Megawatt 2001

It's electrifying!

How loud is lightning up close? Why can we only see light energy? When are strong radio waves a problem? How did someone live through seven lightning strikes?

Where can you find the answers to all these questions? The Megawatt exhibition at Scienceworks Museum.

With an exhilarating show of sparks and electrical phenomena, this exhibition aims to show the relevance of electricity to our everyday lives and highlight the importance of safety when dealing with it.
