Вот делают люди сообщество которое по стилю является милым литературным капустником. Стучишься в дверь - а там уже вход только по членским билетам с предъявлением трех публикаций в газете "нижне-тагильское животноводство".

Rails, Coils and other toys

My net wanderings started from world coilgun arcenal. Impressed I went into wiki and read about coilguns, railguns and even ram accelerators.

But the best thing I finally found was this highly sophisticated gauss rifle:


The site "Science Toys You Can Make With Your Kids" is quite good - many things from it can actually be created with kids. Some of them look dangerous, but only for those who doesn't know what kids usually do when you turn your back to them.

My favorite is Film Can Cannon It's a real pity that digital photography will soon make it obsolete :)
