Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things: How to Turn a Penny into a Radio, Make a Flood Alarm with an Aspirin, Change Milk into Plastic, Extract Water and Electricity ... a TV with Your Ring, and Other Amazing Feats
Rated by buyers -
I thought it was going to have some extraordinary ways on how to make the gadgets using the household items, but the devices are not very practical or convenient. might be a good space filler in a science class, or ideas for scientific experiments, but nothing i see that could be used in actual situations

Just be aware - nothing in this book would amaze anyone over the age of 10.
My favorite "project" - lash a piece of glass to a stick to make a "survival tool".
If you're old enough to have your own credit card to purchase this, you're too old for this book.

This book describes how to make gadgets. If you already know about electricity and magnetism and basic physical science, buy this book and impress your young cousins/nephews/ nieces. there is survival stuff like collecting water from plants, safety stuff like making a fire extinguisher, and cool stuff like building a magnetic ring or wand to do things (hence the radio shack title).
Also a good purchase for budding mad scientist and science teacher.
