Gonzo Gizmos : Projects & Devices to Channel Your Inner Geek Paperback / softback
by Simon Quellen Field
Paperback / softback
Description
Step-by-step instructions to building more than 30 fascinating devices are included in this book for workbench warriors and grown-up geeks.
Detailed illustrations and diagrams explain how to construct a simple radio with a soldering iron, a few basic circuits, and three shiny pennies.
Instructions are included for a rotary steam engine that requires a candle, a soda can, a length of copper tubing, and just 15 minutes.
To use optics to roast a hot dog, no electricity or stove is required, just a flexible plastic mirror, a wooden box, a little algebra, and a sunny day.
Also included are experiments most science teachers probably never demonstrated, such as magnets that levitate in midair, metals that melt in hot water, a Van de Graaff generator made from a pair of empty soda cans, and lasers that transmit radio signals.
Every experiment is followed by an explanation of the applicable physics or chemistry.
