Some Articles bring back a lot of Nostalgia. My dad is a Chemistry Teacher at my home town's High School. The Gray Matter article the March 2009 issue of Popular Science was one that brought back a lot of fond memories for me. In stead of using Hydrogen and Oxygen bottles for the experiment of Explosive Bubbles mentioned in the article, dad used the gas lines meant for the Bunsen Burners that went to his fumigation hood. All he needed was bubble solution, a rubber hose meant for a Bunsen Burner, a clamp, and a lit candle taped to a broomstick. He turned the gas on while clamping the rubber hose. Then he dipped the open end of the rubber hose into the bubble solution and lit the resulting bubble while it floated in the air (which looked like a standard blown bubble by the way). This in turn created a small fireball that almost reached the sealing of his classroom (I can still see slightly charred marks just next to where the fumigation hood meets the ceiling). My father always showed me this one when ever he could. I have seen the experiment since Kindergarten and it has always been my favorite. Thank you Popular Science for reminding me of such a fond memory by publishing that Gray Matter article for March 2009.

I can see this thing not only as a tool for entertainment, but also as a significant tool to help the disabled. Entertainment is not the only focus for this product. This would help people who cannot talk to talk, but at the same time those who cannot talk could also kick butt in some crazy video games.
