This is a video of natefromtheinternet popping a balloon full of Heinz ketchup to demonstrate its unique properties. Namely, that it’s a non-Newtonian fluid (a fluid whose viscosity changes depending on the amount of force or pressure applied to it), and, unlike cornstarch and water which becomes almost solid under
This is a video of unorthodox entertainer Michael Rayner (aka brokenjuggler, previously seen here) rolling a hamburger around a Japanese style parasol until it sheds its burger wrapper and eventually launches its pickles into the parking lot. What a showman! Just don’t tell my girlfriend, she’d fight you for wasting
NOTE: Volume on. This is a video of a retaining wall that was protecting a parking lot giving up the ghost and letting nature reclaim the asphalt, along with several vehicles. I hope they had Farmers Insurance! (They’ve seen a thing or two) One brave motorist even risks it all
These are a couple videos from psychologist Edgar Ciancio, who attached the business end of a garden hose to the cone of a subwoofer to vibrate the water coming out in sync with the sound waves produced. Pretty cool, and I can’t wait to demonstrate this at my next BBQ
This is a video of theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explaining string theory in just 60 seconds, which is unfortunately still 40-50 seconds longer than most people’s attention span. Did I learn something? Yes, but am I more confused now as a result? Also yes. That’s the price you pay for
This is a video of science lover James Orgill of The Action Lab wrapping a bitchin’ Nissan Altima in Musou Black Fabric Kiwami, a fabric that absorbs 99.9% of light that hits it. I WILL REFLECT NOTHING. Obviously, this is the perfect cover for getaway cars, provided you’re trying to
The same reason anybody else dances: because they’re wasted. Or you can read this recently published long-winded academic paper detailing the physics involved in dancing beer nuts. Basically, as the beer degasses the bubbles adhere to the nuts, lifting them to the surface, the bubbles pop, and the nuts sink
This is a video of science lover James Orgill from Youtube channel The Action Lab popping balloons in the loudest and quietest rooms at 3M’s Innovation Center. The loudest room is a reverberation chamber (is that what Darth Vader hung out in?) that reflects maximum sound waves, while the quietest
