Experiments that can be done at home

Here, a number of experiments is given, which can be done at home. Many of the experiments are based on electronics, some of them in the high voltage area of electronics. Other experiments are based on some basic physical principle, and there also are some interesting simulations, where models are provided, which you can use yourself, allowing you to do experiments as well.

For some experiments, extensive information on safety is given, together with the description of the experiment. Please do not neglect that information.

Here follows a list of experiments, which can be performed at home very well, and which also are quite interesting.

	miniature lightning in a flash tube
	fluorescence
	demonstration of induction current
	construction of an induction demonstration tool
	launching of a magnet
	relaxation oscillators
	Jacob's ladder
	plasma globe with a normal light bulb
	snow in a test tube
	rayleigh scattering, sunset and blue sky
