What other simulated elevator rides are out there that demonstrate scientific principles? Bonus points for one in Vancouver, as I am visiting there in a few weeks. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.101094 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 09:48:50 -0800 buttercup elevator science education By: you're a kitty! http://ask.metafilter.com/101094/a-ride-to-to-the-moon#1468706 I know this isn't remotely as cool, but the physics department at UC Davis has a big chair on springs in the elevator, so if you time it just right you can hit the floor button and run over to the chair in time to notice the acceleration more clearly at the start and end of the ride. It's... kind of neat? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.101094-1468706 Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:26:28 -0800 you're a kitty!
