Today in celebration of Fourth of July we take a look at fireworks and how they get their beautiful colors. We learn about electrons emitting light as they go from an excited state back to a ground state and emission … Continued
I recently got my wisdom teeth removed, so I decided to revisit an old video and soak my teeth in Bang, Mountian Dew, Carbonated Water, and Coffee. In this video, I talk about how acids erode the hydroxyapatite that makes … Continued
In celebration of Halloween, I wanted to explode a bunch of pumpkins using a mixture of calcium carbide and water. This reaction creates the flammable acetylene gas which can be easily ignited with a lighter or blow torch. Thank you … Continued
I was on Wonderama this weekend exploring pressure – check it out!
While I have done the classic Whoosh Bottle Experiment with a 5-gallon water jug in the past, I’ve always wanted to super-size it. In this video, I use a clear 32-gallon trash can to this classic experiment on a scale … Continued
I’ve been wakeboarding for a few years now, but never really thought about the physics that goes into it. In this video, we talk about the fluid dynamics that makes wakeboarding possible and how it is very similar to an … Continued
Gunpowder has been around for centuries so at this video I try to make my own gunpowder from potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal and use it in a mini cannon. Thank you so much for watching this video! If you … Continued
In this video, I talk about the chemistry behind the classic Hot Ice demonstration. I talk about the supersaturation of sodium acetate and how the formation of a crystal lattice can produce an exothermic reaction. Thank you so much for … Continued
Check Out BricsCAD: http://tiny.cc/g5n94y I hope you guys really enjoyed this video! It took quite a bit of time to get everything ready but I’m super happy with how the footage turned out. BTS Link (from my last weather balloon): … Continued
I recently stumbled upon Nitro Cold-Brew Coffee and I found the science behind it quite fascinating. In this video, we discuss why nitrogen is used instead of other gases like CO2 and why cold brew coffee is used. Thank you … Continued
