Nowadays, stick vacuums are getting as powerful as the other bigger vacuum models. And while most stick vacuums come in a cordless design, some can now last for more than 100 minutes and that is more than what you need. One good example is the Tineco Pure ONE S12 Plus with 2 removable batteries. The runtime,
A steam iron, as its name implies, is the amalgamation of a clothes iron and a garment steamer. This can make the removal of wrinkles in fabrics easier, faster, and more effective.If you are looking for one, there are lots of choices now in the market. And when considering a unit, the first thing you
You may have heard it before: the metronome-like beat that progresses to a rapid, thumping sound that instinctively calls for rapid movement. This beat, which is used in Billie Eilish’s 2019 hit “Bad Guy”, is that of the Australian pedestrian crossing. Besides that sound, however, what makes this particular pedestrian crossing stand out globally? To find out, Julian O’Shea took a deep dive into the history and design of this simple and often overlooked part of Australian society. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwbNFRbqwfg&ab_channel=JulianO%27Shea Created in 1976 by Louis Challis (regarded as Australia’s leading acoustical engineer) and his associates, the button was the product of the country’s search to find a crosswalk system that could…
You know what I love about internet videos? You can witness people try stupid and dangerous things through the complete safety and comfort of your computer. Case in point: dangerous microwave experiments. Recently, Mehdi Sadaghdar of YouTube channel ElectroBOOM did us all a service and caught on camera the result of microwaving metal. The answers may be less surprising than you think! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyTmJX_TC84&ab_channel=ElectroBOOM Contrary to popular belief, popping any sort of cutlery into the microwave isn’t dangerous at all! Mehdi tried multiple variations and orientations of spoons, knives, and forks. The result? None of them caught a single spark or flame. They got heated, that’s for sure, but so does…
To get you ready for the spooky festive season, YouTuber The Q has thought of a way to quadruple your Halloween costume points. How? By creating four skeleton doppelgangers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5dq8-4wUI8&ab_channel=TheQ Making the Skeletal Framework Making the bodies of the skeletons requires a bunch of PVC pipes, some pipe fittings, and a few hooks. Cut the pipes using your body measurements as a basis, so the skeletons could have the same body dimensions as yours. Connect these pipes using the fittings until you have yourself 4 identical rib cages. Arms, Legs, and Appendages To get your skeletons to move, you’ll need some hooks placed on the edges of the upper and…
Some might say that 3D printers are just for printing things. Well, Steven from 3D Printer Academy found another use for his own unit: simulating an actual earthquake. Using the ground motion data of the 6.7 magnitude Northridge earthquake which occurred on January 17, 1994 in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, he was able to recreate the exact motions of the quake on his 3D printer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzvmHa8yw7o&ab_channel=3DPrinterAcademy Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper earthquake simulation without any damage. So to help with his mini-quake demonstration, he employed the use of some magnetic supports, a couple of 3D printed platforms and bricks, and a single LEGO mini-figure. His…
