 Tom Fox's book Snowball launchers,Giant-Pumpkin Growers, and other COOL CONTRAPTIONS (or simply, COOL CONTRAPTIONS) is a book, published in 2006 by Sterling Publishing, describing 20 projects that young people 8 to 80 can build.

The author of Snowball launchers, Giant-Pumpkin Growers, and other COOL CONTRAPTIONS had to satisfy these main criteria for the projects before he added it to the book : The project had either had to be useful or fun to use, an educational aspect was important but not absolutely necessary, and the parts to make it had to be either scrap or inexpensive. While most parts for most projects are easy to find (many of them can be found around a typical home) there are some electronic related parts that may be relatively hard to find. This is especially true for the motors needed in Projects 19 and 20 and for, surprisingly, the magnet wire which is used in several projects. Because of this, Magicland Electronics is providing a source for the harder-to-find parts. |
