Hi, I was wondering if comeone here might be a ble to help me. I am slowly building my daughters various toys, some they're helping me build, others they just play with, but all are essentially science experiments and learning.
My eldest has recently become infatuated with rainbows and I recall a science experiment I did at school to re-create a rainbow with a light and dripping tap, however I cannot remember the specifics. All my searches on-line show how to project a rainbow on to a piece of paper or wall, however I'd love to show (on the table top) a rainbow in the air.
I know you can do this with a hose on a summer's day, and a know the 42° angle needs to be incorporated somehow, but if I could create the effect in miniaiture, available at any time, then perhaps I can make a water feature with 12v halogen lamp in it, so when it turns on, there's their very own rainbow created. :)
From my research already I'm thinking I may have over-stretched myself here, but can't stop the nagging feeling that it can be done, can anyone point me in the right direction, or at least tell me I'm crazy so I can move on to the next idea? ;)
Many thanks
