alternative energies


Crazy wires

So one of my non-naturalist jobs involves me teaching school groups in the community about alternative energy as well as getting them interested in the sciences. This picture is the result of a program with some extra time at the end and a little experimentation. They were trying to recreate something that happened at a previous session with a different group. The wires are attached to a small motor that spins a wheel. One group got it so it spun one way when the wires were down and another when you lifted them up. They were not successful...maybe the next group will be.
