This is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill using a vacuum chamber to increase a cup of liquid nitrogen’s evaporation (as a result of increased boiling due to the lower pressure), causing the temperature to drop until it freezes into a solid around 66 degrees above absolute zero
Visual learning: it’s way cooler than just reading a boring textbook and writing dirty words in the margins. And to prove that, this is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill sticking his hand in a vacuum chamber and sucking all the air out. His hand blows up like
This is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill painting the entire interior of a room he made out of insulation board with the world’s blackest commercially available paint, Musou black, which absorbs 99.4% of light. He then turns on an overhead light bulb to see what it looks
An apple a day, am I right? “What about them?” Great with peanut butter or cheese, much harder to eat plain. This is a video of Slow Mo Guy Gavin spinning an apple in a jet of compressed air until it explodes, filmed at 28,500 frames/second so he can actually
Because magic is all around us, you just have to know where to look (PROTIP: look behind doors marked ‘FOR WITCHES AND WIZARDS ONLY’), this is a video of The Action Lab’s James Orgill demonstrating two chemical reaction tricks: one which creates very realistic looking fake blood, and another that
This is a photo of a single atom as captured by scientist David Nadlinger. The photo, which David very cleverly titled ‘Atom In An Ion Trap’, features a strontium atom (with 38 protons and a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter) visible in the very center of the
Because trying hard and believing yourself is the name of the game, this is a video of New Zealand based Youtuber Liam Thompson attempting to create the world’s largest dry ice bubble. What’s a dry ice bubble? Basically a bubble that fills itself up with the carbon dioxide gas that’s
This is a video of the Backyard Scientist constructing a device to blow consistent air rings underwater, then pumping oxygen and propane through the system to create flammable GAS rings, then using a homemade underwater cattle prod to ignite those rings and film the results in slow-motion. Heck yeah, underwater
