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
While I have made solid rocket engines in the past, I wanted to challenge myself with something different. After seeing several hybrid rocket motors on the ground, I decided I would try to make one that would actually fly. While … Continued
Mountain Dew has been my favorite drink for a very long time and I thought it would be interesting to try to extract the caffeine from it. This video documents the process of extracting the caffeine using methylene chloride and … Continued
I read about how Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth and I knew that I had to try it myself. By just holding up a yardstick at solar noon in two states I was able to get a fairly … Continued
In this video made for the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, I explore the science of dielectrics and the cool things that happen as insulators become conductors. In the process, we make some awesome Lichtenberg wood burnings. Thank you so much for … Continued
For our engineering yearlong project, my friends and I were able to get a grant to send a weather balloon the edge of space. In honor of SpaceX’s launch of a Tesla Roadster with Starman, we decided to launch our … Continued
