What’s the pattern on the covered-up node?
(Bonus question, what’s the video going to be about?)

Calling all viewers in the Raleigh area!
The FIRST Robotics team I mentor with is in full recruitment mode, and the veteran students have organized a bunch of one-day workshops at the team’s build space for 8th and 9th graders looking to get involved!

If you are an 8th-high school student, or if you know one who would enjoy any part of mechanical engineering, electronics, programming, graphic design, business organization (the list goes on), please reach out on the site! There’s a big “sign up here” link for the workshops, as well as contact links for the student lead and the lead mentor if you have more questions.

If you’re curious about FIRST in general, here’s a video I made a couple years ago! I was on an FRC team all through high school and it was an amazing experience I can’t over-recommend  https://youtu.be/BycqWYE3Ais

The 45 minute ink tube cut is here! I sat through it -I mean witnessed it- live to fiddle with the ink valve and yes, it's better than a lava lamp.

I got it on the second try… First time the camera overheated after 40 minutes of continuous filming in a hot garage - the second time I used a leaf blower for the last 10 minutes and that camera stayed COOL. This was also the first use of my homebuilt camera slider in a VERY long time… I think I took it when I moved to California for grad school and I'm not sure I used it once while I lived out there. That's a deep cut of a video if anybody wants to go find it lol.

If you haven't seen the original ink tube video yet, it's here!

10 internet points for anybody who guesses what this is supposed to demonstrate in the next-next video! (If I can get it to work)
It’ll probably only be on screen for like 20 seconds lol - these things get out of hand quickly

[The actual NEXT video will probably be announced and released on Patreon sometime this week or next]

Theoretically, if I had one of those industrial e-beam irradiators in my pantry, could I finally save all the food that I leave out on the counter overnight after cooking and then falling asleep on the couch?

Just posted the very first Q&A video on the second channel! I want to publish one of these after every "main" video on this channel (and next time it won't take multiple months), so let me know what you think of the format!

also at popular request, I changed the second channel's logo - enjoy =D

Yo everyone! I just wrapped up the next video (It's another electricity one :) ).

This video is going to come along with a lot of content on the second channel dealing with impedance in wires, and the more mathy parts that got cut from the main video. That means this one may live on Patreon for more than a week this time, but rest assured, it'll be here *soon*!

Bonus internet points for anybody that remembers the correct xkcd for the parenthetical emoji problem cause I just looked and couldn't find it...
