Neodymium Magnet Floats In Round Copper Pipe
It’s hypnotic to watch. This home experimenter takes a cylindrical piece of copper with a hole bored out of it and drops in a circular neodymium magnet. Neodymium magnets are some of the most powerful in the world. These types of magnets were invented as recently as the 1980s. The costs have also come down…
Guy Can Boil Water In Seconds With This Homemade Device
This guy makes a very interesting coil that could be made at home with a few parts. It doesn’t take a scientist or physics student to make one of these its pretty easy. Here is how this home experimenter describes this device: In this video, I make a pancake coil for inductive heating the surface…
Watch This Bubble Freeze Into An Ice Sphere
Whoa! This takes place in Calgary where it can get very cold. This home experimenter filmed something really cool and describes his process as such: When it gets really cold outside, all you can do is have some fun with it. At -25C/-13F, soap bubble mixtures freeze faster than they pop, making for some very…
This Experiment Seems To Defy Gravity…Or Does It?
The ever adventurous Veritasium does it again with another cool science experiment. This one demonstrates the physics law of precession. He spins a very heavy wheel and rotates it in a way to really show off how things work. it is pretty much a giant gyroscopic effect. NOTE: DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION…
Guy Pumps Music Through A Pyro Board And It’s Awesome
This is an all around rad experiment and it shows off some cool physics effects. Here is an intro to what this experimenter is doing: Rubens’ Tube is an awesome demo and here we take it to the next level with a two-dimensional ‘Pyro Board’. This shows unique standing wave patters of sound in the…
Home Laser Guy Makes A “Light Saber” In His Lab
The ever inventive “Styropyro” makes another laser device in his lab and this one emulates the likeness of a light saber. NOTE: DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT THE SUPERVISION OF A PROFESSIONAL Whether you are a Star Wars fan, a casual science enthusiast or just enjoy off the wall stuff there are some cool tips on…
Guy Torches His iPhone at 6000 Degrees F And This Happened
Whoa! This looks cool.
