I was having issues with YouTube not processing an uploaded video, so I shot this short test video. It's a menthol crystal being placed on a heater and quickly turning into extreme menthol va...

I'm not sure of the best title for this video. It's a toss up between the existing "Drunken history of theatrical fog effects" and the title above.
Sorry. I'll try to put more space between ioniser videos in future. This video was caused by much thinking about the current situation and how ionisers were tested in schools and hospit...

It sounds rude, but these are actually an interesting thing for joining cables in emergency situations.

I think the general opinion on the thermal video is that it's the wrong time to release it.
If I'd released it a month ago it would have been f...
2020-03-23 19:33:50 +0000 UTC View PostAlthough I re-uploaded the thermal camera video I didn't release it for general viewing.

For those who wanted to see the thermal camera video I've uploaded it again, but made the title and description vague so it has no real context to the current situation.
I knew when I put it up that it would attract extreme views, especially by the doom mongers.
The point of the video was that you could detect a significant thermal difference within a group o...

2020-03-22 00:05:52 +0000 UTC View PostAs many of you pointed out, the first version of this video I recorded (Deep Heat) was better because it was more fluid even if the resultant toilet paper wasn't. In hindsight I could have re...

This was the first version of the spoof toilet paper energisation video that didn't turn out quite as planned when the deep heat failed to melt and fuse through the toilet roll properly.
Since toilet paper is so fashionable right now (yeah, they've cleared the shelves of it here too) I thought I'd make a spoof video showing how to make vaporub sterilising toilet paper.
I'm thinking of doing a spontaneous unplanned live stream in about 1 hour and 30 minutes from posting this. (Midnight here in the UK).
I'm not going to publicise it elsewhere though to ...

So many to choose from, each with its own problems, but this one just simply fires most of the light well above your field of view.
The aqua version of the strontium aluminate glow in the dark pigment seems to release light much slower than the green stuff. This means it looks a lot dimmer, but glows for much longer.

This is another of those items that is functional as supplied, but completely hackable to change the driver, colour and focal length, either for fun or to fit an application.
For better or worse I'm giving LBRY a go on the recommendation of other electronic YouTubers. At the very least it's a way to have an automatic backup of most of my existing videos in a...

I actually installed this on an outside wall and hooked it into the outside lighting in the middle of this video. (I didn't record that though.) It's now on test.
I've looked at quite a few LED head torches, but this one has such good functionality for the low price that it's almost (but not quite) perfect.
Although the coronavirus has been blown out of proportion by the media in their usual way, I thought it would still be interesting to make a video about simple DIY hand sanitisers.
I'm not sure what to make of this. The implied purpose is to help you relax and meditate, but it's anything but relaxing.
If all goes to plan we'll be doing a live stream from Juan's place on Monday the 2nd March around 9.00pm (21:00) UK time.
