Not every day you get to see the inside of a multi million dollar machine. This is the top end…

Phase differential microscopy is a technique employed to capture stunning images of crystals by leveraging the principles of phase contrast.…

What happens the moment lightning strikes water? I wanted to find out, so I set about building a setup that…

NOTE: I should be using the word diffraction and not interference in this video because it is only a single…

Here is a recent curiosity I had about what happens if you place a thermal measurement device in a high…

About 80,000 Volts and some magnets. The plasma makes for some interesting filimetns.

The lab had this donated, took a good while to reverse engineer how it worked and to build an interface…

This was an amazing donation to the lab, a working vacuum tube tesla coil in a commercial product! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihda-DlhcXs

I set out to build a Farnsworth-Hirsch-Meeks Fusor. This is a form of electrostatic accelerator, that does atomic fusion. First…

Took an artistic approach to the Atomic fusor project.

Ever wonder what a CPU looks like under a microscope? We happen to have a 700lb Zeiss Axiomat massive microscope…

Ever wonder what a Van De Graaff Generator is, or why you would want one?

Ever wonder how a lightning rod works, or why building have them? They may not work in the way you…

These are Plasma spectrum tubes. when you pass high frequency, high voltage power through the gas it will ionize and…

Molecular energy demonstration apparatus! This awesome demo, using a piston and ball bearings can visualize a micro event on a…

High frequency high voltage AC, and Nitrogen plasma, nothing to learn here, just playing with physics!

Stratified plasma ionization waves. a Goldstein–Wehner law proof. I did this morning. And what a cool thing to look at,…

Placed a meteorite sample in my Axiomat!

When 50,000 Volts meets water, you can capture some amazing photos. An otherworldly experience to be sure!

I needed a way to connected my DSLR camera to the old Zeiss Axiomat for better imaging. Here was the…

Here is what the data bits on a CD look like under extreme magnification. This was not an easy image…

What a project this has been so far! This project has combined worlds that were never meant to go together.…

our Huge 100+ year old 1.2 million volt 45,000 watt tesla coil at the science center. Here it is in…

At the point where high voltage meets water interesting things happen!

Oh the sound this makes! Is something to behold. To bad the main breaker could not take it for long!

An old exhibit I built on the spread of viruses, figured it is relevant in today’s atmosphere. We partnered with…

https://youtu.be/UanUgCoTPGY The lab now has an atomic clock! It took some work to get it working again.

What helium plasma looks like with some high voltage passed through it!

I wanted to see if solar flairs could be made here on earth in the lab, when you pass high…
