That is funny, I did something similar at the school I taught at. It was the last day of school and I always cooked steak and chicken for everyone after all the students were gone home. Well on this day I had a very large grill by the back door of the school and it was getting hot. Most of the time the air was going out of the building, this time it shifted and sucked BBQ smoke into the school. I set off the alarms and school ended 20 minutes early that year. That was a hard one to live down. Mark On Mar 25, 2013, at 10:19 PM, Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
Yes, demos would be great. Maybe someone from U of U Physics could present something.
Would need to be careful with anything that produces smoke, though.
Years ago when I was still with Hansen Planetarium I did such a demonstration in the church history building and ended up setting off the building's fire alarm system which, among other things, shut down the elevators. Kind of funny now but at the time there were a bunch of very annoyed people.

Tom. I think you need to demonstrate that at a SLAS meeting. It would liven things up. Contact Roger Fry.
