Paul hewitt demos, using humor, inertia and physics pulling a tablecloth out from under a table full of plates and glasses and not moving or breaking anything.
The journey for creation of light bulb is shown on this video.
"This is a collection of experiments using a Van de Graaff generator.
The generator uses a belt and two rollers to build up a charge in the dome on top. The electrons will jump from the dome to reach a grounded object. Since like charges repel one another, objects placed on top of the dome will become charged and then be repelled.
This is the same machine sometimes used to make someone's hair stand up in classrooms or in science centers."

Oil is a very precious natural resource; this video shows how oil is stored in a trap formed by tectonics forces.
Pyrolytcs graphite is a diamagnetic material, which means that a magnetic field will be repelled by this material. Thus the magnet floats
A simple science trick you can do at home, using two rubber bands and a CRT TV screen. The TV screen works as a stroboscopic light, and when the frequency of rubber band is near the TV vertical frequency the rubber band seems to moving in slow motion.
"A single seed crystal was added to the saturated sodium Acetate solution while at 30C. Omnidirectional needle-like crystals radiated outward from the seed on contact at the solution's surface."

"This is a demonstration called the rubber band heat engine. As the name suggests, you take rubber bands, apply heat to them and they do work for you... just not terribly much of it. But its interesting nonetheless."

Using some sugar, NaOH, and KMnO4 is easy to prepare a rainbow juice. The KMnO4 is reducing and changing the flask color.
This is a very useful invention that can help a lot, this mechanism may save some fingers stopping immediately the saw.
The creator of machine will test the efficiency of his invention, the saw will stop? See for your self

Infra red light can be thought of as “heat”
The warmer something is, the more brightly it glows in the infrared.
Apiece of glass may be bright, but it is cool, so it will appear black in the infra red camera.
Even though a person may stand in shadows her body heat shines in the infrared.

Marshmallows contains air inside, the vacuum will reduce the inner pressure and make the air inside the marshmallows expand, thus the marshmallows grow up.
When we put a penny in a flask containing nitric acid a chemical reaction happens, liberating nitrogen dioxide as a gas.
"Warning: Do not attempt this reaction. The gases produced are dangerous and must be properly controlled and ventilated. Also, the concentrated nitric acid used can cause severe acid burns.
If you've been keeping up, you know that we already popped a small balloon, but our intention all along was to go big. After purchasing larger balloons, we did a test run... and it was still essentially a flop. In this experiment, we use a snazzy apparatus with dual layered balloons to combat the corrosive nature of the Nitrogen Dioxide gas (and it really is corrosive).
The liquid in the first flask is concentrated Nitric Acid. When we placed a number of pennies in the flask, the acid reacted with the copper and released the nitrogen dioxide. The blue color in the copper solution is due to the copper ions.
You will notice a sort of double pop, and that is due to our double balloon layer. Contrary to popular belief, it is not magic.
If you're observant, you will also notice just how corroded the popped balloons did get. And, if you can take your eyes away from the balloons and smoke, check out the blue acid solution boiling in the foreground.
The overall after hours reaction should be considered a success, and hopefully you will find our diligent and persistent work to be enjoyable :)"

Click here to see how a piece of glass can become a electrical conductor.
"A small glass tube, held by copper wire, is placed in series with a light bulb. The glass acts as an insulator at room temperature, meaning the current cannot flow between the copper wires. This leaves an open circuit and the light bulb does not light up. Touching a conductor across the copper wires (with a metal screwdriver for instance) does complete the circuit because it allows current to flow.
However, when glass is sufficiently heated by a torch it becomes an ionic conductor. Ionic bonds in the glass are broken, allowing the charge carrying ions to move freely. Thus, when the glass is melted the current can flow, which closes the circuit and lights the bulb.
