Slightly-Mad Science I have the camera now! Splodiness will follow. But right now I'm exhausted from schlepping heavy things a lot. Woo. Posted at 1:47 AM Oct 18 view more
I am interested in science (mad or not), and recently started doing science demonstrations for a 5th grader class. Given that the more dramatic (and dangerous) experiments aren't permissible inside a school, I thought I'd put them on the Internet and here we are!
Should you have science-related questions, or suggestions for scientific principles to explore on a future episode of Slightly-Mad Science (given that I don't have much of a budget, no suggestions that I make my own particle accelerator, kay?), feel free to e-mail me at slightly.mad.science@gmail.com. Comments here are welcome as well...and if you're a maker of videos or music, I don't mind some promotion either. But, if you contact me about a "work-from-home" thing, try to sell me stuff, or want me to visit your dating/porn site...I'll pass, thanks.

Magnesium and the Attack of the Memes! Slightly-Mad Science
Magnesium is one of the most commonly used structural metals, being light and strong. It's necessary for living cells. And was used in early flash photography. But what you really want to know, is it splodey? Let's find out!! Oh, and there are also special appearances by "Chris Crocker" and the "Cookie Monster" (both impersonations done badly by me) as they drag you kicking and screaming through a few Internet Memes of 2007.
You can refer to WebElements (http://www.webelements.com/magnesium/) for more on Magnesium. Or just use Google, silly.
Special thanks goes out to Martyrd (www.myspace.com/martyrd) for the use of "Blue and Black" in this video, and to Andrew (www.myspace.com/morbidcaffienejunkies) for being an excellent camera-using minion.
Huffing - Slightly-Mad Social Science
This is a "Special Message" From Slightly-Mad Science regarding "huffing."
From Medicinenet.com:
Inhalant abuse (commonly called "huffing") is the intentional inhalation of chemical vapors to attain a mental "high" or euphoric effect. A wide variety of substances, including many common household products, are abused by inhalers."
(Seriously though, huffing is very dangerous and can kill you on the first try. Find safer hobbies...like full-contact kickboxing.)
Potential Energy!
This Demo is Dangerously-Stupid. Don't try this at home.
Potential Energy: PE=mgh. The energy stored by moving a mass to a height above the surface of the earth, which turns into Kinetic Energy when dropped due to the force of Gravity.
That's all well and good, but can you BREAK STUFF with it? SURE! At Slightly-Mad Science, we love breaking stuff!
How To Slightly-Mad Wrap a Gift (prank)
Frequently, I choose evil and devious ways to wrap gifts. It's a prank, but at least the gift I give them is worth the effort. Think if it as "creative gift wrapping through applied chemistry!" Make sure your intended "victim" has a decent sense of humor, and is not prone to extreme violence.
High Voltage Antique - Slightly-Mad Science
I recently obtained a "Violet Wand" (not to be confused with a "Violent Wand" which is what Harry Potter fans use when you make fun of them).
Time for some antique high voltage!
The greatest epidemic EVER, and what you can do.
I have remained silent while a tragedy of epidemic proportions rages across the entire world. I can no longer remain silent. I MUST do something. Sarcasm follows.
The Physics of Breaking Stuff
Silly Chop-Socky Physics Demonstration! Technique, Training, Focus, Power. All are important when trying to break boards bare-handed. However, there are also important physics that explain why the boards are broken.
From http://www.slightlymadscience.com
"Slag" courtesy of "A Childs First Funeral" (http://www.myspace.com/achildsfirstfuneral) Breakin' Flamin' Boards and the Leidenfrost Effect!
I break 3 boards that have been set on fire with Acetone and Lighter-Fluid. Why? A novel way to demonstrate the Leidenfrost Effect for Slightly-Mad Science! Music courtesy of Endrone (www.myspace.com/endrone) and used with permission. This version is specifically for the "Phylm" contest. Doll Death: Slain By Solvent Science! AITN Edition
From www.slightlymadscience.com
This is a result of my first viewer suggestion...Use science to melt a Barbie doll. I personally find Bratz dolls more annoying, so I included them too! The demonstration is to see which of the two commonly available and powerful solvents (Xylene and Acetone) affects the dolls more adversely. Keep watching to the end, that's when it gets HOT and a bit 'splodey!
This is the AITN Version. Music courtesy of Awake In The Nightmare (www.myspace.com/awakeinthenightmare).
This is a slightly-mad science parody of Blendtec's popular
webseries: "Will it Blend?" (http://www.willitblend.com/). My take is "Will it Burn?" It asks the question many ask, but with a twist. Which is better, the Mac or the PC? I figure more than enough people tangle with the typical issues regarding that. I wanna see how well they handle high voltage and fire!
Using 15KV 60ma of electricity, a smaller lightbulb will light up like a little storm. The lightbulb's glass will eventually fail, with the electricity burning a hole through the glass. Pretty dramatic effect, too.
Who I'd like to meet: John C. Dvorak - I tend to get along well with Cranky Geeks.
Kevin Rose - I also tend to get along well with geeks that can hold their liquor.
The Entire Staff of Mythbusters and Brainiac. Just because it'd be hella fun.
Amy Alkon - I would see much snappy repartee in that meeting.
really means alot that you gave us a chance.i know i know there are so many bands on here all wanting to be heard so indeed respect and appreciate the fact that what have you been up to nowadays?
Hey thank u for commenting on my profile. I have not been that good at checking out comments on here as of late, Been busy as hell. Just Finished a Painting! It will be posted in my blog today. Please check it out and comment there what ya think. It took me months. I am also Casting Director for Guavaween Parade in Ybor/Tampa this year so that is crazely keeping me busy. If you know anyone that would like to be involved in the Tampa area please have them email me at XZanthia@Gmail.com.

Maybe all human creation is a reflection of segments of that rare spiral. Perhaps is the unique thing that we see on a daily basis, but everyone abstracts it in it's own way.
Then, "this Universe of ours is a living oracle, a continually unfolding revelation that is speaking simbolically, just like a dream." - Paul Levy
"It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness, of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony." ~Benjamin Britten
I hope whatever you are listening to, you are cranking it! Karen :)
