Lumin Disk and its belt buckle cousin are very closely related to the classic Plasma Globe. The big difference is that the plasma ’streams’ are on a flat disk as opposed to inside a glass globe. This produces a different effect than the Plasma Globe as can be seen in the following video:
Lumin Disks […]
A homopolar motor is an easy and fun science project that takes only a few items to create.
Most of the items you probably have around the house already! The homopolar is a great way to demonstrate electromotive force.
To make a homopolar motor you will need the following items:
A Neodymium Magnet disk
A single AA Battery or […]
