People said this experiment was impossible, so I tried it
AdultsEducationScienceExperimentsA massive thank you to everyone at Goldschmidt for making this possible. With special thanks to Dr. Axel Hoeschen, Christof Gassmann and Claudia Koch.
Primitive Technology: One-Way Blower Iron Smelt & Forging Experiment
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...I tested the one-way spinning blower in an iron smelt and it is more effective than the previous both way spinning blower.
Primitive Technology: Crab and Fish Trap
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...I made a fish trap from cane and tested it over the course of a year catching various aquatic animals.
Primitive Technology: Brick and Charcoal Production
AdultsConstructionCreativityEducation...In this video I use the thatched hut to fire bricks and make charcoal in for the first time.
Primitive Technology: Roasted Ore and Shell Flux Smelt
AdultsCreativityLifeNature...I tested 2 ways of improving iron smelts by treating the ore, roasting the ore and using snail shells as a flux. Then finally I recycled old slag to see if it would produce any more iron.
3 Ways Of Seeing Invisible Air Flow
AdultsEducationScienceExperimentsIn this lab, they use different flow visualization techniques to help detect contraband, residues, and develop trace particle detection methods.
The Future of Machines That Move like Animals | Robert Katzschmann | TED
AdultsExperimentsLifeTechnology...Imagine a boat that propels by moving its "tail" from side to side, just like a fish. That's the kind of machine that TED Fellow Robert Katzschmann's lab builds: soft-bodied robots that imitate natural movements with artificial, silent muscles.
Cannon Shock Waves in Ultra Slow Motion
AdultsPhotographyTechnologyScience...What does a cannon ball look like being shot in super slow motion?
How to Make an Elephant Explode with Science - The Size of Life 2
AdultsAnimalsGeneticsScience...Life on this planet is based on cells. Cells do vary in size. But they are pretty similar in their dimensions across all species. A blue whale doesn't have bigger cells than a hummingbird, just a lot more of them.
Can Paper Cut Wood?
AdultsCreativityTechnologyHow-to...Thought I'd give this a try, just to see what would happen. Kind of gives a new meaning to thin kerf blade!
GoPro: Creating Fire Rain - A Steel Wool Experiment
AdultsPhotographyScienceTechnology...Rob Nelson and Jonas Stenstom from Untamed Science take us through the process of using steel wool and long exposure to create a fire rain photo.
Can You Start a Fire with a Sandwich Bag?
AdultsCreativityLifeNature...Did you know you can start a fire with a ziploc bag, a bit of water, and the power of the sun? Here's how to do it step-by-step.
Holding and Explosion at 20,000 fps
AdultsFilmTechnologyScience...I always thought firing from the center was the best way to do it. Turns out I'm probably wrong.
