The Classic Radiometer

Way back in 1873, some dude named Sir William Crookes noticed some weirdness in a scale he built. It appeared as though some samples weighed more or less depending on if sunlight was shining on the scale. Weird! He postulated that it was the pressure of the light being exerted on the scale that modified his results.

Of course, he was totally wrong, but it was a cool idea.

See, the bulb in which the blades spin is a partial vacuum. Partial being the tricky part - another clever scientist by the name of Lebedev noticed that the effect disappeared in a hard vacuum. So, air has something to do with it. Basically, the principal is the air that hangs out by the cool side of the blade flows slowly to the warm side of the blade. That process is called thermal transpiration. Science is cool.

Wooden War Engine Kits

In the days before gunpowder (at least in the west), folks had to find new and intriguing ways to throw death and destruction at each other. They started by throwing rocks, then progressed to hurling giant stones, and then to flinging boulders. The evolution of the machines used to accomplish this hurling is as intriguing as the things hurled. Many times trash and debris were lobbed over castle walls to rain down upon unsuspecting masses or invading armies.

Periodic Table Refrigerator Magnets

There are many memorization techniques in the world. . You can open the book and read, repeating important phrases over and over for hours. You can listen to the book-on-tape version while you sleep. You can also lie back and have somebody jam electrodes into the base of your skull and have your operator beam the pilot program for a B-212 helicopter directly into your brain. Two of these are fairly ineffective, and one is just a movie...

The most effective way to learn is through immersion. Surrounding yourself with that which you would like to learn embeds the information in several parts of the brain. The trillions of interconnected neurons fire in tandem, making recall easier and more natural. Or, at least, that's what it says in the textbook.

Curiously Strong Magnets

Sets Of Neodymium Rare Earth Magnets

Now you can own some without ripping apart that old hard drive you used in college.

DIY Music Box Kit

Music boxes came to prominence in the 19th Century, but their history dates back a few hundred more years. You see, there was this bell ringing dude who got tired of all the hard work. So, he decided to engineer a device to make his life a little more hip. It was a cylinder with metal studs. Each stud (as the cylinder rotated) operated cams which rang the bells. Further research determined that the first song played on this new system was the theme to Super Mario Brothers!

Giant Plush Microbes

Most folks never realize how cute microbes can be when expanded 1,000,000 times and then fashioned into cuddly plush. Until now, that is. Keep one on your desktop to remind yourself that there is an "invisible" universe out there filled with very small things that can do incredible damage to much bigger things. Then go and wash your hands. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Great Geysers Kit

In ages past when geeks wanted to impress their lords with entertaining displays of their scientific expertise, they usually blew something up. Now, however, there are certain regrettable restrictions on explosives. Man, the powers-that-be can really put a damper on a good time.

No matter - you can still set up a fantastic and impressive display of science without all the flash and the burning and the trips to the emergency room and visits from Homeland Security. Simply drop some tasty minty candies into a big bottle of diet cola and run! The result would be a great foaming geyser of brown liquid, sopping sticky clothes, a shower, and time with a mop. Decidedly unfun.

Little Einstein

Einstein was more than just a little smart, he was a genius. No one doubts that. Why, people still talk about a little thing he came up with called Relativity: The Special and General Theory. But Einstein wasn't always thinking of monumental things. Sometimes he had tiny thoughts and wrote insignificant theories (like his Theory of Belly Button Lint). This little Einstein figurine is a tribute to all of Einstein's lesser known ideas - to all the ideas that exist only to make one smile.

Mini Solar-Powered Car

Solar cars are, unfortunately, still in the research and development phase, although we saw one recently that drove from Texas to New York in 5 days. Despite being impressive, it'll likely be years before we have one sitting in the driveway, charging. Until then this working miniature model will have to keep us entertained.

RFID Experimentation Kit

Depending on who you ask, RFID technology is either the "Mark of the Beast", or a global panacea destined to rescue the grocery stores and Walmarts of the world from shoplifting. But any good geek knows that RFID is nothing more than tiny microchips powered by RF induction that store and broadcast a small bit of data. Want to learn more? Rather than rip apart your passport you can pick up this nifty RFID Experimentation Kit with over a dozen types of RFID tags, a USB based RFID reader and instructions for tons of insidious RFID projects. You even get a cool bio-implantable type of RFID Tag which you should never ever load into a blowgun and implant in any of your coworkers because it's not surgically sterilized.

Soda Can Robot Kit

Playing with your food is fun (the burger monster helping you drink your Bawls and such). But what happens when lunch is over and all that is left is some balled up wrappers and an empty soda can? That's when it's time to start playing with your trash! Luckily, the empty soda can is a perfect fit for the Soda Can Robot Kit you just put together. And the burger wrapper? Make a hat and get ready to play.

Stirling Engine Kit

The intriguing design of this engine, invented and patented in 1816 by Dr. Robert Stirling, is still relevant today. Initially sought as a safer alternative to steam engines (whose boilers could explode), this engine never saw wide spread use because it was generally very heavy and required high temperatures. The principle of the engine is simple: an external heat source and heat sink create a temperature difference in a cylinder and the air inside expands and contracts, moving a piston and a crank shaft in a rotary motion. The energy source can be any source of heat or cold, including solar or even an open flame. The Stirling engine can be more efficient and quieter in comparison to the more familiar internal combustion engine.

Pirate vs Ninja Batteries

There are two events in the history of the universe that have unleashed massive amounts of energy. The first was the Big Bang. And the second was the rift that split the peaceful Nynjate community into the fiercely battling Ninjas and Pirates we know today. The energy created by this rift has been drifting around the planet, fueling both sides of this greatest of struggles. What the winner will gain, we do not know. We only know that through years of research and development, we've finally found a way to harness and exploit this energy.

Kill-A-Watt

It's pretty well known that electrical power is at the core of a geek's existence. It breathes life into our entertainment, hobbies, our work and probably a lot of other stuff too. But getting a good grasp on how much power various devices consume can be somewhat difficult to reckon.

The Kill-A-Watt allows you to connect your appliances and assess how efficient they are. A large LCD display counts consumption by the Kilowatt-hour, just like utility companies. You can figure out your electrical expenses by the hour, day, week, month, even an entire year. Monitor the quality of your power by displaying Voltage, Line Frequency, and Power Factor.
