Tsunami simulator project

 Images Tsun Proto2 This is really neat — some guy built a little tsunami simulator in his basement (I'm assuming that the kid in the photo is the son of the creator, and not the creator, but I could be wrong. He might be a child prodigy for all I know). His explanation of why the tsunami was so devastating was really interesting. Link (Thanks, Jon!)

UPDATE: Robert sez: "Saw your post on BoingBoing, so I have to forward you a link to a "real" Tsunami Simulator here in my town. It's a pretty kick-ass facility, supposedly the only one of its kind in North America." Link
