Physics, Fun and Beyond: Electrifying Projects and Inventions from Recycled and Low-Cost Materials

Preface

What This Book is About

Physics, Fun, and Beyond is an attempt to link science education with discovery and innovation. Its basic idea is to provide a framework for further development, starting with mostly simple and inexpensive do-it-yourself projects. The suggested experiments and prototypes are a guide into “worlds within worlds,” using recycled and low-cost materials, which you can find in drugstores, hardware stores, and other familiar locations.
