Does YOUR hamster have The Right Stuff?
When I read that Neil Fraser's Meccano lava-lamp centrifuge only rotated at 42 revolutions per minute, I didn't think it sounded very impressive.
I take that back.

That is one of the most awesome 1m 49s worth of YouTube I have ever watched.
Fragile glass canister filled with hot oil and wax doing 42rpm @ what appears to be about 1m radius, sure, I might do that but not in my living room!

Is it impressive?
"If not perfectly adjusted and lubricated, it will shred the teeth off solid brass gears in under a second. Runs were conducted from the relative safety of the next room while peeking through a crack in the door."
Yes, I think so.

If I ever compile a list of awesome things on the internet, that definitely makes it.

About 1.5m radius, 42rpm = 24 km/h tip speed. Not actually as quick as it looks, but I sure wouldn't want to get hit by it!

Instant IgNobel prize winner!
Also, I must know what song that is, or curiosity might kill me.

Not sure this shows much about Jupiter, though. I perceive what appears to be significant Coriolis circulation. That's to be expected, given the small moment arm, which does not represent the situation on Jupiter very well.
On the other hand, one has to admire the dedication to science, however half assed. Way to trash the living room!

In order to avoid Scams, one should be very careful in all their transactions. Every requirements should be put into consideration, should be cleared and verified. Most especially if you are trying to get short term loans, you should first study all the terms used in the said transaction before venturing on it.

Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do a little research about medical terminology, implantation cramping and happy birthday cards. We got to grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more from this post. I'm very glad to see such fantastic information being shared freely out there.

Summer is fast approaching and I can feel the heat! Prepare your swim suits and trunks for the beach guys! If ever you are looking for a fun-filled cottages, here is Sauble Beach cottage rentals. And if you are into sight-seeing try going and checking out Quebec City attractions and while at Quebec I recommend you stay at hotels in Quebec city to experience their employees warm welcome and great services!
