Science Sheer
Here Friday
“liquid sunshine" powers a
portable radio. A small platform
slides across the floor on a thin
layer of air. And a "misbehav
ing" suitcase illustrate* princi
ples used in modern guidance
systems.
Kings Mountain high school
students will see these and other
interesting demonstrations when
the famed General Motors sci
ence show. Previews of Progress,
apjiears at the school on Friday,
January 22. 1965 at 10:00 a.m.
“We seek through Previews to
inspire more young people to
make science and engineering
their ram;r and provide the
trained talent America must have
to keep pace with the promise of
the future." John F. Gordon,
president of General Motors, de
clares.
Ruck OLsh we and Bill Myers
of General Motors Public Rela
tions Staff will narrate the 45
minute, noncommercial presen
tation. They are one of seven
teams that take the show to more
than a million students each
year.
One of the highlights of the
show is a fuel cell, a device that
converts chemical energy into
electrical power Potentially ape
of the most significant scientific
developments of the century, the
fuel cell manufactures electrici
ty with much greater efficiency
than is now obtained from con
ventional power plants.
In the show, a few dropa of
"liiquid sunshine" added la the
cells provide enough energy to
operate a portable radio.
Anothe r example of solor ener
gy. the amazing Si?"mobile, will
be demonstrated. The 15 • inch
model <*ar depends on eight pho
toelectric cells for its operation.
The button-like cells on the hood
of the car convert light rays into
Electricity which drives a small
electrical motor inside the car. A
300-watt lamp is used to simu
late the sun's rays In the show,
i As the light strikes the cells, the
, Sunmobiie moves smoothly a

In addition to sun power, the
; Previews audience will see an

influences as being terofwmttlftv
moisture, light and nutrients- We
could a bn add weeds, nematodes,
insects and diseases.
In nature we cannot control
th« environmental influences of

i can modify the light by shading

I heater* and "wind machines."
