Say NO to domsayers and return the economy to the golden age of science and technology, as this is what we need for the future.

Thanks for the link. Of course they’ll be investigated for domestic terrorism/WOD.

The dream of every red blooded American kid was to discover some chemistry set concoction that would EXPLODE. That was certainly my quest and I threw all the stuff under the kitchen sink into the mix as well. Nothing worked, but burning sulfur poured over model airplanes was pretty neat.
To: AdmSmith
Growing up, my brother had a chemistry sent...till one of his experiments went awry causing damage to the kitchen ceiling. LOL
But the chemistry set gave him a good foundation in science, which was essential to his ultimate career as an engineer.

Saw a really nice old one on Pawn Stars last night! From the 30s I think? You could make gunpowder with it!

I had the BEST chemistry set ever. I don’t think it was a Gilbert...all the chemicals in mine were in test tubes with rubber stoppers and blue labels.
To: AdmSmith
Gilbert made the best stuff. The erector set was great

I saw the basic topic, was interested, and wanted to find out the price of the set.
I was moving fast, and skimming text, and clicking on things to find out the price.
I saw a statement that the set was high quality and that "being cheap" was not an important goal. Still, I didn't see the cost listed.
Finally, I got to a web page with a dollar amount -- $77,000!!!
After I picked myself off the ground I finally realized that this was a kickstart campaign, to get seed money, to start a business, so that eventually somesort of chemistry set could be put on the market at some unspecified time in the future.

My adolescent chemistry experiments started with saltpeter and sugar, then advanced to saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal.

To change topics a little bit, can anyone recommend a good current chemistry set for a homeschooled 15-year-old? I’d like it to accommodate the experiments likely to be found in a standard high-school chemistry textbook.

The losses of
- A.C. Gilbert Co.
and
- Heathkit
and
- Scientific American's "The Amateur Scientist" feature
-- inflicted dire damage on America's ability to identify and nurture young, inventive scientists and engineers-to-be.

Oh man, the wonderful hours I spent with that set and the ruined bedroom ceiling. I’ve heard Heathkit may be coming back.
