Extreme Warning: This article we think is written in English!

Well 'the shaking the science and goodness out of the box' has embarked from the departure lounge. What is this project about, well it is to get interesting items and to open up the box and explore them.

Why do it, to show you the effort (science and Engineering) in the box, why the box was not wanted any more, what to look for in the new box, how much stuff is in the box, some of this can be re-used, repaired (for use in other countries) or re-cycled. If the latter all items get sorted and weighed to show you the amount that can be recycled and the effort to do this.

What are we looking for, in general small interesting items (the box) that can be explored.

Portable hi-fi systems
Vintage stuff
Old clocks, including quartz movements
Hand held video cameras
Mechanical old cameras
Old security systems including detectors and camera

We are currently desperate for old electric train sets and Selectric's, to show mass in motion experiments.

Larger single items will be considered, as they can be 'digested' in a group setting.

All the waste is then sorted and put in special bins for re-cycling.

To put some science into the process we need also measurement equipment, timers, frequency counters, sensors and transducers. Even digital bathroom scales can be use.

So before you bin it, think of the educational value it has. We want to show the next generation whats in the box, what to look for when buying the box and the ecological implication of buying and using the box.

Powerful stuff, let the process begin. We are also looking for small tools, like screw drivers and the such, cutters and pillars. We have enough thumper hammers thanks, we hope to carefully disassemble the box, building up concentration, hand skills and possible careers in manufacture as well.

Is there no end to this project, no limits, you mission, if you wish to risk it, is make it happen, this message will implode in 10 minutes, stand back its going to make a mess.
