Bakken

The other day, the whole gang went to the Bakken Museum, which is a little science museum inside a big, old house, focusing on electricity and magnetism.

Here you can see an example of electricity, created by static!


And here's Grey using magnetism to move toy cars.


Using magnets to destroy an old tube television! That was my favorite.


Have you seen this experiment? Using your brain conductivity to push/pull a ball? You compete against someone else and whoever is calmer wins. I assume because the fewer thoughts you have, the less destructive interference.


I've seen it in a few museums and never once "won." Everyone else is calmer than me.


To finish, we played glasses! At first it seemed like we were incapable but apparently it takes our fingers a couple minutes to get the right moisture consistency.

Thanks, physics, for a fun evening.
