Found these very interesting experiments that anyone can do at home. The duct tape one works, and the homemade vortex cannon would be cool to do. LOL

The duct tape one didn't come thru for me. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
The vortex gizmo, on the other hand is somewhat cool. I used to have an `Air Cannon`. Hand held plastic toy about 14 inches across, round; open on the front, slightly tapered & a plastic diaphram on the back with a knob to pull it, putting tension on the bungie cords. When the knob was released the bungies would drive the plastic diaphram forward compressing the air into the taper & out the front. It would give somebody a pretty decent blast from a fair distance away. The cat hated the thing. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Koko,
The blue light emitted is very faint and it has to be totally black to see it. It lights up for a fraction of a second as you pull the tape apart, but it's there, and all I had was the cheap tape to try it with.
The one I would have to see to believe was the water and sound experiment. Is that possible? To make water actually pour UP?

CDude;
It was the UTube video on the duct tape that didn't come thru.
El Bee;
Now I'm sorry that I gave that thing away. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
