Experience a classic Crookes radiometer for yourself!  The metal inside the sealed glass will spin when exposed to strong light.  Leave it by a window on a sunny day...the stronger the light, the faster it spins!

Why does it turn you ask?  Well, in case anyone asks, a common myth (one originally held even by the scientist who invented it in 1873, Sir William Crookes) is that the momentum of the absorbed light on the black faces makes the radiometer operate.  But this can't be right because the white faces move forward (not away from) towards the light source.  Photons of light do exert radiation pressure on the faces, but other effects dwarf these forces. The final explanation it seems depends on having just the right degree of vacuum and is more related to the flow of heat than the direct effect of photons.

For the more adventurous, try out the Precision model.  They are handmade in Germany and are incredibly sensitive, spinning at up to 3,000 rpm in bright sunlight.  With a bit of patience, it will even respond to just the infrared radiation from the heat of your hand!

Recommended for Age 12 & Up (with adult supervision)

*  Especially if you can be nonchalant about it...

Comfy but wear quickly
Size: Large, Color: Organic Cotton 2 (5 Black)
These are perfect for every-day wear and i find them super comfortable. Mine are starting to tear and fall apart, which is more quickly than my other underwear, but I think its worth it for the price and comfortableness. I'll just replace them or repair them :)

Soft and True to Size
Size: Medium, Color: Organic Cotton( 5* Multi)
Comfortable and true to size these boyshorts are perfect. It's great to know it's safe material and organic and it holds up well in the wash. I would definitely buy again.

Comfy cute undies
One of the first things I switched out when I went on my non toxic journey, I really feel like they help my hormones balance and they’re so comfy

Falls apart after 5 wash cycles
Terrible. Do not buy. Only last 5 wash cycles before unraveling and falling apart. Also, uncomfortable as hell.

Disappointing, durability despite softness
Size: X-Large, Color: Organic Cotton 2 (5 Black)
I really wanted to love these underwear. The material is incredibly soft and has a nice, thick feel that seemed promising at first. Unfortunately, the quality doesn’t hold up. After about 12 washes, the seams started coming apart, and within two months, I had to throw away two of the five pairs because the fabric separated from the waistband. It’s frustrating because they were so comfortable initially, but the poor stitching makes them a bad investment. I wouldn’t recommend these unless the company improves their durability or you’re OK with losing One or two pair of the five
