Fountain Connection

Decidedly clever little gizmo, reminiscent of our ever popular Tornado Tube. It consists of a plastic sleeve into which one screws two empty 2-liter soda bottles. Inserted into this connecting tube are two clear plastic "straws", one extending toward the bottom of each bottle. Fill one bottle 3/4 full of water, colored if you like, invert the duo, and watch water spew from the top end of the top "straw". It's all because of the vacuum created as water drains from one bottle to the other, and is a good physics demonstration item. But it looks as though the water defies gravity. Amaze everyone at your next party! Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys a "Tornado Tube".

Tornado Tube

Simple, yet clever 1" dia. by 3" long plastic device to demonstrate the vortex effect of a tornado. Partially fill with water one of the two half-gallon size plastic soda bottles which you supply. Screw the bottles into opposite ends of the tube which we supply. Tip so the full bottle is on top and give it a circular starting whirl. Presto! You have a vortex. Call it a tornado if you're a meteorologist, a Charybdis if you're a classicist, or a whirlpool if you're into oceanography. Lots of fun and a fine opportunity to attempt to explain the effects of the earth's rotation on water draining out of a bathtub. The phenomena are related we're told, but good luck!!

Full Page Magnifying Sheet

Flat plastic Fresnel lens. This flexible magnifier is 7-1/4" x 10-1/4" and only about a millimeter thick. It is great when you need to scan a list or to look for something in a directory. You can see most of the page without moving the magnifier. Only about 1.5 power, but that can make a huge visual difference. The quality is not high, but neither is the price.

"Oooo, What's THAT?!?"

You'll want it. Everyone who sees it wants it. The 8" x approx 2" dia tool (it's slightly elliptical to fit comfortably in your hand) comes in a fitted plastic carrying case. It has a solid, quality feel and weighs in somewhere between a rotary and a full-sized power tool for true versatility. It comes with (4) interchangeable attachments about 4-1/2" long. There is a grinder that also cuts and polishes, a triangular-head sander, a jigsaw, and a chisel/gouging head, plus more than (40) tips, blades, pads, etc. for the attachments. It has a thumb-wheel to vary the speed from 8000 to 23000 rpm, an on/off switch, and a power cord over 6 ft long. Think beefy rotary tool for use on wood, metal, plastics or stone.
