Corrections: 4:53 This isn't a fair comparison. Actually, if you changed the mass of the hanging masses in the experiment, it WOULD change the deflection angle. That's because the value of T in the equation would change. The torsion pendulum would oscillate more rapidly with lighter masses. Thanks James Gilbert.

The Finite Element Method/Analysis is an incredibly powerful way to model the real world. By discretizing a continuous medium you can accurately simulate the real world. Simulating a living organism like the heart is really challenging because you have to add things like electrical conductivity to your model. But perhaps more challenging is to bring together all the experts from different disciplines. But it has finally been achieved.

Orbital Resonance Works In A Really Strange Way

The big gap in Saturn's rings is caused by a moon much further out that has an orbital period double that of the gap! We've even found exoplanet systems with these patterns. They're all the result of orbital resonance. This video explains how that mechanism works.

(you can also go to http://1sm.me/a) 1 - you can cut ice with a blunt diamond because it is such a good conductor of heat 2 - The filament in an old fashioned incandescent light bulb is a helix of a helix - a meta helix! 3 - Some vampire bats mimic chicks so they can snuggle up to a hen's brood patch and drink her blood. 4 - The word "second", as in the length of time comes from the fact that it is the second time we subdivide the hour into smaller units. The first time being minutes. So why aren't minutes called firsts? 5 - Most owls have asymmetrical ears. It helps them to figure out the direction of its prey by sound. The asymmetry causes an interaural intensity difference that the owl can use to figure out the origin of sound in the vertical plane.

Shining a laser through a light bulb can reveal the structure of DNA

Get 2 months of Skillshare Premium for free at: https://skl.sh/stevemould5 Photo 51 is the famous image created by Rosalind Franklin and analysed by James Watson and Francis Crick. They used it to figure out the structure of DNA. It's an x-ray diffraction image. Meaning it's the diffraction pattern produced when you shine x-rays through DNA crystals. You can get almost the same pattern by shining laser light through the filament of an incandescent light bulb which shows the link between photo 51 and the helical structure of DNA.

Why almost all coal was made at the same time

b34al8YmQSA | 25 Oct 2019

Why almost all coal was made at the same time

You can donate to #teamtrees by going to https://teamtrees.org or click the donate button. 100% of the money you donate with the button goes to the Arbor Day Foundation who will be planting the trees. Most of the coal on earth was created during a single short period of geological history 300 million years ago. It's called the carboniferous period. Find out why coal production stopped so abruptly. CORRECTIONS So this video was quite rushed because I wanted to get it out in time for the #teamtrees launch. Here are a couple of things I got wrong: Not ALL coal was made during the carboniferous period. There exists some younger coal here and there that formed under rare conditions that enabled it in spite of the presence of capable fungi. I did film myself saying that but it was lost it my rushed edit. Photosynthesis is more complicated than I described. It involves water for a start. And it seems that the oxygen released during photosynthesis comes from the H₂O not the CO₂. Though I haven't be able to verify that. And here's a non-correction! The thing I was holding up at the start was not charcoal. It was a coal dust briquette. You could argue that the briquette was made recently but the coal it's made of is old! So yeah, the thrust of the video still stands but it's been a learning opportunity for me! A final thought on planting trees for carbon capture. A lot of comments saying "what's the point? When the trees die the decomposers will release the CO₂ back into the atmosphere. But really this is more about planting *forests*. In a forest, when a tree dies, another tree grows in its place recapturing the carbon. But also, it's my understanding that it takes a very long time to release the CO₂. Like hundreds of years. So in terms of tackling climate change which is a problem of human time scales, it's a useful endeavour.

Self organising steel balls explain metal heat treatment

Get 2 months of Skillshare Premium for free at: https://skl.sh/stevemould4 Metals have a crystal structure. But they're not one big crystal, they're lots of small crystals called grains. The size of the grains affects the physical properties of the metal, like hardness, toughness, strength, mailability, ductility, plasticity. Heating a metal can change the size of the grains. This ball bearing model demonstrates annealing. Ductility is dependent on how far dislocations are able to travel in the metal which is dictated by grain size.

Why the sex pilus is so dangerous - horizontal gene transfer

Horizontal gene transfer allows bacteria to swap genes, these speeds up the acquisition of new traits like antibiotic resistance. There are 3 main mechanisms: transduction, transformation and conjugation. But where are human pathogens picking up these genes? In our bodies? In rivers and oceans?

Why all solar panels are secretly LEDs (and all LEDs are secretly solar panels)

Why all solar panels are secretly LEDs (and all LEDs are secretly solar panels)

Part 2 - explainer video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGUteH93xNo LEDs and solar panels are both made of diodes. A diode is just designed to allow electricity to flow in one direction but because we make them out of semiconductors they can do all these other things.

Ultrasound gel does amazing things to sound waves

AzZ7DjS4ti4 | 17 Jan 2019

Ultrasound gel does amazing things to sound waves

I was curious about the purpose of ultrasound gel. It's really interesting so I built this wave machine to explain how it affects sound. Video produced in cooperation with Merck (https://www.youtube.com/user/merckgroup). Merck is known as Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany in the United States. Here's the link to Ode To The Future: https://curiosity.merckgroup.com/ode-to-the-future/?KO=StMo Animations by Dom Burgess. His brilliant channel, Every Think, is here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGI000V6ZIAQf97MNybAaLQ CORRECTION: when I calculate the efficiency of the ultrasound scanner without gel I come to a figure 1/10000%. But that would only be if there was a full on air gap. When pressed against the skin the situation is much less dire. The gel ensures a better acoustic coupling by preventing air gaps etc. Thanks to a couple of comments for pointing that out.

So I've collected 5 here into one video. * It's not really correct to say the wasp "wants" something. It's more accurate to say that the wasp has evolved traits that cause it to behave in certain ways. The same goes for the fig plant. It doesn't *want* to be pollinated. But this language of intent and desire is a useful shortcut when talking about evolved behaviour and traits. The vortex shedding animation was created by Cesareo de La Rosa Siqueira.

Mystery blue & white beads

This experiment demonstrates a few principles: density, solubility, miscibility, salting out, azeotropes, emulsion. The blue beads are regular Pony Beads. The white beads are actually UV reactive pony beads. It just so happens that the plastic they're made of is the right density.

Sand on a vibrating plate makes crazy patterns. Chladni.

When a square plate resonates you can see the pattern of the standing wave formed by adding sand or salt. The particles come to rest on those parts of the plate that are not moving. These parts are called nodes and the patterns are called Chladni patterns. http://blog.stevemould.com
