Frickin' LASER BEAM Shark Science

Clearly, Mr. Hill, you're in deep now. (grunting)(crinkling) As you can see, I've recently upgraded my lovelies, my sharks now have fricking laser beams attached to their heads. - You'll never get away with this, Man Bun! I'll make sure... Wait, what kind of lasers are you using for those sharks? Because, you know,depending on what you use it could make a big difference. - Well, I guess I didn't really think about that. I just thought that you would have some-- - Let's get technical. - Hey, no, I'm the one with the man bun here, I'm in charge, wait! (funky electronic music)(beeping) (grunting)(snapping) - Ever since a one Dr.Evil came up with the idea in the first "Austin Powers" film, sharks with fricking laser beams attached to their heads have become a classic super villain scheme. This is a ridiculous scheme, sure, but if we were super villains,which we're not, how would you go about making laser-sharks a reality? What kind of b...

Where is a Starfish's Butt?

I read a tweet and it really got me thinking about animals revolting. It's from Lawrence Ward who says, "The population "of Scotland is around 5.25 million and there are million cats in the world so if every cat decided to invade Scotland, each Scot would have tonight off around 114 cats and I don't think they could pull it off." (laughs) I don't think I could fight 114 cats and survive. Have you ever had to tangle with an angry cat that still had its claws? I have. And lemme tell you, gonna need a lot of the foamy liquid that you put on your cuts. Hydrogen peroxide. If cats revolt, much like the population of small wild animals inane area where there's a large domestic cat population, we'd get destroyed. Your cats a murderer. (whimsical music) Hello, and welcome to"Footnotes", the companion show to "Because Science" where I take all of your comments, questions, and corrections and then I bombard you with cats.

The Science and Technology of Tomorrow

Today the majority of our energy comes from fossil fuels we find beneath the earth in the form of cool natural gas and oil We've seen a rise in renewable energy, but fossil fuels are still the main source and without them the economy would collapse But these are going to become harder and harder to find and extract in the efficient way Which way I'll turn the forms of energy are going to take over Solar is one alternative That's becoming more and more popular although it is more expensive to get power from solar energy Currently the cost of fossil fuels is going to rise and the cost of solar is falling once equilibrium is met market forces will do the rest and note that solar cells are actually not that efficient so to engineering options are to make them more efficient or Reduce the cost to make and install these in bulk these are two directions that research has gone Wind is another popular form of energy.  But it will not be what supplies the bulk of energy for...

How Do Touchscreens Work?

How do Touchscreens work? What enabled smartphones to dominate as a technology- to be so prolific and critical to our lives that I I would rather lose my car keys or wallet than my smartphone. The answer to this question isn’t a simple one liner, but rather it's a combination of answers, app development, wireless internet, carrier networks, Steve Jobs’ brilliant marketing, tho I would argue the most important contributor was the seamless combination of different functions and technologies into a single package. In this episode we're going to explore the most distinctive feature of the smartphone’s merging of technologies- the touchscreen display. There are three technologies within the touchscreen display These technologies are combined all on top of every other. When you felt and used a smartphone for the first time, you just knew that you were holding something revolutionary – something different from all previous phones. These… were not new technologies. Many devices...

How to get started with Digital Art

I started doing web comics about eight years ago, and my style now is almost unrecognizable from what it used to be. I drew with a ballpoint pen on paper, scanned it, and it looked like this. Then I started drawing digitally, and it changed everything.  So for the shadows, I take a black brush, which Gallardo passe to darken one side of the drawing and highlight the other side in white where the light is hitting the subject. The end result's this lovely drawing of Will drawn in four separate layers. If you're concerned about how drawing on glass might affect you, you can always look intimate screen protectors that will mimic the feeling of drawing on paper. I tried one out from a corporation called Paper Like, and it really helped bring some resistance to drawing on the iPad. So once you've got all of your tools, we're gonna advance to software. On my Mac Book, I like to use software like Adobe Photoshop, but on the iPad, I use Clip St...
