Above: Producing an indigo colored plasma by radiating an indium alloy. This is a video of Youtuber/electrical mad scientist StyroPyro constructing and experimenting with a 20,000 watt microwave oven, roughly 20x more powerful than the one above your stove. It can fully cook a frozen Hot Pocket in 10 seconds,
This is a video from the Diesel House museum in Denmark of its still functional B&W 2000 8-cylinder diesel engine starting, which was the world’s largest when it was built in 1933 through the 1960’s. The gigantic engine measures approximately 81 feet long, 41 feet tall, weighs 1,400 tons (almost
This is a video of a tornado crossing a lake in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, captured by man who’s clearly beat the odds and surpassed the average Florida Man life expectancy, which is shocking considering he’s the type to stand on his balcony and film a tornado coming at him.

This is a video of science experimenter and TikTok user Joemyheck using a massive lens to focus the sun’s energy on a tiny pinpoint on a rock, harnessing so much power it’s able to spawl, fracture, and melt the rock, eventually cracking it in half, forming a crack rock. Wow!
This is a video of a 3D printed SkyersJet electric ducted fan (EDF) that self destructs during a thrust test. I warned them not to turn it up to 11, but did they listen? The SkyersJet was designed to power large scale R/C aircraft or giant drones. Damn, that would
