I'm sure that's probably more then you wanted to know.

lol dude, that rocks. Chemistry is awesome. It's not as cool as it's parent, but still awesome. That wasn't a cigar floating in there was it? I noticed that the speed of rotation would change, what caused that? Also, on the side of the page were a bunch of videos about Luminol; is that pretty much what you guys made?

We can control the speed of the spinning using the magnet in the hotplate (it makes stirring a lot easier!

I'm thinking that Luminol is pretty much similar to what we made.
