Collection of experiments using a Van de Graaff generator


"This is a collection of experiments using a Van de Graaff generator.

The generator uses a belt and two rollers to build up a charge in the dome on top. The electrons will jump from the dome to reach a grounded object. Since like charges repel one another, objects placed on top of the dome will become charged and then be repelled.

This is the same machine sometimes used to make someone's hair stand up in classrooms or in science centers."

Magnet levitates in a plate of pyrolytcs graphite


Pyrolytcs graphite is a diamagnetic material, which means that a magnetic field will be repelled by this material. Thus the magnet floats

Slow-motion Rubber Band Trick: that is Amazing!


A simple science trick you can do at home, using two rubber bands and a CRT TV screen. The TV screen works as a stroboscopic light, and when the frequency of rubber band is near the TV vertical frequency the rubber band seems to moving in slow motion.

Sodium Acetate Slow Crystalization


"A single seed crystal was added to the saturated sodium Acetate solution while at 30C. Omnidirectional needle-like crystals radiated outward from the seed on contact at the solution's surface."

Thermal rubber band machine


"This is a demonstration called the rubber band heat engine. As the name suggests, you take rubber bands, apply heat to them and they do work for you... just not terribly much of it. But its interesting nonetheless."
