Tangible Pixels – What Are They and Why They Are So Cool?

Tangible Pixels – What Are They and Why They Are So Cool?

The name of the project these inventors are working on is “Tangible Pixels”.  A pixel is the basic element consisting of a 2D digital screen.  However these colorful dots are limited to what we can see on a screen.  What if we can turn these visual pixels into physical ones?  Physical ones that light up

A Hover Bike..This is a Rad Invention..

The illusive state of hovering.  We all remember Back to the Future part II where Marty McFly skates around town on a hovering skateboard.  Well now these inventors have layed out the spec for an actual hoverbike.  This inventor has spent years of research and development.  This prototype would fly like a helicopter but is

Uhh..This Woman is Able to Light Her Sink Water on Fire

Ok most of us have heard about the fracking phenomenon.  If not hydraulic fracking involves fracturing rock with a combination of water, chemicals and sand to extract natural gas and oil energy.  As the world’s population booms and we use an every increasing amount of energy, fossil fuel engineers have turned to more inventive methods

Why is a Giant Ice Circle Turning in This North Dakota River

The Cheyenne River in North Dakota has a perfect circle of ice probably fifty feet in diameter (maybe more) circling in perfect motion.  There is no explanation and the narrator seems perplexed as well.  In the Pacific Ocean and other large bodies of non flowing water whirlpool phenomenon have been observed.  In this case there

Can a Car Run for 100 Years Without Refueling? Fact or Fiction

Ok many of us have heard different theories on free energy and ways to get more mileage.  And of course the Toyota Prius, Hinda Insight and Tesla are pushing things forward into the world of fuel efficiency.  In this video the scientists and researchers are discussing a valuable and unutilized substance that could be the

What Happens When You Mix Mercury and Corn Syrup?

In this video the expirimenter interacts two extremely different substances..corn syrup and mercury.  Note mercury is a dangerous substance and do not try this at home (or anywhere without a professional).  Corn syrup is unique in that it has a high viscosity, about 1,000 times that of water yet it has a very low density. 

Amazing Experiment Moving Water With Sound

Have you heard of the term cymatiks?  It is the study of vibration and sound effects in a visual sense.  What does the sound look like when amplified, changed or placed against different types and states of matter.  In this awesome experiment, they use cymatiks to move water and create an awesome illusion.  And they

Molten Lava is Poured On Ice..Wow

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you poured boiling hat lava on a lot of ice?  Me too..and these experimenters have as well.  There’s not a lot of explanation of how they made this lava in the video but they weren’t at the foot of a volcano.  So did they melt a bunch

See Through 3D Desktop..Totally Rad..

Processing speeds, applications and mobile devices have all progressed at lightning fast speed.  And despite advances with 3D sensing and display technologies, for some reason keboards and monitors for desktops have stayed much the same..until now.  Jinha Lee and researcher Cati Boulonger demonstrate a pretty rad desktop that has a see through monitor and hand

Make Your Own Lightsaber..Yes!!

Who wants to make their own lightsaber?!  I do and wish this video was out when Star Wars first came out.  It may take using plasma is weird stuff..Its not a solid, liquid or a gas.  It is considered a 4th state of matter and exhibits properties of all three.  The narrator shows a plasma

Finally..The World’s Roundest Object..

Ladies and gentlemen here it is..the world’s roundest object!  And this is important why? Because it’s cool.  And btw the materials used to make this cost over $1,000,000 dollars.  This is a 1 kilogram sphere of silicon 28 atoms. there are 1.25 x 10 to the 25th power of them.  Now that it has been

Guy Makes a Light Bulb from Pencil Lead..Very Neat

This home scientist shows how to make a light bulb from pencil lead.  Safety is the number one priority as stated by “Crazy Russian Hacker” the gentleman in the video.  Anyways, this is just fun.  Why do light bulb companies get to make so much money I mean the filament always burns out right?  What

Woman Doesn’t Use Soap or Shampoo As An Experiment

Have you heard of the microbiome?  Well you have one and it is at the forefront of medicine and scientific discovery.  The term gut feeling is for a reason.  We have 100 trillion bacteria in our gut flora alone and as many nerves as a cat brain.  The microbiome makes up all of the organisms
