Summary: This is a training aid that can be used during the discussion of engine knock in internal combustion engines, and to show the severe damage it can cause to engine components.

Summary: This is a demonstration designed to generate a conceptual discussion about the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. It utilizes a pendulum to introduce the concept of irreversibilities due to friction.

Summary: This is a fun demonstration that shows the impact of pressure on the boiling point of water. Students are told the device is a "pressure cooker" and that the vacuum pump is a "heat pump." Students are convinced that heat was added to the water to boil it, but eventually learn that it was actually a reduction in pressure that caused the phase change.

Summary: This is a demonstration of the concept of conservation of mass. By pouring an incompressible fluid (molasses), it is clearly demonstrated that as the velocity of the flow increases, the cross-sectional area of the flow must decrease.

Summary: This is a demonstration of the basic principles of energy and energy transfer. It reinforces the concept that internal energy is one of the three forms of energy and that energy can be transferred through work.
