X-Prize: One Year Later Illinois Space Society On October 4, 2004, the world watched in awe as a small Mojave aerospace company sent the first private spaceship to space in an effort to start an industry of space tourism. Learn about the progress that has been made in commercial space flight such as the X-Prize cup and the Spaceship Company and see a mockup of the first vehicles that will care you to space. Location: Hallway This exhibit is suitable for: All conductor can be pushed along a rail. Room Number: 144 This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult BEYOND IMAGINATION 13 Rube Goldberg Machine Physics Society A series of reactions that result in hit ting a golf ball for a hole in one. Room Number: 158 This exhibit is suitable for: All Vacuum Cannon Bubble Room Physics Society Here children of all ages can play with explore bubbles. This includes trying make one large enough to be inside of one. Room Number: 132 This exhibit is suitable for: All Physics Society How heavy is air? This is answered by using the pressure difference between the atmosphere and vacuum to accelerate the ping pong ball. Will be demonstrated during the Physics Van Lecture Demos Show. Room Number: 158 This exhibit is suitable for: All Show times: Friday at 10:30, 12, 1:30, and 3 and Saturday at 10, 11:30, and 2. Loomis Laboratory 104 S. Goodwin, Urbana Map Code: L The Loomis Laboratory of Physics is home to the Cloud Chamber Physics Society A Chamber where one can view cosmic rays. These rays are always in the atmosphere, but this chamber reveals them. Location: South Lobby This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult Liquid Nitrogen Table E and M Demos Physics Society Come explore what electricity and magnetism can do for you, including a railgun! Room Number: 144 This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adul Physics Van Stop by the Liquid Nitrogen table to see what happens when things get really cold. Liquid Nitrogen is -320 degrees F, and you can watch things like balloons and flowers get placed into the nitrogen. We can also use it to make a banana into a hammer or to propel a cork out of a cannon! Location: South Lobby This exhibit is suitable for: All Physics Van Lecture Demos Laser Microphone Physics Society We will show how to eavesdrop on remote conversations using a laser. Room Number: 136 This exhibit is suitable for: hs,adult Railgun Physics Society Magnetic forces at work! By using the properties of magnetism, a small Physics Van Come sit and relax while enjoying demonstrations by the Physics Van Outreach Program. Demos will include laws of motion, states of matter, and a few explosions along the way! Room Number: 141 This exhibit is suitable for: All Show times: Friday at 10:30, 12, 1:30, and 3 and Saturday at 10, 11:30, and 2.
