BS: Could you give me some other examples from shows or. Can you think of a particular show that you really like?
AS: Yeah, you know. I'd be here all day if I told you my favourites. Seriously - that sounds really
((talk over each other))
AS: I'll tell you some of the ones that make me laugh. So - one of them's the hamster wheel. Have you seen the hamster wheel?
BS: No.
AS: That is a real laugh. It's really big. It's probably about I don't know - 7 feet high. It's higher than a door anyway. Would that be right? 7 foot? Should probably talk in metres. And it's just enormous and it's probably about - I don't know, a metre wide. And basically it sits in the back of the science theatre for the energy show and we get 2 students down and they stand on the wheel and there's a little bar that they hold on to and they just run round in the little, you know the hamster wheel. And as they do that they generate energy which takes - a really cartoon like weight to the top to the ceiling and then as that happens you can see the amount of energy expended and required to take that up to the ceiling and sort of you know, sort of totting up on the computer which is you know on the screen above. And - so it gets to the top. They go and sit down and then we let the - weight down. And of course as it comes down it- there's flashing lights and it squeaks and there's probably a bit of heat generated and everything. So when it comes down it hasn't used as much energy up - apparently as it - did on the way up. But of course we don't lose energy so there must- something else must have happened to the energy so it's obviously been converted into heat and light and sound. So I just think it's - it's really funny, you know, this enormous hamster wheel which is - you know, a nightmare to store and take round and everything is brilliant. I think it's a great idea and it works really well. So that's the energy hamster wheel.
