I was sent here for a science lesson but I was actually really interested in it. Great video!

[sunderpreetsaini]

Explained in a very impressive way. Keep it up sir.

[armannkill]

a very enjoyable video to watch all the demos were good helped me understand static electricity

[eclipse]

omg I flipped through tens of videos and finally I found some that worked tysm

[captaintarget]

Guy flies:Was it magic... no it was SCIENCE!!

[armannkill]

all the demos were fairly easy to understand and were enjoyable

[bhavnabohra]

THIS IS REALLY A VERY USEFUL VIDEO !!!

[armannkill]

it was really cool how he bent water to the balloon

[fleurdelacour]

Im suddenly thinking of the accio charm in harry potter, anybody else?👀👀👀
Great video anyway, thanks a bunch😄

[khguy]

Awesome video! It helped me out a bunch!

[priyafirodiya]

I learnt very much things for this video ...
Thanks

[OGKanyeWest]

imagine having this guy as your teacher

Good demonstrations of the triboelectric effect! However you don't seem to be properly addressing polarization in your video which is the explanation for why neutral objects (like the confetti) are attracted to charged objects.

Instead of rubbing, can I use DC power supply of 5 to 19volts attached to the plastic and make the shredded paper with a positive charge attract to the plastic bat?

One question plz I have an online presentation tomorrow. What kind of cloth did you use

[allinoneboy]

Whoa! Nice video sir! Static Electricity! I have heard this many times, But I didn't know what was it. So, when I saw your video I understood! Thank you sir!

[mwhitley]

thank you so much! this is super helpful

[gabrielharriott]

This was really fun and interesting to watch and I learned something that I didn't know

[alieujalloh]

thank you very much!! i can use this for my science fair

Wanted to build expansion Chambers that allow for a large initial burst(plasma) followed by particle repulsion down the length of the naucelle if we have a power supply large and safe enough to supply it. Direct static discharges with negatively charged induction coils to repel. Recycle and repeat. Static will require super insulators.
