Comment on old style MIT lab presentations. They are SO slow

Optics: Fringe contrast – path difference | MIT Video Demonstrations in Lasers and Optics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZGnYe7BUms This is like those old serials – always ends with a cliff hanger. How irritating. Some good stuff, glad to see it. But wish he would not be so Socratic, and more measurement and data oriented. But this is a

Comment on Making Petrified Lightning – application to solar system colonization, global needs and new industries

TheBackyardScientist,  Making Petrified Lightning …with electricity? at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7YznIKe7bU 3D printing metal. You can use metal or glass powders, control the current, and randomly choose next points – probably run on Arduino. You have all the skills and stuff mostly. Maybe someone already suggested. You might invent a way for YouTube viewers to work together, combine

Contact Imaging Sensors, Linear CCD arrays for gravitational and magnetic imaging

Jean, I was trying at least two pathways: 1. Build circuits to read the analog signals from these linear sensors, and put the fastest and best ADCs to read and store the data. The focus on high precision measurement of the signals as a function of reference voltage. 2. Somehow learn to talk to these

Comment on plasma cutting video by Jason Michael Saunders, referring to 3D printed rockets

Comment on YouTube Jason, I watched this Genius of 3D Printed Rockets video the other day. They are using plasma discharge heating, but it is not very well controlled at all. They say “it works really precisely”, but it throws off heat and light and bits of wire, and fluctuates a lot. It only needs

Looking for low cost linear arrays of photosensors, maybe contact image sensor arrays

Jean, I want to find a contact image sensor CIS that has high dots per inch, large color depth (bits per pixel color) and fast speed (lines per second). I need three of them, and don’t know where to buy the parts. I just started looking and found that the mobile document scanners (Brother) seem

Comment on video to measure wavelength of sound and apply reasoning

Waterloo Double Slit 1 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acgb5uP4CBM David, I think it would help viewers if you draw a wave on a transparency and overlay it onto another wave to show what is happening. Put two arbitrary time series and look where they match or do not as the time difference changes. Put a time series made

Comment on Optical fiber coupling to photonics chip

Optical fiber coupling to photonics chip by Wojciech Lewoczko-Adamczyk at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHcfemtfP2s Suggest you use the whole screen for the graphs, equations, diagrams. It is too small to read easily and I do not need to see your face while you are looking at the screen. Such are called “screen videos”, where you and the viewer

Question for Houston Astronomical Society and anyone else on the Internet

https://www.facebook.com/groups/AstronomyHouston Can you suggest a program to take two images from different cameras, combine and compare them? I am too tired to write more programs. Just wanted to look at some pictures I found on the web and see how the fit together. They are the same part of the sky, but different rotations, different

Comment on Aerodynamic Center and Center of Pressure

Alexander, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67eTLeNwLgE You are using what looks like to be a good computer tool for these calculations and visualizations. But you don’t explain your tools and give links to let others know what to use, or what you recommend. I watched your hysteresis video. It is really shaky and hard to watch. You could use
