PHYS 1060-001: How Things Work

• Just to let you know I don't want the videos, I want the real thing. Richard

• AirPro Hockey pucks
•  video  - Tablecloth Pull
•  video  - Hanging Masses
• Razor Scooter

• Please add in the demo with cans filled with wood, lead, empty, etc. Inertia demo Thanks Richard

•  video  - Marble and Feather
• Propeller Cart on Track

•  video  - Shoot and Drop
•  video  - Range Gun

•  video  - Range Gun

• Push Me Pull Me Carts

•  video  - Kinds of Charge and Charging
  ( Hi, I'll bring my own little kit 2 teflon rods. 2 glass rods,1 wooden rod,one piece of silk,1 spinner/pedestal, )

• lindgren electrostatic kit

•  video  - Attraction and Repulsion Between Charged Objects
•  video  - Fun Fly Stick

•  video  - Van de Graaff Generator
  ( I prefer the smaller van de graaff generator with appropriate accessories.I guess I would like to show the effect of a lightning rod by using a conducting needle. Does the top metal dome come off easily to show how the the dome sits on a wire and can you see part of the belt )
•  video  - Fluorescent Bulb in Faraday Cage
  ( I don't need the whole cage. just the flourescent lamp I'll bring a small Faraday cage to wrap around the tube.)

• Two metallic spheres + and - circular paper charges if they exist VDG stick and small butterfly metallic foil i'll bring my usual kit I want try to show induction using the two spheres and my electroscope to show the presence of charge induced on the sphere. Maybe I use the VDG stick to do the charging

• Hi Al, I will use the same + and - charge props as on MOnday. I will also need a piece of wood to use as a big arrow See you soon

• I simply want to show a single lightbulb in series with a battery and resistor. The pencil is ok I want the LED flashlight too. I bought 4 lemons today to make a lemon battery and hope to use it to light a bulb that I have that operates at 1.5 volts. I tried 2 pennies and 2 Zinc coated nails to make it work on 2 lemons in series. Not much luck. I got 1 lemon to give me 0.22 volts but was unsteady Do you have enough copper and Zinc for 4 lemons. See you at 10:45 am to try to make it work Richard New news I got it to work now, but I only get 0.5 volts per lemon. I should get about 1 Volt. I strung 4 lemons together and I get about 1.8 volts enough to light up my LED but not enough for a flashlite bulb. I think my nail is not pure zinc. I think you may have some?? I am using copper pennies so that part is ok. I'll bring more food. See you at 10:45 Richard $$$$$$$$$ I got it to work I found some Zinc nails. I get 0.9V per lemon. Lights up LED but not my lightbulb. 3.7 volts for 4 lemons

• Resistivity of a Pencil

• MOnday Feb 13 red and blue magnet bars. some button magnets swivel stand any other magnetic stuff

• Electromagnet
• 1x 2x 4x Coils and Bar Magnet

• 100 watt bulb connected to an ac source that I can very the frequency. i know we have one somewhere Thanks Richard

• Worlds simplest motor

•  video  - Parallel Plate Capacitor
•  video  - Capacitor Discharge
•  video  - Eddy Current Tube

•  video  - Electromagnetic Radiation

• Flash Light Radio
  ( Al, If you have to cart this over from Physics, forge it. I can do without it. I'll be in around 10:45 am to 11:00 am Thank you Richard)

• Hi Al, I just want to show a few simple things about Polarization. Even polarized sunglasses would be useful. I prefer to use the polaroid paper if you have it instead of video. Thanks Richard

•  video  - Polarization of Light
• Brewster's angle
• Birefringence

• Additive Color Mixing
  ( Additive and subtractive demo of color mixing as you described it to me)

• Line (discontinuous) Spectra
  ( Hi Al, I am really interested in showing the spectrum of Neon since the book talks about it. Do we have it? If not anything with red will due. Do you have some diffraction gratings to pass out and we will return them. I don't have them any anymore. I would like to have them use the diffraction grating to compare the spectrum from the arc tube with white light from an ordinary lightbulb. The book talks about copper atoms emit a blue-green spectrum strontium emits deep red sodium emits bright yellow orange etc. )
