Primitive Technology: Brick and Charcoal Production
Adults ExperimentsIn this video I use the thatched hut to fire bricks and make charcoal in for the first time.
Primitive Technology: Roasted Ore and Shell Flux Smelt
Adults ExperimentsI tested 2 ways of improving iron smelts by treating the ore, roasting the ore and using snail shells as a flux. Then finally I recycled old slag to see if it would produce any more iron.

How to Make an Elephant Explode with Science - The Size of Life 2
Adults ExperimentsLife on this planet is based on cells. Cells do vary in size. But they are pretty similar in their dimensions across all species. A blue whale doesn't have bigger cells than a hummingbird, just a lot more of them.
Crazy Lake Experiment
Adults Experiments1 tablespoon of olive oil destroys half an acre of waves on this lake. What The Physics?!

Adults ExperimentsSolving a 5 yr old personal mystery about "Why Water Walks on Water".
Can Paper Cut Wood?
Adults ExperimentsThought I'd give this a try, just to see what would happen. Kind of gives a new meaning to thin kerf blade!
GoPro: Creating Fire Rain - A Steel Wool Experiment
Adults ExperimentsRob Nelson and Jonas Stenstom from Untamed Science take us through the process of using steel wool and long exposure to create a fire rain photo.
Can You Start a Fire with a Sandwich Bag?
Adults ExperimentsDid you know you can start a fire with a ziploc bag, a bit of water, and the power of the sun? Here's how to do it step-by-step.
Holding and Explosion at 20,000 fps
Adults ExperimentsI always thought firing from the center was the best way to do it. Turns out I'm probably wrong.
