I'm working on a random number generator based on background radiation (True quantum-random numbers). This is the circuit working for the first time. Radiation is passing through a Geiger-Muller tube, stopping a counter and displaying the result on a Nixie Tube. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTjmuii5boA
This is the detail video for my Electroshock Catan project. The Catan board that shocks people taking slow turns!
I give detail about the board construction, the control circuit, and the math behind the timing/calculation of "excessively long turns".
I do not give information about the high voltage supply because you should NOT try this at home!

I made a set of steampunk glasses to wear to the FIRST Robotics Competition 2017 game FIRST Steamworks! This is an 18-part print (plus one piece of metal wire) that assembles into a frame to snap-fit over the top of standard polycarbonate safety glasses. This video shows my printing, painting, assembly, and finishing process.

In this video, I explain (using a bunch of timelapses) why "polar tracker" or "star tracker" camera mounts allow you to take long exposures of the sky without streaking. I also show off my polar tracking rig, which is my most recent piece of homebuilt photography equiment. It uses a door hinge and a curved lead screw to slowly rotate the camera (approximately 0.25 degrees per minute) and eliminate streaking in astrophotogrphy images.
Based on the design by Gary Seronik:
http://garyseronik.com/build-a-hinge-tracker-for-astrophotography/
My parts:
Motor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1KXV3Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Gears: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EPQMFWQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Battery: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009USAJCC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
lead screw: #8 threaded rod from Home Depot
Hinge: 8"x8" strap hinge from Home Depot
Controller: LM317 configured as voltage source
Any USB battery will work - this is just the one I have for my phone.
If I re-built the design now I would probably print or lasercut the two necessary gears to save money and have more customizability.

The long-awaited sequel (lol) to my first 3D printed mirrors video, where I take your advice and switch to UV-cure resin, get great results, but not good enough results, and then cheat by silvering a chunk of regular acrylic sheet! This video is a collab with (and the idea of a saddlepoint mirror was from) Steve Mould, so check out his video about this very saddlepoint mirror after you watch this!

A completely different method for obtaining 3D printed mirrors via electroplating that I didn't talk about here but is very cool:

When I'm not making YouTube videos, I'm growing crystals in a Molecular Beam Epitaxy vacuum chamber held about 12 orders of magnitude below atmospheric pressure. This is the first in what I'm hoping will be a series of videos featuring the MBE chamber, and this time I'm talking about leaks: how to find the tiniest leaks in the most sensitive systems, and how an MBE can be considered basically a perfect pressure vessel with no air leaking in or out at any time. Let me know in the comments if you have any questions about the MBE I could address in future videos!

I've made a few potato cannons over the years, and in this video I fire my favorite ammunition, VHS tape. The light, high-surface-area profile of the magnetic tape allows it to hang in the air for a long time, displaying the trail of the projectile you launched. It's really cool! In this case, the trail formed is the parabola of a "normal" flying object in Earth's gravity.

For the last few months I've been experimenting with ways to grow ice crystals, and while there's a lot to come on that front (Subscribe for the rest!), welcome to Episode 1: The Sound of Freezing!
This video is just a compilation of dendritic growth's greatest hits (at least everything I recorded, minus all the waiting for it to freeze part!) All of the clips I used in the main video in their full form (and a pitch-shifted version of the final clip so you can hear it!) Enjoy!

If you're anything like me, you'll love zoning out watching a computer play a very basic computer game for hours on end. Here's a half-hour game - the median from my best algorithm - played back at 30 fps.
