Electrotechnical Museum
On Friday, May 25th, 2018 I visited the Electrotechnical Museum. It was essentially the electrical engineering of Hungary museum. At the museum there were several artifacts from the Ganz Foundry Museum which we visited Saturday the 26th. We also learned about several great Hungarians such as Liptay Imre, Krizs Ferenc, Galusz Mikos, and Szalay Gyula. There was also a bunch of stuff we could play around with. One item measured how good of a battery I was. I was great compared to our group. Another showed myself and others how a magnetic field worked. Another item when hand cranked used positive and negative charges to move a ball back and forth.

It was great that they had the interactive part of the museum open. The demonstration of the magnetic field was my favorite, I had never seen something like that.
Interactive exhibits is always a great feature of science museums and an effective way of demonstrating scientific properties and effects. I wish I would have gotten the chance to go.
My favorite part of the interactive exhibit was definitely using myself as a battery. My measure as a battery was done by touching a plate to complete a circuit. I think that interactive exhibits are not only a great way to demonstrate scientific properties and attract attention, but to jump start your thinking and help generate questions of each function displayed.
I would have been interested to see how they demonstrated the magnetic field. Back at loras, I’m a supplement instructor for physics and it would have been nice to have learned another example to show the students when I review the magnetism unit.
