A little girl gets to lie on the bed of nails.
She likes it!
So does her brother!
Discussing the Fresnel lens with some early arrivals.
Examing the image of the Sun. The spot is over 900 degrees F.
Watching the penny melt.
The image is so hot that a stick just slowly waved through the image will burst into flame.
More fun burning sticks.
Pennies after three minutes in the image.
Getting close up. The image is so bright that the only way to see what's going on is through a welder's shield.
Looking at the world through the camera obscura. Note that the image is upside-down and backwards.
Adults love the bed of nails.
Heads are rounded so that don't sit on as many nails. The pressure is then higher. Ouch.
Little kids can lie on the bed of nails, but they need help getting on.
And off.
This guy decided to go facedown. Several others thought that was a good idea too.
A person lying on a bed of nails tends to slow down people walking or riding past.
Even runners with bare skin risked the bed of nails. No holes were made.
This guy tried to get the women walking past to join him on the bed of nails.
Don't worry he's not looking at the Sun through the camera obscura.
