About the Book

Physics is an inherently hands-on science, but with the prohibitive price (1500 dollars and more) of pre-packaged demonstration kits, people who aren't in traditional classrooms miss out on the immediacy of demonstrations. This book helps the modern DIY scientist use everyday objects to fascinating physics demonstrations, learn the basics of the science, and build some fun stuff. This book is intended primarily to meet the needs of DIY enthusiasts, but will prove invaluable to Advanced Placement (AP) and home-schooled high school students, as well as college students studying this field.

About the Author :
Over the past 25 years, Tom Sgouros has worked as a physical oceanographer, technical writer, environmental consultant, circus producer, robot builder, rope-walker, and editor for Make: Books. His physics education has been invaluable for sizing robot motors, figuring out whether the hydrodynamic models were really working, and keeping the trapeze from pulling down the circus tent. When not building steam engines out of soda cans, he tours widely with his robot friend Judy in a one-man-one-robot show, and he hangs out at AS220, the fabulous art space in Providence, RI.
