A Day on My Own

Today I did some exploring of Bangalore on my own.  I first went to see the Karnataka state parliament building.

I then went to an aquarium.

Finally, I went to a science and industry museum which was really cool.  I had no clue you could make square gears but they actually run just as smooth as circular gears.
 There were several engines including steam, diesel, and gas engines and even a jet!


They also had a section on electronics, including an antique voltmeter.
And a simple electric motor:

I'll be leaving tonight for Coorg tonight and doing some trekking.  Hopefully I'll have updates again in a few days.
