Watch How To Make Solid Nitrogen
The ever clever veritasium does a cool experiment with solid nitrogen: What happens when you decrease the pressure around a liquid? It boils. Water boils at room temperature once the pressure is low enough. What is interesting is that this decreases the temperature of the liquid. The fastest molecules escape, leaving the slower ones behind.…
Plasma Cutter Video In Extremely Slow Motion
The Slo Mo guys have done it again and this time they film a plasma cutter in extremely slow motion. They get footage of this thing at 2500 frames per second. It almost looks like it is going through water instead of a solid compound in the video. Note: Do not try this without the…
Cool Optical Illusion Laser Effect Caught On Video
The ever adventurous styropyro makes another cool laser video showing some unusual visual effects! Here is an amazing effect created using a violet laser, spinning mirrors, and a glow in the dark surface. The pattern is changed by adjusting the speed of the motors. Note: Don’t try this without the supervision of a professional Let’s…
Guy Boils Water With Homemade Solar Vacuum Tube
Here is a very impressive home device using solar power in a different way to boil water: This is a preview of a 5 ft solar evacuated vacuum tube I will be using in a large trough. These tubes are very efficient and work by absorbing sunlight and keeping the heat. The always interesting “greenpowerscience” shows…
They Made A Solar Powered Ray To Melt Bronze
Whoa! There have been a few backyard solar lenses to make their way around the internet. Some have been pretty powerful and others on the weaker side. This device is attempting to actually melt bronze: Kevin Moore and Grant Reynolds attempt to create a focused beam of light hot enough to melt bronze. To accomplish…
Neodymium Magnets Destroy Stuff In Slow Motion [Video]
Yes! Neodymium magnets are some of the strongest in the world and they do a cool experiment in this video: Watch as two super-strong neodymium magnets jump together in slow motion, destroying a variety of every day items. Will it squash, smash or explode? See how an apple, an iPhone, a plastic cup full of…
Watch A Giant Water Balloon Pop In Slow Motion [Video]
They put a 6ft tall man in it.. The slomo guys have done it again. In this experiment they get an enormous water balloon and put a 6ft tall man in it. They then proceed to fill it up with water and film what happens in slow motion. Needless to say it is pretty cool.…
Guy Moves Magnetic Putty With Neodymium Magnet [Video]
This is a really cool home experiment with bucky balls and neodymium magnets: Magnetic magic putty or mighty thinking putty has different properties. The Video show many time lapse sequences. Buckyballs sinking into magnetic magic putty. Neodymium magnet cube or cuboid sinking into mighty thinking putty. Intelligent putty jumping on the table like a super…
They Made A Fire Tornado In The Backyard And It’s Crazy [Video]
DO NOT TRY THIS! Here is an interesting home experiment which you should not try without the supervision of a professional. The video makers will say the same: Caution: This project is all about fire. Make the proper precautions to keep your fire from spreading. If you are in an area experiencing drought, you shouldn’t…
You Won’t Believe The Optical Illusions Your Eyes Can See Sometimes
Many of us have seen 3D movies, drawings from by M.C. Escher and other internet videos and pics showing off different types of illusions. This clever home experimenter shows us a few different types of illusions that he has found and goes through some of the explanations. What is the craziest illusion you’ve ever seen? Do…
Power Generator Made At Home With Spare Parts
This is really awesome. The home experimenter in the video makes a vertical turbine hydro generator system using a creek in his backyard. His name is Mark and he was actually on the show “America Unplugged”. He is kind enough to take us on a tour of his barn which he uses as an inventor’s garage…
10 Science Experiments That Will Amaze You [Video]

CrazyRussianHacker guy has done it again and shows off his science knowledge. Here are the first ones on the list: 1 – Dry Ice Bubble 2 – Supercooled Water 3 – Crazy Neodymium…
Brave Guy Goes Through 9G Centrifuge Training [Video]
You won’t believe the faces he makes. G force is equivalent to gravitational pull. Often times in the military they put certain individuals through g force training to make sure they can handle the conditions involved in the handling of certain apparatus. In this video, the brave individual is video taped as he goes through…
They Made A Battery With Portabella Mushrooms
Have you heard of the potato clock?
