Being young I thought I had discovered free energy, so I set about making this. I carefully setup an experiment in the school fume cupboard, and then experimented with different container radius until I was able to setup an oscillating standing wave. I then put styrofoam that had magnitized nails on the surface, held in place by copper coils wrapped around plastic hollowed out pens, and the vertical motion of the floating styrofoam magnetized nails induced a small current in the coils.
My chemistry teacher then spent a good few days explaining to me why the chemical reaction runs out eventually and how the laws of conservation of energy worked. It was an amazing learning experience and sparked a lifelong interest in chemistry.
