The Coanda Effect Is Really Cool..and it Has Transport Applications

The Coanda Effect Is Really Cool..and it Has Transport Applications

This video displays something called the Coanda Effect.  Here is more about it from wikipedia: An early description of this phenomenon was provided by Thomas Young in a lecture given to The Royal Society in 1800: The lateral pressure which urges the flame of a candle towards the stream of air from a blowpipe is

Quantum Levitation With Frozen Disc..Absolutely Awesome

What is quantum levitation?  Some call it the Meissner effect and here is more from wikipedia: The Meissner effect is the expulsion of a magnetic field from a superconductor during its transition to the superconducting state. The German physicists Walther Meissner and Robert Ochsenfeld discovered this phenomenon in 1933 by measuring the magnetic field distribution

This Guy Made a Laser Drone at Home..Seriously

Finally someone makes a laser drone at home. In all seriousness, this is pretty inventive and this home experimenter had this to say about the device: Not for sale, no how to, don’t even ask for what I used. Just too stupid, too dangerous. Well at least he’s honest and absolutely, do not try this

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

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

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

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

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

Homemade Rocket Engine…For Real

This is rad.  He built a rocket engine at home.  Needless to say do not attempt without the supervision of a professional.  Here is more about the video from the inventor: I built a small rocket engine for demonstration purposes. The engine is built from a 2″ diameter acrylic rod through which I drilled a

Guy Makes a Solar Death Ray…In His Backyard

Solar power is one of the best and still underutilized efficient energy sources.  This home inventor makes a super powerful aqua lens in his backyard and here is how he describes it: This solar water lens that is almost 30 inches in diameter is grid free energy and can burn through wood quickly. It delivers

Guy Does a Laser Experiment at Home With Dry Ice

This guy does a cool test at home studying the cooling properties of dry ice on his homemade laser.  Here is an excerpt from the experimenter: In this video, one of my laser diodes is tested to destruction with an interesting cooling experiment. The experiment was to verify whether or not a larger power output

The free energy quest continues…check out this device

These home engineers and inventors experiment with an efficient energy system based on Stanley Meyer’s work.  He is the controversial inventor who may or may not have made a water fuel cell.  Here is more on him from wikipedia The water fuel cell is a technical design of a “perpetual motion machine” created by American

3D Holograms…you can now touch and feel them

Who remembers Star Wars when R2-D2 projected princess Leah through a hologram and people went bananas?  Well, that may not be far off, and possibly even further along in that you could interact with these holograms with a new technology.  Here is an excerpt from the research project: “Touchable holograms, immersive virtual reality that you

Guy makes laser beam goggles wow

Whoever this inventor is he makes some cool stuff.  He also states “Again: Not for sale, NO tutorials, NO plans, no where no how. Please respect it and just enjoy the video.”  I guess he gets a lot of requests which may indicate that a lot of people email and call him to purchase his

Guy makes a pyroboard on fire and pumps music through it

For those interested the real name for one of these contraptions, its called a Ruben’s Tube, named after the physicist who invented it, Heinrich Rubens.  He studied the properties of gas and fire when vibration and sound flows through.  This home inventor did something rad and made his own Ruben’s tube, lit it on fire

This machine destroys everything…omg

Ok this machine is absolutely insane.  DO NOT attempt using this type of machinery without the supervision of a professional although not sure where you would find one of these anyways.  Basically this thing destroys everything and the video shows people putting in all kinds of substances to this mega monster to see what it
