Richard Saunders in 3D (and 2D)

Jul 20th, 2008 | By mooeypoo | Category: Experiments, Featured Articles, Physics, Special Guests

If you’ve been following my skeptical adventures, you know I have attended the Amazing Meeting 6 (organized by the James Randi Educational Foundation) about a month ago in Las Vegas. Not only have I had a blast and met lots of wonderful people, but I also had the privilege of doing a LIVE experiment with [...]



Spare Change in Potential

Jul 7th, 2008 | By mooeypoo | Category: Chemistry, Experiments

I don’t know what about you, but I have a box I keep my change in. I’ve bene thinking for a while what I can do with that change - buy a boat, rent a jetski, get a trip on those cool X-Planes that go up to space, etc etc. Big plans for small money, [...]



Bending Water with a Plastic Comb

Jun 1st, 2008 | By mooeypoo | Category: Experiments, Physics

Yes, yes, I seem to have an affinity towards bending stuff, specifically wet stuff. Last time I bent a laser beam using water, and this time I’m going to magically bend water using a plastic comb.
Science magic! Okay, well, it’s not quite magic, it’s science magic, which means it has (as always) a perfectly good [...]



A Physics Party Trick that Sucks… Liquid

Apr 13th, 2008 | By mooeypoo | Category: Chemistry, Experiments, Party Trick, Physics

Notice: This experiment is incomplete, and unclear. There were several attempts to correctly state the situation, but at the moment, a new re-make is planned to explain exactly and thoroughly what is happening to create this phenomenon.
Well, this is going to be sweet, short and to the point: Fire in closed spaces can really [...]



Goofing around with Non-Newtonian [Goo] Fluid

It’s Goo! It’s Solid! It’s Goo! It’s Solid! It’s— both???
My mom always told me never to play with my food, but in this case, I think even she will agree to make an exception. Not only am I going to play with this food, you should too. It’s way too fun to pass on.



An otherwise straight beam of light…

Mar 9th, 2008 | By mooeypoo | Category: Astronomy, Experiments, Physics

All super-thieves know that lasers go straight. It’s the tenet of their masterplan to jump over, crawl under and squeeze between those annoying laser beams around whatever-it-is they are interested in stealing. It can take them weeks to study the angles and train to spray dust over it so they can see them. Talented thieves.
I [...]
