	Antigravity 1: camera in a box (first crude test-video) > what is he doing to make it look like that? It's a small camera attached to the inside of a cardboard box. Then turn the box upside down. See the main project site: Antigravity Chamber amasci com/amateur/gravcam html (1 day ago)
	Antigravity 2: The Beaty-tchison Effect > is this real No, it's a parody. Read the text that's to the right of the above video. (You have to click on "more info" to see it all.) This is about the Hutchison antigravity videos, which look like they were filmed in a large upside-down box. Also see this one: youtube com/watch?v=3WyULc3jCgg (1 day ago)
	Simple generator > quick step-up transformer? Easy: add a thousand turns of wire to the generator! :) I made several tries but gave up. The AC frequency is too low. Now if the magnets could spin at a few thousand RPM, then maybe we could run transformers. A transformer needs to draw almost no current, which means the primary must have a huge inductance. Pounds and pounds of iron and wire, and worse at low AC frequency. Note that magnets make poor iron cores: they're stuck in full-magnetized mode. (2 days ago)
	> my magnets are slipping on the nail Mine slip a bit too, but I find I can spin it fast enough. Improvement: get a roll of double-side foam tape from stationery store, cut some 3/4" cardboard and tape squares, then stack them on the magnet on either side of the nail so the nail sits in a narrow slot. Adjust the amount of tape and cardboard so the gap between magnets is a bit smaller than the nail. Adjust it so it's hard to push the nail between the magnets when assembled. (2 days ago)
	Dry Ice: is it LETHALLY DANGEROUS? You'd need a CO2 fire extinguisher and a dry-ice maker from eBay. I've seen them for about $100 (4 days ago)

	Walkby1 \| July 04, 2008 Can you add me as a friend? thanks
	pkhamidar2com \| June 29, 2008 Could you do an experiment on what sound waves can do to different things, like can very strong sound waves disturb the spinning of dry ice, etc... Thank you. I just want to compliment, you are a very unique, in a good way, physicist.
	azile0 \| June 26, 2008 Hello there. I am interested in learning more about Physics. I am currently planning to put my major into Astrophysics, so any pre-tips/ lessons would be GREATLY appreciated! If you are inclined to, please respond.
	beninjamang \| June 21, 2008 You rock man! Seriously..thanks for the info!
