In summary, there are numerous fun and educational physics experiments that amateur scientists can try. Some popular ones include building a homemade telescope, creating a pendulum wave, experimenting with static electricity, and constructing a simple electric motor. These experiments allow individuals to explore and understand concepts such as light, motion, and electricity in a hands-on and engaging way. They require minimal materials and can be easily done at home, making them perfect for those wanting to learn more about physics outside of a traditional classroom setting.

I like physics, especially experiments on amateur level. From making like a syringe generator, demonstrating the diamagnetic nature of water, making a small pump etc. If you know ArvindGupta or Overengineered videos on Youtube, I like to make things like that and learn the physics behind them.
