Where to Buy Physics Equipment for DIY Projects?

[Spoonerz]

Hi. I would like to purchase some physics equipments, such as magnets, mirrors, circuits, ammeters/voltmeter, etc., for my own physics project. I don't know where to look. Do you guys know of a website that sells any physics products? Or can only a licensed professional purchase them?

I used to use Edmunds Scientific. Also some nice magnet stores on the web.

I think I've heard of such a place... hm... could it be radioshack?

If they don't have it, it doesn't exist.

if you are going to get a volt/ammeter, splurge on a decent Fluke meter. My last meter i did not expect to use the features it came with so i nearly degraded, can't tell you how handy being able to read Hz is and the doors it opens to tinkering.

Ooooo, they have a special on frictionless surfaces!

From that site:

Have you ever had a demonstration fail due to non-rigidity of an essential part of your apparatus? This can be both frustrating and embarrassing, but is it a soluble problem!
