This Demo is Dangerously-Stupid. Don’t try this at home. From http://www.slightlymadscience.com/. Potential Energy: PE=mgh. The energy stored by moving a mass to a height above the surface of the earth, which turns into Kinetic Energy when dropped due to the force of Gravity. That’s all well and good, but can you BREAK STUFF with it? SURE! At Slightly-Mad Science, we love breaking stuff!
