[Phys-L] Re: Science "Magic" Demos



My favorite BIG physics demos:

forces -- spin cup of water overhead

energy -- bowling ball pendulum

momentum -- karate (use 1" pine #2 wood, either 6" x 12" or 12" x 12"
pieces)

pressure -- bed of nails

heat -- dry ice; liquid nitrogen; bottle rocket (ignite alcohol fumes in
5-gallon water bottle)

electricity -- van de graaff generator; tesla coil; microwave oven demos
(e.g., CD for 4 seconds)

sound -- flame tube; inhale helium


Simple (most of them), fun, educational, dramatic, memorable... Hope they
enjoy your show!!
