About Aladdin's Lab

Hello & Welcome to Aladdin's Lab! What is Aladdin's Lab? Well, I run an online shop called Curious Minds, and I have a collection of vintage Physics instruments - a Physics Museum - and visitors have sometimes compared my collection of fascinating items to Aladdin's Cave. Hence the name.

The purpose of the website is to demonstrate some experiments and scientific instruments and hopefully to show you how fascinating science can be!

Here are some of the forthcoming videos:

  • High voltage - Tesla coil, Jacob's Ladder, Wimshurst machines, induction coils, etc...
  • How to make a very very simple electric motor (homopolar).
  • Magnetism - ferrofluid, neodymium magnets, chaotic pendulum, ...
  • Science toys, e.g. levitation wand (fun fly stick), Zero Launcher, Newton's Cradle, etc.
  • Laser demo: speed up solar radiometer, illuminate piggy in the Mirage, diffraction ggrating, crystal like kryptonie, etc...
  • & much more!
