内容説明
How do you make a clock out of an ice cube? Send messages using bubbles? Make money using a tube that waltzes? This collection of curious and offbeat science experiments provides the answers to these and 36 other questions. Accomplished physicist and science writer Neil A. Downie covers a range of phenomena， from the rocking and rolling that drives a waltzing tube; to the fluid mechanics of a coffee-cup rev counter and biceps made from balloons; to the simple chemistry of red-hot batteries and wet solar cells. For each experiment， he provides historical anecdotes about the relevant phenomena， a list of equipment， detailed instructions， and a full explanation - requiring only high-school mathematics - of the science behind the procedure. For those intrigued by any experiment， he includes follow-up suggestions， which describe ways to tinker with the initial ?recipe?. This collection of lively experiments， with complete explanations and simple mathematics， will appeal to high-school science teachers， inveterate tinkerers， amateur scientists， or anyone looking for a project for the next science fair.
