Under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall the author and/or any co-authors be liable for any consequential, indirect or incidental damages whatsoever that result from the use of the materials and suggestions in this site or any experimentation inspired by the content of this site.
For the pages dealing with electronics and electricity, the material in this site are the expressions of personal experience, experimentation and studies. Technical instructions are designed, in the first place, for young students. The suggested experiments, as well as the pages on child development are for information only. No guarantee, however, is given for absence of viruses, correctness or interruptions.
Without supervision by an adult who has the necessary expertise, electrical experiments can be dangerous. There is little or no danger as long as ordinary ('torchlight' and the like) batteries, up to 12 V, are used to power the experiments. By contrast, the 12 V from a strong source such as a car battery can lead to serious burns or even fire if incorrectly handled. Any connection to domestic power outlets should be strictly avoided unless in the presence of an adult who is suitably qualified in electriciy and/or electronic technology.
