  • Thin film interference on soap film. Bands of color are created by white light shining on a film of soap. Some of the light reflects off the surface of the film, while the rest of the light travels through the film and reflects off the back of the film.

  • Sand patterns formed from vibrating a quare sheet of thin metal. These formations, known as Chladni patterns, occur when fine particles, such as grains of sand or salt, form a unique pattern in response to pure tone vibrations such as musical notes. This sand was placed on a metal plate that was vibrated at different frequency.  When the plat is driven at a resonate frequency the sand grains will collect in the nodes.   Chladni Oscillations are a standing wave pattern visualized by vibrating a metal plate.  The nodes and anti-nodes of the oscillation are made visible my placing sand grains on the plate.   This technique for visualizing sound waves was discovered by Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756 – 1827) also know for his work with the speed of sound.

  • The inside of a magnetron removed from a microwave oven.  The magnetron is a device that creates microwave radiation. A magnetron consists of an electron tube surrounded by a magnet. As electrons are released from the heated cathode they are forced to take a spiral path to the anode by the magnetic field, creating microwaves. This magnetron creates a microwave radiation that is the same frequency as a water molecule vibrates.  When water is exposed to just the right frequency, the water molecules will gain kinetic energy and become hotter.

  • This is a demonstration used to show the principle of heat of compression.  This is the physical process that makes Diesel engines possible.   To work the demonstration, a small sample of cotton is placed in the chamber.  The plunger is then forced down and held in place with considerable force.  The air in the chamber is forced into a very small volume, thus heating the air above the flash temperature of the Cotton.  The same process take place in a Diesel engine, but the fuel is oil.  The Diesel engine is much more efficient that a gasoline engine. .

In this image the left point is charged to -30,000 volts while the right plate has a potential of + 30,000 volts.   This image is part of a series showing different charging conditions.

  • Libyan Desert Glass (sometimes referred to as Egypt or Egyptian Desert Glass) is a rare impact glass, similar to a tektite.  This specimen was found near the Libyan/Egyptian border. It is associated with an ancient meteorite impact, which occurred somewhere in the North African deserts. This specimen is translucent.  The collection of this  Desert Glass is now  prohibited by the Egyptian government.  Recent discoveries show that samples of desert glass were used in the Tutankhamun head dress.

  • This is a demonstration used to show the principle of heat of compression.  This is the physical process that makes Diesel engines possible.   To work the demonstration, a small sample of cotton is placed in the chamber.  The plunger is then forced down and held in place with considerable force.  The air in the chamber is forced into a very small volume, thus heating the air above the flash temperature of the Cotton.  The same process take place in a Diesel engine, but the fuel is oil.  The Diesel engine is much more efficient that a gasoline engine. .

  • The inside of a magnetron removed from a microwave oven.  The magnetron is a device that creates microwave radiation. A magnetron consists of an electron tube surrounded by a magnet. As electrons are released from the heated cathode they are forced to take a spiral path to the anode by the magnetic field, creating microwaves. This magnetron creates a microwave radiation that is the same frequency as a water molecule vibrates.  When water is exposed to just the right frequency, the water molecules will gain kinetic energy and become hotter.
