Ships floating on sulphur hexafluoride are quite popular with the public at the Physikshow of the University of Bonn! The clue is that sulphur hexafluoride is much denser than air and therefore light things can float on it!

The famous trailer for the Low Temperatures part of the Physikshow 2004 at the University of Bonn!
The special effects were made with liquid nitrogen spilled on the ground, not in Antarctica but directly next to the air liquifier of the University of Bonn!

See all the people behind the Physikshow 2003/04! In fact, it has taken us some 2 weeks of preparation spread over half a year to prepare this great event!

Observe the effect arising from inhaling a much denser gas than air! Due to its density, the frequency with which human vocal cords reverberate (in fact their eigenfrequency) is changed! Do not forget the obligatory handstand afterwards, otherwise you are in DANGER OF SUFFOCATION!!!

The Tesla coil is a very easy way to create spooky blueish elm fires! It was invented by Nikolas Tesla some 100 years ago and its basic principle is based on disruptive resonant electric circuits.
