Learn how to make an electromagnet using a battery, a nail, a wire, and some paperclips.

Learn how to use some acids to melt a plastic doll in a jar.

A demonstration of the explosive potential of even a small amount of acetylene mixed with the right amount of oxygen. Watch to learn how to do this yourself. Make sure to wear goggles and stand at a safe distance when making your own acetylene explosion.

A chemical demonstration of the synthesis of nylon using different chemical solutions.

Want to stop being dependent on foreign oil? Want to help create a healthier Earth? Separate hydrogen and water for a cleaner and more efficient fuel source.

Learn how to use household items to make a pulse jet engine that really works out of a jam jar. Pay attention to safety because the jam jar may explode when you make your pulse jet engine.

Watch to learn how to make thermite, a compound used to weld railroad tracks together, out of magnesium, iron oxide, and aluminum powder,

Learn how to make nitrogen triiodide (NI3), the main ingredient of the small, paper-covered parcels that you throw at the ground to make a snapping noise, with household chemicals and items. This chemical is very unstable, so please exercise caution.

Watch to see a demonstration of how a nuclear reaction works using a matrix of ping-pong balls set on top of mouse traps at a Physics show at the University of Bonn.

Learn how to light some hydrogen oxygen gas in the top of a milk jug with some aquarium hose run to it in order to create a small bolt of lightning.

Watch this chemistry demo of the oxidation of iron and learn how to perform this experiment yourself.

Learn how to perform this Valentine's Day-themed experiment, a variation on the basic Jacob's Ladder experiment. Fire is involved, so be safe.

If you connect either cable of an extension cord to two forks and insert those forks onto either end of a pickle, then plug that extension cord into an outlet, the pickle will glow like the 4th of July.

Learn how to turn cotton balls into smokeless gunpowder with high school chemistry teacher Chris Schrempp.

Make plasma with a light bulb. All you need is a microwave.

Learn how to make iodine with readily available materials with Phil Torrone in order to avoid being on the DEA's list.

Derek's 5th Grade Science Experiment. Will eggs float better on salt water or regular fresh water.

In this simple kitchen science experiment, you'll see how to make your very own, cool, lava lamp.

Have you ever wanted to use a Tesla coil to draw a fixed arc on a two liter plastic soda bottle? Who hasn't? Well, see how to do it, right here!

How to make "hot ice" out of saturated sodium acetate solution.

The Tesla CD Turbine is a little homemade turbine made from CD's, CD spindle, supermagnets, and glue. It runs on faucet water pressure.

Balls go flying as MrfixitRick attempts to show how certain conditions cause a magnetic ball to reverse its direction, mysteriously revolving backwards to the rotating magnets of the CD Turbine.

The Tesla CD Turbine (the little turbine made from recycled CD's and magnets) is used as a magnetic test bed for this SinkScience experiment. Here, six 3/16 inch diameter neodymium ball magnets are placed in a plastic bowl above the CD Turbine.

Use the Tesla CD Turbine running off tap water-pressure as an experimental testbed.

MrfixitRick demonstrates the Shake Flashlight Shaker, as it generates electric power out of faucet water pressure. A Tesla CD Turbine is used to convert the kinetic energy of water into rotation. Then, a connecting rod and magnets charges the built-in battery of the shake flashlight.

The Tesla CD Turbine Blender Attachment is a SinkScience test of the new Kitchen Edition of the CD Turbine mated to a recycled blender from the Thrift Store. The CD Turbine, made with recycled CD's and neodymium magnets, is running only on faucet water-pressure power.

MrfixitRick and his assistant Rowan try four "Will It Spin?" experiments in an attempt to see if different objects spin with the rotating magnetic field of the Tesla CD Turbine.

This is the first live action run of the Tesla CD Turbine II with simple hi-speed CD Disc Pack. This particular model of the CD Turbine has no magnets, as well as no shafts, no bearings, no seals and no blades.

See how to align the finderscope with the primary optics in this brief tutorial on your telescope. Watch this Amateur Astronomy for Beginners - Telescope Finderscopes.

This video gives you some advice for beginning your hobby in amateur astronomy and how to use a planisphere and a pair of binoculars in this Amateur Astronomy for Beginners - Planisphere and Binoculars.

Here, you'll see the use of red light to preserve your night vision, in Amateur Astronomy for Beginners - Red Light. Bright lights could make it harder for you to see those stars, so use red light, because the rods in your eyes can take it better.

Learn the basic information on eyepieces for your telescope, so you can gaze at the stars correctly in Amateur Astronomy for Beginners - Eyepieces. Learn the difference between low, medium, and high power eyepieces.

Here is an educational video for ART (Advanced Robotic Technology) Plasma customers. The HDP Plasma SX Profile Cutter is designed for heavy duty manufacturing environments where power, precision, speed, quality low cost, productivity, and durability are demanded by business owners. See in these sixteen videos how it works, from the inside out, and another video on what it actually is.

Dr. Kiki explores the inner workings of microscopes while our Magic Creator, Moujan Z, remixes empty Altoid cans into a cool and useful container, Sarah makes you a a Muxtape, and Heather goes fencing - all on PopSiren!

My name is Ruben Garcia and I'm a meteorite hunter. These videos are of a two day meteorite hunt. Just me and my video camera out in the wilderness!

Learn how to etch an iron meteorite to reveal its hidden crystalline structure. This guy is specifically etching a Campo Del Cielo meteorite. Why? So you can see how to do it yourself.
