In this video, I show that firing a projectile has a maximum total distance traveled in the air when the launch angle is approximately 56°. This is 11° higher than the 45° angle needed to maximize the

John Hutchison and Tom Sky join the show to discuss their 2007 filming of the Hutchison Effect, as well as Tom's health immediately after the experiment.

For reference, here are some troubleshooting notes, tips, issues, and resolutions I have had over the years. Double check microphone sound device properties to ensure it is at 100% audio. Ensure Browser

Extensive tutorial on deriving the launch angle to maximize the total distance, not just horizontal distance, that a projectile travels in the air.

Deep dive into the common misunderstandings of conservation of angular momentum and what it actually means.

Grok Source: Wikipedia is not contradicting the corrected version. That sentence is an old textbook analogy for a rigid body, not the general conservation law. Wiki’s actual conservation statement, a few

In this video I clip out the clips from the 2007 Tom Sky footage of the Hutchison Effect to show John playing back live footage he recorded with his camera of a levitating can that Tom and his uncle missed

Rare footage of John Hutchison playing back levitation effects live to Tom Sky from the dedicated camera George Hathaway gave him.

LSD, DNA, PCR: The Strange Origins Of A Biology Revolution Source: Before the COVID-19 pandemic, you may have not known about polymerase chain reaction (PCR) unless you worked in a lab using it. Even then,

In this video, I show how to obtain the curvature of parametric equations that involve integrals, by first utilizing the fundamental theorem of calculus to obtain the derivative of the position vector

The curvature of a space curve is obtained when given its parametric equations as integrals for the x and y components.

In this video, I go over the physics of a ball rolling off a table and determine how far it falls, the angle and speed it bounces with, and the distance it travels for a second bounce after losing 80%

The physics of a ball rolling off of a table is explained via vector functions and vector calculus.
