Here’s a feature of screwdrivers that you might not have been aware of! #science #interestingfacts #didyouknow
Space filling curves are fractals that are one dimensional but they fill 2 dimensional (or 3dimesional space). And you know I can’t resist making 2D transparent versions of things. #science #interestingfacts #didyouknow
I play with a touch microscope! Can you guess all of the objects? #Microscope #TouchMicroscope #Science
I noticed that when I obstruct a laminar flow of water I get these ripples forming upstream like a standing wave. Here’s my attempt to capture them on film and to explain them. It might have something to do with Rayleigh-Plateau instability. #science #interestingfacts #didyouknow
Chimney fins are weird. #interestingfacts #randomfacts #didyouknow
This is how an Ames room works! #interestingfacts #science #didyouknow

Caustic lenses are really weird #science #sciencefacts #didyouknow
These objects are so confusing… #science #interestingfacts #didyouknow

Some things we’ll never know about dinosaurs, so why not have fun in our speculations? #dinosaur #paleontology #funfacts
Steam explosion are quite rare, but they do happen when bubbles are introduced into superheated- heated beyond their boiling point without boiling. It can be dangerous so do be careful if you ever noticed your water not boiling when it should! #science #interestingfact
Watch what happens when I give this rotor a spin. #science #interestingfacts #didyouknow
A saddle point is a point that is concave and convex at the same time, so what’s it like to look into a mirror like that? #science #interestingfacts #sciencefacts #didyouknow
Spools can behave in counter intuitive ways. The puzzle get’s even weirder in the limit as the spool gets full, and then goes beyond full! #science #interestingfacts #didyouknow
The object we thought was impossible – Steffen’s polyhedron is a flexible concave polyhedron. Euler thought such a shape was impossible. I also show infinitesimally flexible polyhedrons and bistable polyhedrons. #science #interestingfacts #didyouknow
