The Royal Institution is an independent charity dedicated to connecting people with the world of science.Science shapes our lives, our culture and the world around us. It’s the medical treatment that may save your life. It’s the device in your pocket that connects you to the world. And it’s how we will solve the major global challenges of the future.Our mission is to harness science for the maximum benefit of society.The importance of our mission cannot be overstated. It was recognised by the 58 wealthy individuals who founded the Ri in 1799 and is just as relevant today. But to achieve the full benefits of what science has to offer, we must ensure that there is a healthy interaction between science and society – something we have pioneered for more than 200 years.There are multiple ways to get involved and support the Ri and to think more deeply about the wonders and applications of science.

Join&nbsp;Prof David Ricketts&nbsp;to explore the amazing world of high voltage science, discovering the secrets behind some powerful machinery including spark generators, ion-powered motors, and even aircraft. David will use demonstrations to explore the developments of this fascinating field of science, from small simple sparks, up to a huge 100,000 Volt display live in the Theatre. We'll explore the wonders of elusive plasma toroids and fountains. And no high voltage talk would be complete without (several) Tesla coils! You'll see meter long sparks illuminating the Theatre as they arc and dance to the musical beat of David's Tesla coil orchestra.In the tradition of the Ri, this talk will be 100% demonstration and amazement – no slides here. This talk will involve flashing lights, strong electromagnetic fields, and some loud noises.Price:<ul><li>Theatre audience: £16/£10, </li><li>Ri Members or Ri Patrons: £7</li></ul>
