People bringing some of the most fancy memories to life is what technology is letting us do. A Youtuber in Taiwan brought back Goku (Anime character from Dragon Ball series) and the flying Nimbus to life on the streets of Taipei (Capital of Taiwan). Have a look at the video of how a hoverboard - 2 wheeled scooter was used.

The above video was inspired by another set of duo in New York who bought Disney's Aladdin's Flying Carpet to life on the streets of New York. Jesse Wellens (from Prank vs Prank) and Casey Neistat created the flying carpet concept using a motorized skate board.

The Sun in UHD 4K

Photo Courtesy to NASA

The Sun in Ultra High Definition - 4k Resolution (2160 pixel). NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) keeps an eye on our sun. In Space, the observatory captures 10 different wavelength of our sun, each of which help highlight a different temperature of the solar material. (Naturally just pointing the camera to the sun is just like pointing a camera to a bright light bulb). The amazing thing is that a team of media specialists worked ten hours to create one minute of the footage. The following video is for the people who are solar or sun enthusiast and want to get up close and personal with the sun and understand how the sun behaves, this is the video. Also for those people who want to test their Ultra HD TV or 4K TV can have an amazing experience seeing this on it. (CLICK HERE for the NASA website) By the way it is a 30 minute footage.

Actual size of the solar system

We have seen the solar system model during our studies in schools and colleges, visits to planetariums, movies and internet. Turns out they are not in exact scale size. So a team of people tried to make it to scale size but needed a large open area to make us understand the size of the planet and sun and the path of the planet around the sun. The chose the open desert area of Nevada (U.S.A).

The team uploaded the behind the scenes and also the hard work they put up together to create the video. For our own understanding, we have always been taught how big the planets are and how far things are from each other. But to see a scale version gives us the understanding of enormity of the solar system or better yet the universe.

I hope these videos can be shown in schools and colleges to give us a better understanding and make us feel that Physics is cool and easy to understand.

The Magnus Effect is the curving of a moving object due to a spin on the object generally a ball (WIKIPEDIA).

Chain Reaction / Domino Effect Honda and 3M Videos

The Honda Accord - the Cog commercial which was released around a decade ago, marked an entry into Chain reaction / Domino effects performed in an advertisement. That also without special effects. (The concept shown is known as Rube Goldberg Machine - It is a contraption, invention, device or apparatus that is deliberately over-engineered or overdone to perform a very simply task in a very complicated fashion, usually including a chain reaction CLICK HERE). The whole idea of the Ad was to show the insides of the car to the viewers (Approximately 140 parts of the car can be seen in the advertisement). Check the video below.

The above video was put up on Youtube which is in HD. Below is the video of how the above video was created and the amount of manpower it took. The whole video was done without any special effects, but definitely a lot of hard work goes into making it. Get that information below. The concept took months and the shooting was done in 4 days with over 600 takes.

The whole recap of the above commercial came into my mind as 3M people took out a similar kind of commercial recently. So first thing that came into the mind was the Honda - the cog commercial.

3M Brand Machine

The above concept was put together by 17 minds that took 25000 post-it, 10 gallons of paints, 200 pounds of steel and more than 1400 hours of manpower. They call it a truly inspiring machine. Check the video below to see what 3M brand Machine is all about and its truly inspired concept.

Nature is speaking

These videos are making the rounds of the social media like facebook, twitter etc... basically the internet. One of the videos which has picked up is of Julia Roberts voicing for Mother Nature. Actually there are a lot more videos by many others. Conservation International came up with the idea of 'Nature is speaking' series with the different/various elements of earth that are present in nature and assist in our day to day existence AND we human take it for granted. We need to be thankful and considerate.

The latest addition on this list is of the actor "Liam Neeson is ICE". He is famous for his roles in many movies but recently for his movie tri-series 'Taken'. (I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.) For full quote, CLICK HERE. I am guessing that Conservation International must have seen his speaking skills and decided to star him in their new element video 'ICE'. Check the video out below.

Cymatics: Science Vs. Music

Photo Courtesy to Nigel Standord

Cymatics by Nigel Stanford brings Science and Music together in this video. I have seen individual experiments done and one can find these videos on Youtube. Cymatic frequency that affect matter - be it salt, powdered material, tesla coils, water or even flames of fire. This video brings all of them together and creates its own rhythm. I came across this video on facebook first when a friend shared it.

The video can be viewed on HD or even 4K. All of the science experiments in the video are real. For the original video youtube link CLICK HERE. For Nigel Stanford's facebook page, CLICK HERE. Now watch the video below.
