Even if you don’t have the essential appliances, it’s easy to cook at home. I mean, it’s one of the places you would surely find something edible in the first place. But what if you weren’t at home? What if you were in the middle of a war zone inside a Centurion tank? Despite the heavy equipment inside of it, there is a surprising lack of cooking apparatus inside this monstrous vehicle. So, how did a platoon of soldiers piloting a British main battle tank feed themselves? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QZdL8xJWRc&t=1s Stefan Karlsson, current director at the Arsenalen tank museum in Sweden and a former platoon commander on a Centurion tank, shared his…
Seeing that we’re in the midst of a pandemic, it isn’t that far-fetched to think that a nuclear holocaust might be the next thing for the human race. When nuclear missiles fall from the sky, it’s time to hunker down in your fallout shelter (You do have one, right?) and prepare for the worst. But what happens after the bombs have dropped? With nuclear fallout being the foreboding problem, Matthew Patrick of The Food Theorists decided to find out how a man can feed himself in a post-apocalyptic world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBeq_keMhmc There are two classifications of radiation: ionizing and non-ionizing. Ionizing radiation contains enough energy to remove the electrons from molecules…
Despite all the things you can make with it, LEGO is still made out of plastic. And plastic, on its own, isn’t very strong. Or is it? The Brick Experiment Channel has been putting LEGO pieces through the wringer for as long as it has existed. This time, however, they wanted to see if the Danish building toys can be used to break an aluminum beam. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uepSeO-ovlI The aluminum beam used for the experiment was a 15-hole, custom LEGO-compatible beam measuring 120 mm in length. Two-Motor System The first tests were done using a two-motor system with the aluminum beam placed between them. With 3.3 Nm of torque applied, the…
At first, I thought giant mallets only existed in cartoons and video games. As it turns out, they can be found in real life, as well. After finding an old one at a flea market for 25 Euros (roughly 30 USD), YouTube restorer TysyTube Resotration bought this giant wooden hammer and spent a week restoring it to its former smashing glory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F5Fa3ULxP0 After disassembling the hammer into its core components, he sandblasted the head and metal rings to prepare them for the restoration process. Repairing the Metal Rings The only non-wooden parts of this oversized weapon are the two metal rings on either side of the mallet head. TysyTube covered…
Despite what your parents might have told you when you were young, swearing can actually be a good thing! It relieves stress without having to resort to physical violence, allows you to get your point faster, and widens your vocabulary. What’s not to love?! But even with all these benefits, there are quite a number of people who are still sensitive to certain kinds of… colorful language. So how can you swear without offending the people around you? Why, make a censor button, of course! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hQvydvjaiM&ab_channel=AniZoneAniZone While most programmers nowadays use open-source software platforms like Arduino to produce the sound they need, Mehdi Sadaghdar would much rather use his guerrilla…
Minecraft is a simple game that anyone can play it: kids, adults, even people with disabilities. But for hardcore players, the game can also be a way to test one’s creativity. Not just within the confines of the game’s rules, but also with how one plays it. Since the game was too easy for him on a mouse and keyboard, YouTuber Seth Altobelli decided to repurpose a Bop It toy so it could be used on Minecraft. While he did the initial playthroughs, he’s planning on sending this modified Bop It to a fellow Minecraft player, Technoblade, so he can make videos with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tcWIUcAZyM Upon disassembling the Bop It,…
