Watch The Video!

As seen in Family Fun Magazine! Since posting this video on YouTube, we've mailed out hundreds of batches of mylar tinsel. One 3rd grader in Texas won a 23 county science fair by testing the static charge using different widths of PVC pipe to float the orb. Go Max! If you can find Brite Star tinsel on your own, your'e all set. If not, we can help out. We've got  the exact same tinsel used in the video, and we'll include expanded written directions as well. You will get 1,000 strands of tinsel - that's means you can try this experiment yourself and still have enough to share with 150 of your closest friends! Once you get the orb working, post a video to let us know how it went.

Does the width of the PVC pipe affect how high the orb floats? PVC pipe comes in many different widths. You can test different width pipes to find out if they affect how high or how long the tinsel floats.
