I just thought this was an interesting link. It has some additional, more technical information below the video for anyone interested.

Excellent. Entertaining and educational. Simple yet specific to the principle being demonstrated.

I liked the links at the bottom too. There are some interactive Java examples showing experimental setups.

Here's a list of quite a few at that site: http://www.magnet.fsu.edu/education/...ava/index.html
