Here is my very simple version of the Hertz experiment to show radio waves exist. The transmitter is a spark from a piezo lighter and the receiver is a neon bulb. The LEGO is just there for support (emotionally and physically)

If you spin a tank of water at a constant speed, it takes on a curved, parabolic shape--a demonstration often called Newton's bucket. Here, a team from UCLA shows how it's done. #diyscience #scicomm

Rowow made it: ion-exchange membranes—the gatekeeping tech behind industrial electrolysis—can be made from hardware store items.
Every step toward demystifying chemistry is a step toward distributed manufacturing and independence from centralized processes.
