I do live microwave filming as part of a stage show with Festival Of The Spoken Nerd. Our latest show is available on DVD, HD download and floppy disk: fotsn.com/ycpandvd

Turns out that my remade video is available; at least for the time being.

- fixable? (image of broken glass) - Oh

A note about using mesh screen vs. a perforated metal sheet as an attenuator: The woven nature of wire mesh results in what is effectively, a tiny resistor at each intersection of the wire mesh due to very small contact areas, and oxides on the surface of the wires. This results in ohmic heating and thus the hot spot as noted. Perforated metal doesn't have this problem.

Honestly the screenshot of the chat is all I want in a relationship or in life in general

This is the best explanation of a camera aperture I have ever seen!
-
I've built a digital camera but still had my mind blown with the aperture method. So cool!

Your wife's a champ. Love the "Oh." as a reaction to the shattered glass. :D At least you now have a separate microwave oven for experiments! ... At least I hope you got a new one for Lianne.

Steve Mould, Nile red and Codyslab. 3 of the best channels on youtube

What a fascinating way to explain how aperture works.. anyone who makes video should watch this.

I've found that physicists are very good at explaining how exactly things did go wrong, with no ability to predict them beforehand
-
thumbs up for slow mo guys research
-
2:49 that final "oh" it's poetry ahahah Lianne is an angel

I studied photography, but you still managed to give me an a-ha moment when you said 'it's more like a pinhole camera' when you closed down the aperture down. I've never heard that simple explanation before!
-
I have to say this is one of the best educational YouTube videos I've ever seen! (and I've seen a lot!) You touch on so many different topics, all of which are combined by a really cool theme, and the presentation of your explanations - the wording, the graphics, the humour, etc. - is sublime!

He is the only one capable of cutting and uncutting his hair in the same video..... a true god of science

2:55 instant haircut :)

The continuity on this vid hurts my brain 😂 good work as always though 👍
