Physics videos on the net

March 8, 2010 by dberenstein

There are fun videos of physics in the net. I occasionally look for them for my class, but my results tend to be random. A reasonably good list can be found on a website that specializes on Online education here.

Their list includes one of my favorite demos, which I performed in class this year as well: The Ruben’s tube. It is very cool to do and to watch as well. After I worked it the students clapped. Of course, there was also the time I played the guitar to show harmonics, and the time that a superconductor had issues with going to zero resistance after cooling during class.

    The associate dean says I can’t do this one. Something about the fire codes.

    It took me a little while to find this, but I think you could call it a Ruben’s tube on steroids
