===== Projects I was actively involved in =====
  * [[project:casting:start|Metal casting]] – Having fun with molten lead.
  * [[project:food_hacking:start|Food hacking]] – Making mead. More ideas to come.

===== Projects I was interested in ====
  * [[project:presentationcenter:start|Presentation center]]
  * [[project:biolab:start|Biolab]] – I might learn something about those green or moving things.

===== Other stuff I sometimes did =====
  * Trying demo experiments I know from the internet.

===== Demos =====
These are small (well known) experiments often done in school that I either tried or want to try.

==== Tried ====
  * Sugar in sulphuric acid – sugar loses water, turns black (to carbon).
  * Potassium permanganate and glycerol – self ignites, starts burning.
  * Cotton wool and superglue – this is supposed to start burning. Nothing happened. Will retry.
  * Liquid nitrogen fun.
  * Whoosh rocket – plastic bottle with alcohol vapor used as rocket – tried with acetone with mixed results.

==== Planned ====
  * A lot of stuff from [[http://ilovechemistry.info/pokusy/]] (thermite, methanol vs. ethanol in boric acid, elephant's toothpaste, …)
  * Mentos and diet coke – old, I know.
  * Granular Maxwell's daemon
  * Homopolar motor
  * Non-newtonian fluid – it was done in brmlab before.
  * Supercooling liquids
  * Microwave plasma
  * Glowing pickle
  * Slime – polyvynilacetate (glue) or polyvynilalcohol (better, but might be more expensive and not worth) mixed with borax (and water). 
  * More…
