Team The Krispies write:

The experiment is from a horrible science book which used a plastic spoon to make rice krispies fly because of the static. We found it didn’t work very well so used a Van de Graaff and a metal spoon to make the rice krispies fly some more. The film is like a news report on strange scientific developments.

The music is from Jamendo.

OK, so the camerawork is very shaky, and the big lump of explanation text is both hard to read and obscures the experiment. However, it’s still a very cool experiment. If I had a Van de Graaff around my house, I’d be trying it myself right now.

And don’t you just wish all news reports had middle Eastern/Russian crossover thrash rock soundtracks? Brilliant.

very good but you sounded a bit sarcastic on the 'genetically modified rice krispies' bit but I loved every moment of it
