My high tech research

Now that my laptop is fixed, I can post pictures of some of my high-tech research. The sample in the foreground is on a Sartorious 12 kg/0.01 g resolution scale. The sample is a piece of wood with moisture content pins with wire leads, double-wrapped in two plastic bags and construction sheathing tape. The thing in the background is my humidity chamber--a big piece of tupperware with water on the bottom, below a grate, and a halogen lamp heating the water below it. So far nothing's melted or caught fire.
