Archimedes Screw
Archimedes' screw (also known as a water screw), is a mechanism with a long history. The earliest water screw was first used by ancient...
Floating ball
The floating ball game is an excellent example of "Bernoulli's Principle". As air is forced around the ball it must move faster in order to "catch up" on the...

Benham Disc
I use something called a "Benham's Wheel" to support my argument that color does not exist out in the world anywhere other than within...
Pendulum Wave Machine
Twenty uncoupled simple pendulums of monotonically increasing lengths are moved together to produce traveling waves, standing waves, and....
Nipkov Disc
The rotating Nipkow disk is the key technology that makes the direct view microscopes possible. Although the disk is conceptually based on...
Foucault Pendulum Model
If a pendulum is suspended so that it may swing freely, it will maintain a constant plane of oscillation, relative to an inertial frame of reference. This is the result...
Gear Ratios
Machine elements are basic mechanical parts used as the building blocks of most machines. They include shafts, gears, bearings,...
Longitudinal Wave Machine
This apparatus is about 1 m long and it consists of a spiral spring ("slinky") suspended at every two loops by a thin nylon string....
Vortex Making Machine (Whirlpool)
In fluid dynamics, a vortex is a region in a fluid in which the flow revolves around an axis line, which may be straight or curved...

Gravitational Well
A gravity well is the result of the pull of gravity caused by a body in space such as a planet. Over the years, mythology has come to view...
Moment of Inertia
Moment of inertia, the opposition that the body exhibits to having its speed of rotation about an axis altered by the application of a torque...
Electron Movement Current Flow
The flow of electrons is termedelectron current. Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. Conventional currentor simply current...
Jumping Disc (Thomson's Coil)
An aluminum ring is launched off of an electromagnet. With the iron bar in the electromagnet, it goes even higher....
Earth Orbit And Day And Night
Earth is always moving. Each day, the Earth makes one complete rotation on its axis. The axis is the imaginary line through the earth that extends....
