Here is another video and this home experimenter boasts one of the most powerful lasers anywhere outside of a lab. Here is an intro from the narrator: Designed with short…
Fun experiment with fluorescent substance (fluorescein)
This is just a fun video that observes one of the neatest substances, fluorescein as it has very powerful glowing effects. For those who don’t know it is actually the same substance that is in fluorescent/highlughter markers. It is also used in military missions as well as in some other applications that might surprise you.…
Guy makes a light saber at home with a real laser…
Ok, this isn’t just a cool 3d printed lightsaber handle (which are rad btw) but an actual lightsaber with a laser coming out of the end. This is insane and needless to say, do not try this at home or without the supervision of a professional. Here is a brief intro to this video by…
How to Create a Resonance Water Fuel Cell
This is a cool video showing a home experiment displaying some of Stanley Meyer’s principles with a water fuel cell. Here is a bit more background on what is happening: Steps to achieve resonance: 1. Low Frequency (LF) “Gated” Generator is OFF. 2. Adjusting High Frequency (HF) Generator to reach a state of resonance. 3.…
Guy Makes Hydrogen With Magnets From Home
Ok this is pretty neat! This guy makes hydrogen at home and here is a quick description by the experimenter in this video: “making hydrogen with magnetic resonance (magnets) also taking steps toward a hydrogen cell that runs on tap water only no added electrolyte!” That is awesome because the world seems to be getting…
Guy Makes a Vortex Canon That Shoots Crazy Air!
This is just a plain cool experiment although do not try this at home, indoors or without the supervision of a professional. These guys show us how a vortex canon can actually shoot and knock things down. In transcribing from the video the experimenter states: According to legend a really good blast of air should…
Cool Home Experiment With a Floating Gyroscope
Here is a pretty cool science experiment with a levitating gyroscope. It is based on something called lenz’s law and here is an excerpt on it from wikipedia Lenz’s law /ˈlɛnts/ is a common way of understanding how electromagnetic circuits obey Newton’s third law and the conservation of energy.[1] Lenz’s law is named after Heinrich…
Rubik’s Cube World Record is Broken..By a Robot
Here we have a contest of man vs. machine for the world’s fastest Rubik’s Cube assembly and the machine won. Well in any contest of man vs. machine isn’t it man (and women) who win in that they invented the machine in the first place? Ok before we go off on too much of a…
Guy Makes a 900 VA Tesla Coil With Lightning in His Lab
Once again the great inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla has influenced us to this day. Not only has a giant car line been named after him and his theories, but the modern ac dc current is still attributed to him by many. This inventor in the video makes a super powerful Tesla coil in his…
Guy Makes a Lego Tank with WiFi Powered by Arduino
Ok what’s cooler than legos and tanks? How about a wifi controlled lego tank made at home and controlled by arduino! The maker has a brief description here: A Lego tank that is controlled over Wi-Fi with an #arduinoAtHeart. Features include full remote control, automatic and manual front head-light control, 12+ shot rubber-band guns, full…
A Motor Almost Entirely 3d Printed at Home
Ok this is pretty rad! The gentleman in this video 3d prints a motor from home. He also walks you through which parts he uses and the 3ds max program from Autocad. To make things even cooler is this is supposed to be an atmospheric motor. So not only was it printed with parts from…
He Made A Gyroscope In His Shop That Does THIS
Who knew a gyroscope can do THIS? This inventor and machinist makes a precision gyroscope in his maker space. Many home enthusiasts and science fans know a gyroscope exhibits magical properties in that it seems to float when it spins. You can see these effects all over the world. Here is his intro to this…
Could Lasers and Catalysts Be the Future of Free Energy?
The quest for free or abundant energy has been at the forefront of discussion for a lot of the 21st century and before. This fascinating discovery at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory could take us a step closer to abundant energy from the sun. An international team has for the first time precisely tracked the…
Flame Gulping Engine This is Just Cool
If you think a flame gulping engine is pure awesomeness than this is the device for you. This is a brief intro from the experimenter on what he has made: This is a video of the flame gulper engine pictured on the “Models” page of the Engineman website. The fuel is alcohol. It was made…
Magnets Floating on Magnets Hover Like Back to the Future II
In this video the experimenter demonstrates a very cool magnetic effect. It is called dimagnetism and that effect has incredible potential in future applications from hoverboard technologies to hyperloop style transportation and more. For example, a superconductor could be considered a perfect diamagnet. And of course neodymium, the elemental magnets that are incredibly powerful seem…
Guy Builds a Tesla Coil at Home and Shows You How
Nikola Tesla is the famed inventor and scientist from the 1800s who has pioneered so many improvments in regards to energy. In this video the home scientist shows you how to make tesla coils at home. So what is a Tesla coil? A Tesla coil is a device that uses resonant circuits and alternating current…
Efficient Hydro Generator Made at Home
Ok this is pretty cool. This home inventor makes a vertical turbine hydro generator system using a stream in his backyard. Mark from this video was also seen on the television show “America Unplugged”. He takes us to his barn to show us more of the components he used and information on how to construct a…
Really Cool Small Cubes That Self Assemble
The team at MIT does it again with advancements in robotics. In this video they demonstrate modular robots that change their geometry according to the task. Its awesome because most robots are designed for a specific task and they have a fixed architecture. They will perform that single task well but not be able to…
Guy Makes RFID Garage Door Opener Using Arduino
If you’re an arduino fan or just learning, or havent’t heard about it here is a breakdown. Arduino is an open source microcontroller that you can program to do amazing things.
