Tesla Coil Used to Light Up Noble Gases

Tesla Coil Used to Light Up Noble Gases

Many home scientists have experimented with Tesla coils.  The quest for efficient energy as well as studying the properties of coil configurations is really interesting.  Sometimes trying different things out to observe the properties of different elements and substances with coil configurations can yield some interesting results.  Here is an intro to this video: Comparison

NASA Says Warp Drive Engine is Still Speculation

The NASA warp drive design stories have gotten a lot of discussion.  So much so that NASA felt compelled to comment and here is a bit more on the phenomenon: Despite the fevered reports rocketing around the Internet recently, NASA is not on the verge of developing a fuel-free, faster-than-light propulsion system, space agency officials

NASA Orion Pathfinder Spacecraft Gets It’s First Welding

If you are a space fan and follow NASA you are familiar with the Orion spacecraft.  Now, the Orion Pathfinder is really underway and here is more about it: On May 7, engineers at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans began welding together the first pieces of the structure of the Orion crew module

Could Life Have Existed Near This Ancient Star?

The search for alien life or evidence of it existing in other areas of space is one of the most intriguing of the ages.  There have been many methods used to try to prove or disprove and this group seems to have some cool studies that would show evidence in the having existed camp: In

Guy Builds a Laser at Home..Shows You How

Here is a cool video of a home experimenter building a 1W blue laser at home.  He shows you how to do it step by step in the video.  Here is  anote from the home experimenter off the bat: NOTE: Before you build a 1W Blue Laser, know that this a Class IV Laser that

He Made an 84 Watt “Death Star” At Home..Seriously

Darth Vader would be jealous… A mini “death star” was made at home by this experimenter and it works.  Some spend their time teaching science and physics and others come up with tests and inventions.  In the case of LaserGadgets, he does both.  Not only does he have an archive of home experiments, he is

Do You Think Life Could Exist On Titan Now?

Some think it is possible.. The search for organisms on other planets often involves looking far outside of our solar system.  From the S.E.T.I. program which began in the 1970s to the search for exoplanets, many different approaches have been taken.  Perhaps though, life exists on other planets and moons in our solar system?  This

NASA and a New Way to Search for Extraterrestrials

Many have wondered if we have been visited by UFOs or if alien life actually exists.  Not everybody but most people seem to think that with billions of stars in a galaxy and billions of galaxies in the universe, odds are that we are not the only ones!  Here is an excerpt from NASA on

3D Printer That Was Inspired by Terminator 2..Seriously

Many are saying 3D printing is the biggest thing since the internet.  And sites like thingiverse and companies like Stratasys and Xone have made incredible strides with their technologies.  Now there is a cool printer that configures things a bit differently.  Here is a brief intro about the video and their process: This new 3D

Vortex Rodin Coil With Plasma Revisited

We have posted previous cool videos by home experimenters working with different Rodin and Tesla coil configurations.  Here is a follow up that observes the effects on plasma.  An excerpt from the experimenter about the videoi: Watch how the POE Vortex Coil excites plasma in a fusion style configuration; running through the electromagnetic central focal

NASA Proves Time Travel Theory of Einstein

NASA has tested one of Einstein’s more interesting theories on time travel..and proved it.  Here is an excerpt from the study: Einstein was right again. There is a space-time vortex around Earth, and its shape precisely matches the predictions of Einstein’s theory of gravity. “The space-time around Earth appears to be distorted just as general

Guy Makes an Atmocpheric Powered Motor

Here is a really cool home experiment.  Many have tried some efficient energy machines at home using different techniques.  This one is using “atmospheric power” which seems definitely outside the box thinking.. Here is more about it on wikipedia Atmospheric electricity is the pattern of electrical charges in the Earth’s atmosphere (or less commonly, that

Giant Mayan Hole is 410 Ft Deep..and Remains a Mystery

The huge hole off the coast of the coast of Belize remains a mystery.  Diver Ramon Llaneza bravely explores this beautiful and unusual formation.  Many are saying there is evidence of a drought as performing a study of the minerals is indicative.  Maybe so.  Although this thing looks like an asteroid hit it or some

Quad 4 Tesla Coil Configuration Experiment

Home experimenter Daniel Nunez does a really cool home experiment with a quad Tesla coil configuration.  Most experiments in this area are with one coil so observing the effects of this array is interesting.  Here is his brief excerpt: Here is a demonstration of 4 POE Vortex Coil Minis wired in dual phase to drive

Guy Makes a Laser Cannon at Home

This guy made a laser cannon prototype at home.  This is cool so thought we’d post it.  I’m not necessarily what you would use this for aside from protecting Jedis and good folks throughout the universe against the dark side.  (although that seems reasonable).  No matter what do not try this at home without the

3D Printing May Eclipse the Internet

The internet has changed the world forever.  One of the first commercial services was Prodigy and then of course AOL with it’s trademark dial tone.  Now we are well into mobile adoption and social media, and 3D printing has emerged as an extremely disruptive technology.  We have surpassed making cool figurines at home to the
