Break Your Own Geodes

Pop one of these roughly 1-1/4" dia stones into the toe of a sock, smash it with a hammer, and be the first person ever to see your real-as-Nature-makes-it geode!! Ninety percent of them have the familiar beautiful white crystals inside. Formed by volcanic action, they are found all over the world, but ours are from Mexico. There is no way to tell from the outside if they have crystal centers, but we will send you two just to raise your odds, and we haven't had a dud yet in our stores!! Much much more fun and satisfaction than buying one already cracked.

Half Past Banana

Resist the urge to just plug the electrodes into a nectarine and tell people what a sweet little clock you have. Read the few enclosed pages of background material and the explanation of the electrochemical reaction in an organic battery, and stagger your fans with your brilliance. Schylling's Fruit-Powered Clock kit also includes a 2-1/4" x 1-1/4" LCD clock/calendar, leads, a jumper wire, a stand, and complete instructions. You supply the fresh fruit. (It also works with a potato. Ain't science wonderful?) A great teaching device for 8-year-olds and up. No soldering required.

Radiometer

Another oldie but goodie. 5" high evacuated clear glass stand 3" in diameter at the top. A four bladed vane is balanced on a needle inside the sphere. Because opposite surfaces of the vanes are black and white, incident radiant energy is absorbed or reflected to a different degree. The result is a spinning vane. The brighter the light, the faster it spins. Simple, but compelling. Brief explanatory instruction sheet included.

Original Slinky(r)

Does anyone need to be told what a Slinky(tm) toy is?? Okay, it is a very slack spring, 2-7/8" dia x 2-1/2" long, compressed. It will stretch out to about 5 or 6 feet long without deforming. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that it "follows" itself. Slosh it from hand to hand. Put in on the top step of stairs, flip the end down a step, and watch it walk down stairs, or down an incline. Believe us, no childhood (or adulthood) is complete without an original stainless steel Slinky(tm). It was hard for us to find it, but we are glad we did. You should be too.

A Light In The Darkness

A Light In The Darkness

This little 120 VAC, 40 mA neon indicator lamp is 3/8" x 7/32" dia, with 1" wire leads. It has clear glass and a nice orange glow, but with its 150 ohm resistor it's a little dim to be used in bright light. We suggest you use it in darker surroundings, because you don't want to remove the resistor. Like we did....

Rotary Tool Set

Not every well-made rotary tool is a big-D. We consider this one not only a good-quality tool, but an excellent buy. The fitted plastic carrying case 12" x 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" contains not only the 120VAC-powered 8,000-30,000 rpm mini grinder, but a stand with a C-clamp to mount it on a bench or table, a 3-ft extension shaft, and a good assortment of bits, grinding stones, cut-off wheels, etc, including collets to fit 1/8" and 1/16" bits. The telescoping stand extends from 10" to almost 22" and holds the tool above your work, while you grind, sand, cut, etc., with the tip of the convenient, easy-to-grip, flexible extension. A nice package, and a very nice gift for yourself, or for anyone who enjoys working with hobby tools.
