American Science & Surplus

Just wanted to share this neat resource for scientific supplies. We often look for things in Edmund Scientific but for all the truly wild and fun check out American Science & Surplus!

Where else can you get things like:

Bacon Bandages!
Mend it with these bacon bandages. Or use them to patch ordinary cuts and scrapes with a bandage strip that you won't see on every other klutz in the office or kid in the classroom. Our each is an old-fashioned metal tin of (15) 3" bandage strips, each of which mimics a small slice of bacon. BONUS: A few of them end to end would make quite realistically disgusting scars for those costume parties. ADDED BONUS: A free tiny pink plastic pig in every box!

Dichroic Wow!
Here's an amazing, top quality dichroic optical assembly at a fantastic price for those who know what to do with it or its parts. White light entering one end splits chromatically and emerges from the other with virtually no loss of intensity. The assembly includes an iris, a dichroic wheel with two color filters, an infrared filter mirror, and a rectangular quartz prism all assembled around a 60 mm aspheric lens. The whole thing would fit into a 7" x 7" x 9-1/2" box. It has got to have applications in the physics classroom for demo purposes, perhaps in the lab, too. We are guessing someone paid hundreds of dollars to have these dudes made.

Gear & Pinion
Talk about a heavy-duty set of straight-bevel gears! This is a takeout from an outboard motor. The set is made to work at a 90° offset angle, with a reduction ratio of slightly under 2:1. The gear is 5-5/8" OD, 1-1/4" ID. The pinion is 3-1/4" OD, 1-1/4" ID. Heavy. Nice.
