I get something new out of every video on this channel. Those Tesla coil discharges looked incredible in slow motion with the Schlieren setup. I've never seen anything like that combination before.

-that's because every video is different -that's why he set up the tesla coil and the schlieren imager and made a video about it

This is mind-blowing science. The way he approached to these things is also mind-blowing.

Would be interesting to use a really high speed camera - can't do this with normal tesla coil photography, but with the Schlieren system you can use as much light as you need for the HS cam

Thankyou for a fantastic explanation of schlieren imaging, and always showing us crazy and interesting stuff all the time! :) Unrelated, a random psychological glitch occurred to me here, as I had to keep rewinding at the start of the parabolic mirror bit because I kept zoning out, until I realised why (aside from being tired), which was that it looked like the moon from lying on one's back and falling asleep, with that last smaller glint before you phaze out, and my brain just went with it 3 times in a row, and now I'm thinking to put a big glow-in-the-dark moon on my ceiling because I can't usually sleep very easily! Not trying to say your video sent me to sleep, but had to share this realisation, out of intrigue and for others' utility, and thought you might find it funny! :)

Did he explain it? I still don't get, why you suddenly can see the different air densities. Is it, because some of the bend light is cut off? Edit: nevermind. I missed the explanation, on the first viewing

I really thought this was going to be boring 😴 but it was amazing instead. Nice job.

Your visual representations of phenomena we normally wouldn't be able to see are amazing! You are really talented in what you do.

I like how happy he is all the time when showing an experiment. The passion in his voice👌

Wow. Just wow. You make understanding the Schlieren setup so easy. And then the Tesla coil slow motion shots blow it out of the water. Your skills of teaching science are beyond me.

Your videos are getting better and better. They were very good some time ago but now they are even better! I hope you will not burn out this way! Thank you for all your effort and content!

This wins. This is the coolest demo I've seen you do. Incredible. For some reason it helps me understand more intuitively the concept of mass warping spacetime as an analogy even though the two have nothing actually related.

This is probably coolest application I've seen with Schlieren imaging

This is so cool. The science itself is fascinating, and the video production (writing, shooting, editing, narrating) is just so engaging and keeps it fun. I really dig these and I can't wait to show this to friends/family in the future. Please keep doing this, you rock!!!

The fact that to show these kind of experiments you line up your cameras and its tons of settings in the best possible way as possible and share it to viewers, which is also a kind of experiment. I only can say that this is fking amazing.

I really appreciate all of your videos. Thank you.

Awesome experiment. Plasma blasts were huge. Ecoflow was amazing. Thanks for the video brother.

How cool it is when my favorite KZreadrs interacting to each other, Plasma Channel & The Action Lab

This is probably one of my favorite videos you've done.

Thank you for making this video! I love your channel. It makes me feel the universe is so amazing! And I like the eco flow too! Good for our environment.

Certainly one of your most spectacular videos!

I'm just glad someone thought to do this (and in slow mo). Have wondered this a long time.

This guy magicall. Low-key having his as a teacher can make ur day the best ahah

That background music in 4:04 is like a fighting music I really got energic because of it

Finally! I have everything I need to replicate this. I've had these mirrors for years and years

Very very nice. I imagine that setting up the experiment involved some very precise/delicate steps. PS: I like the sound of the Tesla Coil, it sounds to me like an Irish a step-dancer :).

Really cool! I’d want to see those mini-explosions forming in slowmo!

This is very cool. Could this be used to visualize a standing sound wave?

Reminds me of in school watching Bunsen burners in between projectors and screens, it was interesting watching the shadows casted

This channel blows my mind!

This. Was. AWESOME!!!

Amazing! I wanna try it :) Please try add sound speaker and tone generator 🙏

this is actually so cool

wow so awesome, l loved the explosions and cool generator

This is cool, I want to try this photography technique.

Great idea!

you make the best videos

That's awesome. Great idea to try that.

I feel that the eco flow generator would be great for an experiment video on its own. What makes it so efficient etc?

I hope you did the Tesla coil test in an anacoic chamber to block the EF interference. Very good video.

You should make a camera obscura. I made my room into one a few years back and it was really cool

Cool project

Can you make a video of how the Schlieren setup works. I think I understand it, but not sure if I am on the right track.

I vote action lab for Nobel prize teaching

so cool!

The light, mirror, and razor blade are very reminiscent of the Foucault tester my father made to use while he was making telescope mirrors.

that ecoflow thing is kinda nice.

I have an idea for a video! Have you heard about a star in a buble using Sonoluminescence? I think it is a good challenge for a scientist like you. I'm a big fan i watch your videos constantly btw. Keep up the good job! Cheers!

Just gonna say”cool” the plasma part was awesome

This was cool. It reminds me of a rendered bump map. I wonder if one can find the direction of the light relative to the mirror?

James is the archetypal nerd, and boy is he impressive !!

Tesla is my inspiration

Dudes in Mexico have made Tesla coils that pull energy from the aether. Figure it out and show the world free energy instead of helping people pleasantly waste time! Free energy is real!!!

You gotta partner up with Slomo guys and do a collab! Get some really high quality slowmotion of a bunch of science ideas like this!

Thanks for the video! Now I know that I have “seen thunder” not just bungled my English

Hello, can you try to catch a shockwawe from little explosion or very loud sound with your parabolic mirror? Your experiment are great. 👍🎉

How are we seeing the full image if half of it is being blocked by the razor blade? Diffraction?

Tesla coil: a bit over the top of my head Schlieren imaging: a bit over the top of my head The Action Lab: ^^ in 4 minutes, don't fret

I would love to see a shot of a jacobs ladder

Man, we are on the same wavelength! Just a week ago I said I wanted to do this with my Dual-mirror Schlieren setup, and I have almost the same Tesla coil. Great minds think alike. Ecoflow is awesome BTW. I sell solar power and for the life of me, I can't figure out why so many people want to spend the money they save on solar, to get an expensive battery backup that adds no ROI.

KEEP IT UP

Can you do the double slit experiment, but make the apparatus out of vanta black, or something that significantly absorbs light? I'm curious about that experiment when reflection is minimized Love your channel

You have to "charge" a "generator"? So what is it really, a generator or a power bank?

@JCWren

2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. It irritates me to hear these called "generators". We've had them for YEARS, and they're called Uninterruptible Power Supplies. These things have their place, but I'll take my Generac whole-house propane generator or a noisy gas generator any day. Why? What happens when the battery bank runs out of power during a power outage? Going to plug it in to recharge it? Oh wait... But what about solar charging? The majority of power outages occur as a result of storms. And that solar charger doesn't work so well in the rain. So these Ecoflow type things are good for camping and short-term power tool usage on a job site, but they're no replacement for a proper fossil fuel powered generator. They're also expensive as get-out, and I expect the batteries will fail before your gas generator does.

@michelfug

Doesn't the same argument hold for fuel powered generators? You need them to "fuel up", and it doesn't generate anything, it just converts. It converts chemical potential energy into electrical energy. Much like a battery in it's own way. I see your point that the promoted product is nothing like a traditional fuel powered generator, but calling it a power bank or battery also doesn't quite cut it IMO.

slow-mo guys need to do a take on this!

Can you make a video on how will our space look like when fully emptied!!! Plz make a video on it

Playing with Schlieren photography is so much fun, but I did it with a cheap make-up mirror, so mine had double lines and were not that clean.

WOW, so you could see sound from speakers with this?

Change (increase) the *shutter speed* not the frame rate. Quite different. (But yes, great channel--always great content!) You could also drop the ISO.
