The Science of Making Music With Lightning [Video]
While at the ArcAttack HQ, Physics Girl and Joe Hanson used the opportunity to explain how musical tesla coils work. Also, if you’re wondering what it feels like to be inside a cage between two active tesla coils, be sure to check out the 360 degree video below. For those who’ve never seen it, we […]
Would You Drink Recycled Water Made From Sewage?
Would you drink recycled water that comes from a sewage? The water is perfectly fine to drink, but as humans, we are not always rational and our disgust of where that water originally comes from usually overpowers our need for clean water if there’s another source available. [MinuteEarth]
Exploding Soda Cans with Electromagnets in SLOW MOTION [Video]
Watch a soda can rip itself apart in a fiery explosion at 11,000fps with a Phantom high speed camera. Running a current through a coil, produces an electromagnet. Turn up the voltage in this experiment, and make that current strong enough, and your electromagnet can rip a soda can in half. Or rather, make the […]
