Simon Field's Science Toys
On my visit to Simon Field's farm, Simon showed my friends and me a great many awesome tricks and toys. Of course, Simon does run Scitoys.com so this isn't surprising! First we saw his workshop where he spends his time doing research, inventing things and writing books about them.
He showed us a trick of floating aluminum pans off of a Tesla coil which I sadly did not get any pictures of. Next he got out a small vaccuum chamber and set some marshmallows in it. Yes they expand awesomely as the pressure declines, but what happens after that surprised me. Take a look:
