Tom Vales was one of the most interesting scientists that I’ve seen until now. He knew how to captivate our attention and even include us into his presentation. Unfortunately i arrived late for his presentation but when i did, one of my colleagues was holding a long stick made of wood one one side and metal on the other side. She used this to create electricity by getting the tip of the stick close to another thing that was made of plastic surrounded with some kind of wire. The thing was a bucket made of plastic surrounded by wire and on top it had a tip made by some kind of metal and when in contact with the stick it created electricity.

The other devices that were introduced into the presentation were the Tesla Coil and the Mendocino Motor. These were presented before i arrived to class so i don’t have too many details about them, but from what my colleagues were saying, they were very interesting and captivating.
