Project Super Straw

It takes forever to know whether your water is actually going up your straw? Wanna look cool and different than everyone else even though you are doing the exact same thing? Or you just want to add some more fun to your mundane sipping experience? Look no further than the Super Straw!

You will know your water is half way through your straw for sure when the blue light is turned on because electric current passes through the liquid from one end of the wire to the other.

The beginning

It took me a while to think of ideas so I just tried out some everyday objects that conduct electricity, including tin foil, coins, copper tape, cactus and water.

Then I entertained the idea of using water as a conductor. However, in the beginning, the light was too dim. So I dissolved a lot of salt in the water and the water became more conductive.

Now enjoy a little demonstration of the magic of Super Straw with music!!
