Science Museum Oklahoma Sept 24th

I had never been to Oklahoma so we decided to stop at the science museum in Oklahoma City to say we had stopped there. It was actually very cool with a lot of interactive exhibits. One let you ride a Segway. While I still think they are a little pricey for what they do, they are actually very fun to ride. It is almost like you are controlling them with just your thoughts because all you have to do is lean ever so slightly and you move in that direction.


Here is a video of a mirror maze. They were positioned in just a way so that a light beam can travel from the entrance to the exit making it such that you can see the way out at any point in the maze.

A view of the exit with me walking through it.

Another neat "smoke ring" machine.

Cool tornado generating machine. It had four columns that blew out air in such an angle that it forced the air in the center to spin while a fan on the ceiling pulled the air upwards.

A Van de Graaff generator you power with your hand. For every inch the spark jumps, about 70,000 V of potential is required!

On the road we did see a pretty sunset mixed with windmills.


We also stopped at a Fazoli's Italian Restaurant in Texas which is like a fast food Italian restaurant. Good food.
