This exhibit uses a strobe light to apparently stop the motion of a fountain of drops. The drops are produced regularly by a vibrating nozzle. If the strobe light blinks at the same rate the nozzle vibrates, it catches the water in the same position each time making them appear to be standing still. By varying the frequency of the strobe light, we could even make the water droplets 'flow' back / upwards. This video was shot at Science Centre, Singapore on 19th June 2009.

Fire Tornado at the Science Centre Singapore
The Fire Tornado, an original Science Centre design and engineering masterpiece,is the highlight of the Fire exhibition and uses natural convection to conjure a magnificent fire vortex. How it works: Fire is contained within a tube with an opening at the top end. The hot air in and around the fire rises, which in turn draws the surrounding air in towards the fire at the base. Air is drawn into the tube at the base of the fire via natural convention. As the air moves towards the centre of the tube, the rotational speed of the flow increases due to the conservation of its angular momentum. An intense spiralling action is created as the fire rises and gets elongated thus also producing a very intense light. This stretched-out flame -- called a vortex flame - is distinctively different to an ordinary flame. It is a fire tornado! A fire vortex of up to six metres in height is visible in the exhibit, happening only at the Science Centre Singapore, every day from 3 September 2010 at 3pm.

Visiting Singapore and not going to the Science Center will render your Singapore trip incomplete. It is a great place and one of the most recurrently visited tourist spot in Singapore. Dr Toh Chin Chye, the minister of Science Board, inaugurated it on the tenth of December in the year 1997. Its cost was around S$12 million. This Science Center was constructed with the idea of displaying science exhibits that were earlier an important part of the Singapore's National Museum. This Center was built to particularly concentrate on science and the advancements, leaving the National Museum dedicated to only historical exhibits. The initial plans and ideas of constructing a science council in Singapore came up around the year 1969. The Government of Singapore supported the idea and later it was materialized and thus the Science Center came into being. Singapore's Government looked at this idea as a great way to promote science as a subject. Raymond Woo was given the charge of the construction of this fantastic science center. There are more than 1000 science exhibits in this center, which makes it imperative to keep a good amount of time at hand for the spectators, while visiting this place. These exhibits are not only interesting to look at, they offer a great way to educate and inform people about the various aspects of science too.

Science Centre Singapore
The Science Centre Singapore (Abbreviation: SCS, Chinese: 新加坡科学馆), previously known as Singapore Science Centre is a scientific institution in Jurong East, Singapore, specialising in the promotion of scientific and technological education for the general public. With over 850 exhibits spread over eight exhibition galleries, it sees over a million visitors a year today, and over 17 million visitors up to the year 2003 when it celebrated its silver jubilee.

History
The Science Centre was born out of a governmental initiative in hiving off the scientific-related exhibits from the then National Museum of Singapore into a separate institution so that the latter could specialise in its artistic and historical collections. This idea was first mooted in 1969 by the Science Council of Singapore, and was subsequently approved by the government, who was keen to promote scientific education in the rapidly modernising country keen to tap into the technological sector. The SCS building's architecture was decided by an architectural design competition organised by the Science Centre Board. Raymond Woo's entry was selected, and was thus commissioned as the architect for the project. Built at a cost of S$12 million on a 60,000 m² site in Jurong East, it was officially opened on 10 December 1977 by Dr Toh Chin Chye, who was the Minister-in-charge of the Science Centre Board.On 7 December 2007, the Science Centre rebranded itself to be known as "Science Centre Singapore" ("SCS").
Developments
In 1987, the centre saw a significant expansion with the opening of Singapore's first and only OMNIMAX (now known as IMAX Dome) theater, the Singapore Omni-Theatre. Costing S$18 million, it has a 276 seat theater underneath a 23-meter tilted dome.In 1999, a S$38 million renovation expanded on the exhibition space, created a new entrance, as well as open-air exhibition areas and a direct connection to the separate Omni-Theatre building. In 2000, Snow City, a recreation of a -5 degrees Celsius environment in tropical Singapore was set up beside the Omni-Theatre.
The Observatory
Location
The Science Centre Observatory is situated at , and is 15.27 m above mean sea level. It is one of the few observatories in the world located next to the Equator. Its unique position allows constellations in both the northern and southern celestial hemispheres to be observed and thus opens up more vistas in the sky for observers. The Observatory is endowed with a range of sophisticated facilities as well as a classroom for astronomy lessons, slide shows and public talks.
Telescope
The main telescope of the Observatory is a 40-cm Cassegrain reflector of combined focal length 520-cm. The sub-telescope is a 15-cm apochromatic Kepler refractor of focal length 180-cm. The equatorial mount for the telescopes was designed for Singapore's unique location in ; the accompanying English yoke provides the necessary stability for the drive and tracking mechanisms. The 5.5-metre stainless steel dome can be made to swivel in any direction and its shutter can be made to slide open for the telescope to be focused onto interesting objects in the sky.
Star-gazing session
The Observatory is open to the public for star-gazing sessions on every Friday nights with effect from June 2006. The opening hours are from 7.50pm to 10pm.The Observatory can comfortably accommodate 50 visitors per session. It is important to note that star-gazing through the observatory telescope is only possible when the sky is clear. However, regardless of weather conditions, the staff will be present.
Relocation Plans
On 4 April 2008, the Urban Redevelopment Authority announced plans to relocate the Science Centre next to Chinese Garden MRT Station in 10 to 15 years.
