My personal favorite place to find projects like this is the Bizarre Stuff website. They have descriptions on how to build everything from solar ovens and crystal radios to Tesla coils and glow-in-the-dark pickles. You're also welcome to look through our answers archives. You'll find descriptions of lots of projects like Home-Made Batteries and Hero's Fountains. You can also follow the "back to list" link at the bottom of this page to see some science projects that other people have asked us about.
