Chapter 2: Electromagnetism
January 5th, 2006 Posted in General
This looks like a great experiment for the kids.
A simple homemade Van de Graaff generator
In the previous two projects, we stole high voltage from a television set to power our high voltage motors. In this project we will build a device that can generate 12,000 volts from an empty soda can and a rubber band.

Here's a press release with more info:
###
Larry Spring has made Flash animations demonstrating his discoveries in such areas as quantum physics and electromagnetism. The animations offer a glimpse into the workings of the sub-atomic realm through easy-to-follow visualizations.
Some of the topics covered by the website include audio, heat, friction, motors and the speed of light. Larry's research has also resulted in discoveries such as Magnespheres and the Spring Atom.
Larry's virtual classroom features information about his theories and discoveries, animated visualizations of his experiments, and guides on how to reproduce the experiments yourself.
