QuarkNet 2010: Day 2

Labels: ,
Today at QuarkNet we built a reservoir for the alcohol. One of the teachers who has been involved with QuarkNet for a while had the PVC already cut for us, we just needed to assemble it. The reservoir has magnets on each end, which will be attracted to magnets on the outside of the tank. The magnets are offset a little, so that as the tank is turned upside down the top of the reservoir always points up. This is going to make it incredibly easy to load alcohol into the chamber.

Here's the reservoir:


There's felt inside which will increase the surface area of the alcohol to aid in its evaporation.

After lunch we assembled the light strip that we'll use to illuminate the fog, making the tracks easier to see.  Another QuarkNet veteran prepared the wood and provided us with excellent instructions.  We had to do a little wiring and soldering, but it was pretty easy. 

Here's the light strip:



and illuminated:


Added to the setup from yesterday we have:



Tomorrow we'll build sensors to measure the magnetic field on the surface of the plate.  I guess we'll also add the magnets.  Maybe we'll even be able to make some clouds.

Let me show you how ATHEISTS were partially responsible for 911

These ATHEISTS NEED TO BE ON THE TERRORIST WATCH LIST!

You don’t even have SCIENCE on your side…

You’re a perfect example of when PHILOSOPHY becomes an ENEMY OF LIFE...

blasphemy is a DEATH SENTENCE

Atheists,
you are ENEMIES OF GOD AND ARE GOING TO BE ANNIHILATED...

Repent and turn to God or be destroyed...

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE...

my interpretation of the STATUE FIRE... it symbolizes the SPIRITUAL DEATH of atheism...

The B**BQUAKE - 911

Let me show you the FATE OF TRAITORS...

http://www.loiterink.com/photos/products/182_3424_500x500.jpg

they are incapable of telling the difference between SCIENTIFIC *FACT* AND
RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL *TRUTH*... FATAL ERROR!

they also preach a *VALUE FREE SCIENCE* called *POSITIVISM* that ignores the
inequalities of wealth and power in capitalist civilization...

for a sample taste of PZ Myers' GARBAGE...
