Tabletop Teacher

For some Astartes, jump packs are not enough. For some Astartes, true flight for mankind is the goal. For this Space Marine... only piercing the heavens will do...  Primaris Inceptors think their jet packs are cool...  This Astartes sneers at Swooping Hawk wings! This is where Warhammer 40K and teaching Science intersect. And... It. Is. Glorious. MWAAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!! Launch tomorrow. Thanks for reading. If you liked what you saw, and you want to help out, please leave a comment.

After a hard day killing Xenos, it's good to just kick back for a bit. This is an artificial beach we make to explain how different substances warm up at different rates when given the same energy (Specific Heat Capacity if you're a nerd or in High School Science!). I decided to pop in a Space Marine, to make it seem more... realistic. What? He's a White Scar. He's so pale! Needs some sun. Picture below shows the artificial sun we have. Sexy telescope reveal in background. Until next time! Thanks for reading. If you liked what you saw, and you want to help out, please leave a comment.

This... failed. But it does look good! So the reason this doesn't work is simple Physics. This is a Van de Graaf generator. All it does it put electrons on the top dome, which can't escape leading to a build up of negative charge. What we do is put a pie plate on top of the generator dome, and stick the jump pack marine (Ravenguard of course) to the pie plate. The plate becomes coated with electrons as well, and thus is negatively charged. Like charges repel, and so the plate, and Marine fly away! Except the shape of the negative charge field is the shape of the dome... so the Marine just kind of slides off to the side. This can be fixed with MOAR POWER! But that's not really likely to happen with school equipment. This Space Marine is determined to fly though, and we will find new and exciting ways of launching this mini into the sky! Until next time. Thanks for reading. If you liked what you saw, and you want to help out, please leave a comment. Shari...

It's half-term... we've just done electrical fields... and I have the Van de Graaf generator all to myself. MWAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! Tomorrow I hope to have a video of my first truly flying Space Marine (since I'll have someone else to help for the inevitable problems). Looking forward to tomorrow Thanks for reading.
