I love string shooters because they behave so counterintuitively. I was able to get hold of this prototype and make a few modifications to try and explain why the string does what it does! #science #interestingfacts #sciencefacts
With a diffraction grating, you can do way more than turn a dot of laser light into a line or grid of dots. #funfacts #interestingfacts #diffractiongrating #sciencefacts

There’s a greedy cup siphon in your washing machine fabric softener try. Also called a Pythagorean cup. It’s also used in urinals and novelty drinking receptacles. It’s an example of a fluid dynamic mechanism. #sciencefacts #washingmachine #interestingfacts #science
Hand Sanitiser Fires Are Invisible – The thing that’s burning is ethanol. It burns very cleanly with no soot to glow. The gasses will glow a little, but it’s much harder to see the pale blue flame. #science #interestingfacts #ethanol #scienceexperiments #handsanitizer

I made a video about black holes and gravitational waves. Everyone wanted to know what would happen if the black holes went faster than the speed of light! Here’s your answer. #interestingfacts #science #blackholes #universe
Acoustic cameras have an array for microphones that are able to reproduce spatial information about sound. They even work in slow-mo, and echoes look amazing! #acousticcamera #camera #science #sciencefacts
