Radar Detector Reviews

I've been looking into buying a radar detector for my car recently. I settled on an Escort Passport 9500ix in the end. Hopefully no more speeding tickets for me! Anyway, I found the reviews on whatradardetector.com to be really useful.

Some good physics there too!

Physics for Entertainment

“Published in 1913, a best-seller in the 1930s and long out of print, Physics for Entertainment was translated from Russian into many languages and influenced science students around the world. Among them was Grigori Yakovlevich Perelman, the Russian mathematician (unrelated to the author), who solved the Poincaré conjecture, and who was awarded and rejected the Fields Medal. Grigori’s father, an electrical engineer, gave him Physics for Entertainment to encourage his son’s interest in mathematics. In the foreword, the book’s author describes the contents as “conundrums, brain-teasers, entertaining anecdotes, and unexpected comparisons,” adding, “I have quoted extensively from Jules Verne, H. G. Wells, Mark Twain and other writers, because, besides providing entertainment, the fantastic experiments these writers describe may well serve as instructive illustrations at physics classes.” The book’s topics included how to jump from a moving car, and why, “according to the law of buoyancy, we would never drown in the Dead Sea.” Ideas from this book are still used by science teachers today. Yakov Isidorovich Perelman died in the siege of Leningrad in 1942.”
Physics for Entertainment is fantastic – it’s packed full of interesting examples grouped together into topic chapters. Click here to visit teachphysics.org to download a free pdf version of the whole book
