Hey, it's me, Destin. I'm in Baltimore. [Mascot blows raspberries] [Destin laughs] Thanks. [Music]

So let's say you want to make yourself smarter on electronics, but you're not, uh... You're not really swoofed on that kinda stuff. Oh, looky here, it's the National Electronics Museum. Why don't we go have a look?

John McCarty is here. He's a volunteer at the museum. We have a demonstration for you to show you the relation between current flow and magnetism. So there's a magnet right here, on this side of this tube. We have a coil of wire hooked up to a galvanometer, basically, that's measuring amps. It's set up for DC amps.

So when we twist this, the magnet's gonna fall through the coil and you'll get current flow here. So you can see the current spike. So here's the question: when we turn it the other way, are we going to get positive current or negative current? So that's the question.

So if you think it's gonna be positive - if the needle's gonna go that way, click here. If you think the needle's gonna go that way, click here, and afterwards we'll get Mr. McCarty to explain it, so... Click now. [Music]

Can We Save These Rare Toads From Extinction? | National Geographic

[Music] The WNG toad is found only in the Laramy Plains of Wyoming. It’s found nowhere else in the world, and it has the maybe unfortunate distinction of being one of the most endangered amphibians in North America. I think it’s the most endangered amphib…

Safety Sealing a Jar of Smoke

Let’s make a fresh jar of smoke. The problem with old jars is their safety buttons are popped up. Everyone can tell they’ve been opened. But you can reverse this by sparking up some combustion. Dump the flame in the jar, and the flame will turn oxygen int…

Escape Competition Through Authenticity

This reminds me of your tweet about escaping competition through authenticity. It sounds like part of this is a search for who you are. It’s both a search and a recognition because sometimes when we search our egos, we want to be something that we aren’t.…
