An Experiment Using Something Like Electrons

The volunteer is smiling, because he’s thinking about the twenty dollars he’s going to get – after the experiment is over.

In an earlier version of this creation, the two hoses connected to the back of the booth. One hose had a darker connection than the other. Phillip liked that, saying that it looked like one was for input and the other for output. Later, when I changed the hoses to the upper mechanism, I used the same color for both. Phillip said he missed the output/input effect. It wasn’t until I was working with the photos for this post, a few minutes ago, that I realized I had forgotten to change the hose colors. Sorry about that.

Stubby Jet

When I finished this jet plane, I thought it looked too stubby. I thought about tearing it down enough to add some length to it. Then, after looking at it for about a week, I thought the stubbiness looked endearing.

By far the toughest area to create was the landing gear. I went through many, many experiments until I finally came up with what it has now. I like the landing gear.

This whole thing started with the pilot’s seat, which is now just about completely hidden. The stubby jet shaped itself around the pilot’s seat.

I like this stubby jet.
