What did you guys think of this joint video we did with the Ontario Science Centre!? I grew up going there, and it's where I started learning about science and engineering as a kid!

Have you guys ever been!? What was your favorite experiment there?

[rehfuss]

Russel looks like such a stereotypical mad scientist in cartoon, lovin it!

[liledg]

"and may the forces be with you" i'm dead

[AnakinSkyobiliviator]

Strange that when Russel said "may the forces be with you" the first thing that came to my head was the "I find your lack of faith disturbing" scene.

[KaranvirT]

I love how it was actually more like 2 and a half 'Sixty Seconds of Science'

[wecirclethesky]

Dude the 60s of science is a great idea! You should keep doing these, I hope they take off!

[lawrencemorris]

this is one of those very rare entertainment videos that actually helped me as an E.I.T. thank you.

Magnetic dipoles fall off as 1/r^3. Only magnetic monopoles fall of as 1/r^2. Because you are farther away than the distance between the poles of the magnets, it's the dipole that's relevant.

Keep refreshing your feed until a video pops up squad!!! where you at???

[dylanlollar]

Haha, finally a YouTube collab with a company I know! I love the science center, it was my favorite place to go to as a kid. Great video guys!

[mr_serious]

YES!! SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATIONS!! I love videos like this

[musclepower]

like I said it all comes back to the arc reactor .... but anything is possible with the hacksmith

[smokeyjoe]

Not to mention that if you have a strong enough electromagnet to attract a zonking great shield from a few yards away in a battlefield while surrounded by smaller, and more importantly sharper, metal fragments and shrapnel . . . you will probably find yourself rather perforated before the shield returns to you.

[alanfoxman]

Of course if we're assuming the Stark Arc Reactor is powering Cap's electromagnet, we can also assume that the wiring is made of vibranium so it wouldnt melt. :)

[electronicsNmore]

You look very clean cut with your haircut. :-)

[mikeysmotionmovies]

i never realized you used a shin guard for the base of it, god i love canadians

[didleydudley]

I want more of those Videos! Props <3

[ramonabdyo]

I literally laughed so hard while watching this😂

[gluglamana]

Our FRC team demonstrated that years robot a while back. Fun place, great people

[DixBr]

Great video and concept!! But I think the professor should talk more! But live the video, hope you make more on more things!
