2 polyphonic Tesla coils playing Mario.. more to come soon. Built by X-Labs USF here https://www.youtube.com/user/deltas9/videos musical tesla coil mario tesla

I made this pulse jet with a 1/2 scale because I couldn't find the correct size pipe for a full size. I'm using "rosscojector" style injection but it won't stay for more than 30 seconds. Unregulated

OOPS I forgot to dilute my solutions when making a video on how to grow my favorite crystals!! No mad scientists were hurt in the process. I did not publish this earlier for obvious reasons, but Ive gotten a lot of subscribers recently and i owe you something!!!

This video is about Mbira

Backyard Scientists T-Shirts! https://outloudmerch.com/collections/backyard-scientist A lot of people are complaining about that underwater view, and I feel bad about it... So I bought a GoPro 4 BLACK! be sure to subscribe, because a Im posting a new video on this in a week! What can i do with molten aluminum, pour it into anthills maybe.. In this video I pour over 5 POUNDS of red-hot molten aluminum metal into a pool. The metal makes a crazy noise and remains molten all the way to the bottom o

More of a curiosity than an auctual video but hey it was neat right?!

How to generate chlorine gas with TCCA, HCl. Then how to condense it into a liquid with Dry Ice/Alcohol.

Blowing through a mound of sulfur powder creating a finely dispersed cloud which is then ignited. This is an analogue to the classic lycopodium powder experiment. Blowing through the dust will make a huge flame creating sulfur dioxide, it smells like a giant match!

Hey guys, In this video I use liquid propane as an analogue to liquid nitrogen. Its easy, I just invert a propane cylinder and the propane comes out a a liquid. This liquid is very cold. about -40 degrees! I acts just like liquid nitrogen, freezing plants and stuff. I normally do not put warnings on my video, but this is very dangerous. don't be stupid. Propane is an explosively flammable gas. If you must attempt this, do it outside, away from buildings and structures. preferably on a windy

AKA "Saturns Tree" or the "Tree of Saturn", it is a well known, but often forgotten demonstration. It is very easy to do at home, but you must be carefull.. Lead is very poisonous! From "elements of chemistry" 1882, Page 255. http://books.google.com/books?id=TXQXAAAAYAAJ "Experiment 271 Dissolve 10 g of lead acetate sugar of lead in 250 cu em of Hs0 and add a few drops of C2H402 In this solution suspend a strip of Zn The Zn and Pb will change places leaving a solution of zinc acetate and a met

Growing your own pure copper crystals is very easy. You only need the following: -A suitable container (flat walls are better, you can observe the growth better!) -Copper Sulfate. -A power supply. 5 volts or less is best! You can even do this with a few batteries in parallel! HAVING PROBLEMS? see below. I got my power supply at a computer store, it was from an old computer and cost $1. I used 3.3v. If your having trouble, try decreasing the concentration of the solution, this reduces the amps

A subscriber suggested I melt a toaster with molten aluminum, so thats what i did!

Suggested by my subscriber: Beth Lancina- "...you should fill any random household items (metal) with molten aluminum like a toaster!..." Ever wonder what happens when you pour 1000 degree molten aluminum metal on a plugged in toaster? Sparks fly, plastic melts, and toasters everywhere shed a tear. I Melted 5 pounds of aluminum in my homemade forge/foundry and poured it red hot onto a toaster I got from goodwill! melt aluminum molten aluminum
