Did you know about these? I didn’t until cursing around reddit (more so than usual being stuck inside). It’s a Hail Cannon. Apparently it’s useless, but it’s still pretty crazy. Basically a controlled explosion directed upwards to try and break up hail stones before they can fall to the ground. I’m not so sure how … Continued
Science is so cool. Did you know that? I can’t imagine what I would have done with things like this when I was a kid. As far as I would have been concerned, it was magic. And when you think about it, magnets are kinda magical aren’t they? {reddit}
Ok, last time there was a LASER Gun, today it’s a Tesla Coil. It’s ridiculous. The Tesla Coil is not quite as dangerous, but also completely terrifyingly dangerous, science is weird like that. Anyway, this channel is pretty neat, you should watch it to learn more about things. {reddit}
Real time data, weather data, it’s all interesting isn’t it? On Nullschool.net you can explore real time wind data and watch weather patterns form. It’s pretty neat if I do say so myself. Check it out if you can, I am. {nullschool|reddit}
I just thought that you should know that. Yes it’s not that scientific of a test, and yes all the theoretical math and science should answer the question for you, but I thought you should know for yourself by watching this six minute video. Don’t say I never did anything for you.
I like Mark Rober, some of his videos are cool, some are awkward, most are enjoyable. This one is really interesting he goes into how he stalked his package thieves, then how he enlisted the help of his friend to design and build a glitter+fart bombing dummy package. I don’t want to spoil anything, but … Continued
Crazy things. Of course you know that helium gives you chipmunk voice. The others get surprising. I think my favorite is Xenon, “It almost feels like it’s attracted to the ground”. It should be noted that this is something you should never do as they very likely can kill you if done in excess and … Continued
It’s always fun watching people push LEGO to the limits. Here you can get a crash course in gear reduction and how to generate torque. It’s interesting to see the differences in weights that can be lifted. And it soon becomes apparent that the limitations aren’t in the gearing, or the motor, it’s the other … Continued
It will never cease to amaze me with the ingenuity of people when it comes to LEGO contraptions. I’ve never seen one of these full size bridge girder movers, but watching this LEGO version makes me amazed at how humans have been able to make machines to make life easier. Especially since this machine is … Continued
These short YouTube videos make it very easy to learn things. You might not get a quality education. And you might get more of a cliff’s notes version, but you learn things. And if it’s interesting for you, you can use it to learn more about things in general. Such is the case surrounding trying … Continued
