How things work.

How things work. Yes I know there's a plethora of physics-related 'how things work' websites out there, but I got absorbed in this one for a long time (run by physics prof Louis Bloomfield). Started with my wondering: "Why do colors fade in sunlight?" The first page though has an interesting bit (with video) about explosive superheated water. Don't try this at home.
A discussion ofThe Way Things Work is never complete without reference to David Macaulay and gratuitous mention of H. Beard (Bored of the Rings) and R Barret's word The Way Things Really Work.
