The Painful Magic of High Voltage Levitation

And keep in mind, you have to be extremely careful with electricity.

Induction heating

A method of non-contact heating with high frequency and high magnitude currents of electrically conductive materials.

In order to blow out plastic containers, you need a compressor. It is the compressor that generates the pressure by which the air jet is delivered.

The piston pump

When the piston moves upward, the liquid under atmospheric pressure enters the tube, lifts the bottom valve and moves behind the piston.

When the piston moves downward, the liquid under the piston presses on the bottom valve and it closes.
At the same time, the pressure of the fluid opens the valve inside the piston, and this fluid moves into the space above the piston.

When the volume level gets above 155-160 dB, the car starts shaking and almost bursting with vibration. At low frequencies, the windows burst.

Levitating pots with houseplants

The levitation effect is realized with the help of magnets in the planter and the stand.

In fact, it is an optical illusion.

In this video, the frame rate of the camera unit coincides with the rotation frequency of the helicopter blades. That is why it appears that the blades are not rotating.

AGI Could Arrive by 2030 — and End Us? ☕️

Google DeepMind warns that human-level AI, or AGI, could emerge by 2030 and might pose man existential threat

CEO Demis Hassabis and cofounder Shane Legg say:

such systems could cause “severe harm,” even human extinction

Their 145-page paper outlines risks like misuse, design flaws, and competing interests. It also criticizes OpenAI and Anthropic for their safety strategies

Experts remain divided — some fear AGI could rapidly surpass human control, while others say it’s too vaguely defined to assess

The timeline? DeepMind says 2030. Others say even sooner. Either way, the clock’s ticking ⏰

Am-241 in the Wilson chamber

When americium nuclei decay, they eject a high-speed chunk of protons and neutrons (2 each) called alpha particles.

Which then travels through the air, creating a trail of ions, bouncing electrons off any neighboring molecules it passes by.
