When I was a kid, my parents got me a chemistry set, signed me up for the science kit of the month, and encouraged an incredible of experimentation which stank, buzzed, glowed and occasionally broke stuff or blew fuses. I performed useful public services by keeping trash like antique speakers and yards of old extension cords and bits of old televisions from ever seeing the inside of the local landfill. I was part of the juvenile recycling corps before it was even fashionable. You would be amazed what you can make (sometimes more successfully than others) from old bicycles, car batteries, automobile starters, small amounts of gasoline, transformers (the old fashioned electrical kind), D cells, resistors, capacitors, photocells, liquid dish soap, wood, nails, and of course, duct tape and coat hangars.
