The high voltage laboratory

Today we got to do the hands-on experiment in the high voltage lab. The lab is really big and full of machines. When you step inside ,you may just feel that you are in a scientific fiction movie. We were also being reminded by Mr Denis and other professors again and again that we should not touch anything inside the lab.
What we did today is simple lifter. Basically it is a triangle made of fine wood,aluminium foil,thin wire and of course super glue which can float in the air when applied with high voltage current.
Our group finishe quite early,so ours was the first one to be tested. At first it did not work very well as it would always topple over. However, after some adjustment, it actually could fly quite high. Though it was still not balanced in the air, we felt quite satisfied about its performance. And then we started to work on the big two-layer one. The other group was also working on the one. Hope we can manage to finish it together tomorrow.
But one thing makes me really upset. The report!! Just think about it, you have to write one report for every experiment!!! Ok, maybe i should think positively, it is a good exercise. Just like what Mr Chong said, it is preparing you for the uni.
Just some video of the testing.

Our first try.

We are almost there.
