BS: Yeah.

DS: They're going to use it because it's fun, but hopefully through using it - they're going to get the idea - that, you can take away ideas on several levels but if you get the idea that by turning, turning motion you can create electricity that's, you know, kind of one level that you can go away with. You can have extra levels by, when you put two cars on one track you can feel it's harder to turn so that - when the helpers - are really - what's the word - awake - I don't know. When they're really tuned in they can take the visitors' understanding on to a lot higher level by, by pointing out stuff to them like that. Like say a visitor who was particularly inquisitive could you know, mess around on that level as well. So yeah, that's going to be a big exhibit. What another exhibit which is going to be really nice but I'm not sure we're going to get it down for the for the beginning of the theme which is Solar Panel. And it's a fountain which is a pump which is pumping a a jet of water up, but powered entirely by the solar panel. But as you reach across to touch the water your shadow basically means that they don't get enough light to the panels and the jet goes away so it's a bit of a kind of - what's the word? Teasing, it's a kind of teasing exhibit. Because they go to get it and it disappears.

Um - trying to think, yeah, no that's - main major exhibits. You've got the show as well. um which is going to involve lots of exciting stuff.
