Guy Makes A Generator From Old Washing Machine Parts

Guy Makes A Generator From Old Washing Machine Parts

Free power anyone? DIYer gets clever in this video and makes a power generator from scrap.  This is pretty cool and he lists out the parts and how tos step by step.  Although this particular power generator might not solve the world’s energy problems, it is a step in the right direction.  Hardly a day

The Things That COULD Have Lived On Mars

Science fictionish in theory but interesting…is he right? This 19th century astronomer theorized that some of the red planet markings were from civilizations of the past.  Although that is not completely unique in theory, the vast explanation of how these “markings” were made and why is what is particularly fascinating.  He, as well as famous

Diamonds Can Now Be Made At Room Temperature

Wait..what? Diamonds are extremely rare although this breakthrough may make them more common.  That can be a bit of a stretch but there is a special state of carbon called Q-carbon that makes this possible.  It has ferromagnetic properties, which if you have seen videos of ferrofluid, that may be a crude way of understanding

List Of 10 Stars In Space That Are Absolutely Bizarre

Do you know about these? Some stars are very similar to our sun and others exhibit properties that may surprise you.  This list examines 10 of the most unusual stars that astronomers have observed in space.  There is even one star on here that is estimated to be 14.4 billion years old. Given an uncertainty

They Discovered An Unusual Closed Chamber In An Aztec Ruin

This JUST happened.. Archaeologists found a hidden tunnel in 2013 and they just found something even cooler inside it.  South and Central American archaeology was popularized by the intro to the Indiana Jones movie in the 1980s.  Now, in one of the most well known temple regions, there is something that has perplexed archaeologists for

NASA Releases New Pic Of Unusual Galaxy NGC 2768

Did you know they could be this shape? There is a particular name for the kind of galaxy we’re talking about.  It is an elliptical galaxy with a certain name.  The name is actually after a famous astronomer.  He actually discovered this galactic anomaly over half a century ago: NGC 2768 is also an example

Guy Pours Liquid Bromine on an iPhone 6

Uh don’t try this at home.. The ever adventurous TechRax is at it again with another bizarre experiment.  He takes a new iPhone 6 and pours liquid bromine on it.  Why would someone do this and how can they afford to keep eating the cost of new smart phones?  Well that is for him to

Have You Seen The Double Slit Experiment?

This is trippy and cool.. Is light a wave or a particle?  Can you get your mind around this?  The ever adventurous Veritasium does a cool experiment with water demonstrating the properties of waves and particles, hence shedding light (no pun intended) on this question.   He even interviews some people on the street to

Quantum Computers Are Insanely Fast

these things will blow you away… Quantum computers don’t compute in 0s and 1s they use qubits. Say what? In simple terms it is almost in a state of reacting to multiple factors at once instead of being broken down into mini yes or no commands. What does this mean? Well, some are saying it

Did You Know X-Ray Wind Can Effect A Galaxy?

Who knew? 2015 has been quite a year from astronomy and what they show in this video may surprise you.  Did you know about these hot x-ray winds?  Apparently, gravity and “dark matter” are not the only things effecting a galaxy: Striking new observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of a spiral galaxy moving

These Brothers Rescued A Bald Eagle #TheyTookASelfie

This story will move you… It isn’t everyday that you see this type of animal rescue.  Hunting traps are a controversial topic although no one intends them to catch eagles.  And that is just what happened while these brothers found one: Michael and Neil Fletcher were hunting together nearby Ontario’s Windy Lake last Tuesday when

10 Mysterious Events That Took Place Around The World

Did you know about these? These unusual events actually happened and are absolutely bizarre.  There have been shows in the past on network television like Ripley’s Believe It Or Not and That’s Incredible which were precursors to this type of news.  However, the reach of the internet has enabled video editors and content distributors the

What Are The Chances Of Finding Alien Civilizations?

The “Drake Equation” has just changed.. The search for alien life continues strong in 2015 and is not a topic reserved for those on the fringe.  Scientists at MIT and Cornell are weighing in on things.  The advent of exoplanets being detectable is making some news: The Drake equation describes “N”: the number of civilizations in

This Refrigerator Doesn’t Use Electricity And Stays Cold

Will this catch on? Apparently some ambitious students came up with a new way to keep things cold.  And of course, using electricity is not only a financial burden for many households, there are of course some areas that don’t even have access to electricity and their food can go bad.  If future iterations improve

This Enormous Black Hole Changes How We Thought Galaxies Formed

This was unexpected.. Apparently this black hole is so huge compared to where it resides, they are changing their astronomical models.  It actually outgrew the host galaxy at a rapid pace which has astronomers scratching their heads.  Usually the number of stars is positively correlated with the size of the black hole. Let’s find out more

Mysterious Site Cappadocia Examined On Video

It goes back to the 4th century B.C. Have you heard about this archaeological phenomenon?  It is located in Turkey which has been in the news a lot lately but archaeology has nothing to do with that.  Some people even consider this one of the most amazing places on the planet.  There is nothing else

Apparently You CAN Escape From A Black Hole

That’s good to know 😉 Apparently astronomers have witnessed a fairly rare event.  It is also not widely knows outside of the stargazing community that a star actually can escape from a black hole, sometimes.  Black holes are still extremely mysterious so observing them can be challenging.  Our models are getting more sophisticated but there

THIS is Lurking In The Water…Seriously

Heard of a giant pyrosome? These ocean animals rarely come to the surface.  And the movie Jaws from the 1980s made much of a generation freak out about sharks and the ocean.  Now, in this video they explore the deep with some awesome footage on the giant pyrosome.  Basically it is kind of like an

Exoplanet Alpha Centauri Bb Is Only 4 Light Years Away

(4 years of traveling at 186,000 miles per second) 😉 The focus on exoplanets has increased as one of the ways to search for other forms of life.  And our closest neighbor star Alpha Centauri is only 4 light years away (3.9 to be exact).  So, we have found an exoplanet in that star system
