Ideas

**http://osc-cancer-exhibition.wikispaces.com/**  Hey guys here is the link to the OSC cancer exhibit proposal. Stewart suggested that we take alot at The Exhibition Walkthrough, which basically gives an example of what to write and or even ideas on how to present it. Tate might benefit from this more since he is focusing on how the visitors would interact with the exhibit and how it fits in with the philosphy of WFIC... -Orlean


 * Put your ideas for what to do for our project here:

Magnetic Pool:**
 * 1) **Pool table with a glass cover and sides.**
 * 2) **Pool balls with permanent magnets inside which all have "N" facing outside the ball.**
 * 3) **"Pool stick" is actually an electromagnet itself, also with "N" at the tip.**
 * **Since the balls would also repel each other, we can not have as many pool balls, probably 5 + 1white ball max.**
 * **The tip of the pool stick would also have to be charged at all time at a very low current, so it wouldn't attract the pool balls, yet not so high that it would repel the balls if placed too close.**
 * **The current running through the wires wrapping the stick can be changed from the outside. Once the current is set, a button can be pressed to run electricity through the "stick" for just a moment, enough to push the pool balls. Its position can be changed, but not removable from table.**

Etch a sketch, moonsand, labrinth:

An etch a sketch type stylus drawing paths in the box filled with moon sand. the whole box tilts. On top of the moon sand there are balls (golf ball sized maybe?) which roll around in the paths when the box is tilted. Below is a picture of the stylus in an etch a sketch. Two bars move, (one moves up and down, the other moves across. The part that traces moves freely. A rake would be embedded just below the level of the bottom of the stylus to level out the sand. A comb with flexible teeth pointing upwards, which will be able to push the sand, but move around the stylus.
