Summary: The Book that changed my life.
Review: I fell after reading this book, I have become a personal friend of Marc Rosner. Through his colorful language and profound metaphors, I was moved to a whole new plain of conciousness. Marc is a true mastermind of scientific literature. I am bringing this book with me for personal reading and will hopefully be able to speak about this peice of literatute at the Vacuum convention this weekend. (...)

Summary: Won third place with the wind tunnel project.
Review: I like the book though it's not spectacular. We built the wind tunnel and we had to do some tweaking....for example the airconditioner filter blocks out *all* the "wind" from an ordinary fan so we had to carefully pick apart the filter apart and just leave the wire skeleton, and then after going through all the motion of building the tunnel with the filter and the plexiglass window and getting it to actually work, we found that we got the same result by just setting the the air foil and the scale directly in front of the fan.
I just wish we could have found something that was more straightforward and to the point.
Better luck next year.
