  • Rocking the XKCD shirt :P

  • @sixtysymbols

    Another tip, don't use AC light sources with highspeed otherwise you'll record the flicker, use DC.

    A homemade LED lamp is cheap compared to studio lights and is much better, less power, less heat, very bright, no flicker.

  • @nuthenry2 ?

  • Would it go farther if the ring made out of copper or gold

  • science is so much fun XD hopefully they'll find FTL travel someday and it'll be even more fun!

  • Anyone else think it's a little silly to leave that expensive looking equipment sitting on the lab table right in the line of fire like that? Just me, maybe?

  • I'm glad they're are other Metal head Physicists like me out there.. It's good to know.. Stay metal man \m/

  • I want to do this with a superconductor...

  • Sounds like David Mitchell ^^

  • Oh my god, a fuse to limit the current going through that inductor... Come on, you guys can surely come up with a more elegant way of limiting the current...?

  • If I were you I would use a circuit breaker as opposed to fuses, it may cost a bit more to find one that will work for you but you will save money over buying fuses.

  • that was awesome
