This page presents several short movies, most with sound track, which can be classified as edutainement. We hope that you will have fun watching them. Caution, most of them are big.

DANCING SALT

We have grown crystals of NaCl from droplets of corresponding water solution. Several small crystals stick to each other and form anisotropic body about 20 microns in size. Anisotropy of the levitated salt body permits its rotation by application of an AC electric field (10000 V/m) between steel substrate and/or the two permanent magnets. Video in .avi format shows this process in more details (size 42MB).

FLYING DROPLET

Levitated droplet is kicked by the current pulses through electrodes, which force it to moves between them. Video in .avi format shows this process in more details (size 53MB).

PERFORMING CELLS

This is collection of short clips with moving Red Blood Cells captured in magnetic traps. First video in .mpg format is the biggest (size 20MB). You can watch shorter version (size 4MB), or the shortest one without sound track.
