Small sample:

ZaP Flow Z-Pinch - a plasma physics
experiment that investigates using flows to
stabilize an otherwise unstable configuration.
Tour includes a brief explanation of the
machine, the diagnostics used to measure
it, and examples of plasmas in our everyday
lives.

The Lock Exchange Experiment - conduct
experiments in mini gravity wave tanks, using
salt to change density. Handheld THERMAL IR
camera investigates how temperature affects
density driven flows. Friday only.

Continuous Rotating Detonation Engine - a
new combustor for jet engines developed,
uses rotating denotation waves in an annular
combustor. This technology will increase fuel
efficiency of commercial gas turbines.

High Voltage! Historical Electrical
Apparatus - A selection of recreated high
voltage equipment from the electrical
engineering past will be demonstrated.

Scanning Electron Microscope - one of the
most important tools for a Materials Scientist.
Saturday only, demonstrated once per hour.
