Making an Electric Circuit

You enter a dark room and reach for a switch to turn on the lights. In fact, most off the time, you don’t even think about it; you just […]

Homemade Magnet

It’s not often that you can make something so complex out of such simple materials. Electricity and magnetism have been used by people everywhere to […]

Ice Tray Battery

You probably know that voltaic batteries come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, from tiny button batteries to car batteries to huge industrial heavy-weights. […]

LED Throwies

Graffiti Research Lab first introduced us to the awesome throwie idea, and we loved it. Ever since, we’ve been playing around with the idea of […]

Human Circuit - Conductors and Insulators

The Energy Stick makes quite the “buzz” when you’re using it. To the untrained eye, it appears to be a plastic tube with a jumble […]

Floating Static Bands

By doing this research, you could end up in the company of people like Ben Franklin, James Watt, Thomas Edison, and Nikola Tesla. Then there […]

Spinning Match - Table Trick

When you cautiously balance a matchstick on the rim of a coin that has also been precariously balanced onto another coin, it might sound like […]

Fruit-Power Battery

Voltaic batteries of all shapes and sizes are devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy. You probably use batteries to power your cell phone, iPod, […]

Build a Light Bulb - Circuits

When you are conducting experiments and demonstrations using electricity, you’ll use the science of circuits. Amazing things are possible with circuits including alarms, radios, and […]

Microwave Light Bulb

We heard that it’s possible to actually make a light bulb light-up without any electricity. We figured it out.
