12 EOH 2006 Tin Can Motor Power Lab Demonstrates the concept of a revolving magnetic field by using a coffee can as the rotor. Room Number: 50 This exhibit is suitable for: All Hydrosystem Lab One of Nature’s Magical Tricks EHHE/IWRA/IAHR Ever wonder how sand bars form? This experiment will showcase sediment sorting/bar formation of sand particles which occurs naturally in coastal environments. Location: 1st Floor This exhibit is suitable for: All Computerized Etch and Sketch Power Lab Uses servo motors and a computer to drive the two knobs on an Etch and Sketch toy. Room Number: 50 This exhibit is suitable for: All Hydrosystem Lab Hydrosystems Lab 301 N. Mathews, Urbana Linear Induction Motor Map Code: H The Hydrosystems Lab is a research facility in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Power Lab Demonstrates translational motion by induction rather than rotation. Room Number: 251 This exhibit is suitable for: All The Continuum Fingerboard individual The Continuum Fingerboard is a “fretless piano keyboard” that continuously tracks the position and pressure of each finger. It allows the performer to play in any tuning with expressive vibrato, glissandi, and crescendo. It was invented by Prof. Lippold Haken and played by Jordan Ruess (Dream Theatre), Terry Lawless (U2), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), and Hamilton Sterling (sound designer for War of the Worlds, Master and Commander). Listen to virtuoso Mark Smart and try it out yourself. Room Number: 251 This exhibit is suitable for: All IAHR This project will let users explore the Ven Te Chow Hydrosystems Laboratory and see many large and impressive facilities used in ongoing research. All working facilities will be on display and the audience will be informed of the research currently being conducted in each facility. Past work will be displayed on an array of posters showing the full capability of the largest hydraulics lab at the University of Illinois. The sheer size and capacity of many of these facilities will fascinate the audience and since most are custom built, creation and innovation are certainly included in the tour. Facilities: giant wave tanks, 50 and 20 meter tilting flumes, physical models, meandering river models, and more, this 11,000 sq. ft. hydraulics laboratory houses numerous state of the art facilities used in cutting edge research. Let us give you a tour. http://vtchl.uiuc.edu/ Location: Main Lab & 1518 This exhibit is suitable for: All Wash Those Hands!!! NOBCChE Testing the effectiveness of antibacterial hand soaps and explaining the chemistry behind how they work. Room Number: 151 This exhibit is suitable for: All Loomis Lab Bottle Rockets Physics Society A demonstration of Newton’s 3rd Law utilizing soda bottles launched with water and pressurized air.
