The 1980s was a flourishing time for Cuban physics, with various achievementsranging from the design of several experiments to be performed by a Cubancosmonaut in 1980, to the synthesis of the first superconductor with criticaltemperature above 77 K shortly after being originally reported by USscientists. By the early 1990s, there was a profound economic crisis in thecountry. The situation strongly affected the availability of scientificinstruments to Cuban physicists; a process that continues today. Doing sciencein such `High Tropicallity' scenario has been challenging. Many Cubanresearchers have been forced to create competitive instruments with minimalresources. Here we put examples of some of these experimental setups, createdby members of the Group of Complex Systems and Statistical Physics, Universityof Habana. Most of them involve the recycling of old laboratory instruments,and even the use of daily life devices.

Guerrilla Science: creating scientific instruments in `high tropicallity' conditions
