    When you mix "Dry Yeast" and "Peroxide" you get quite a nifty little reaction.

    You might have heard of this experiment before, it is usually called "Elephant Toothpaste". However, I have added more of the active ingredients to make the trick last about 4 times as long.

    Watch the video below for instructions and material list:

    A cool idea was to coat paintballs with this stuff. Flashes when they hit, but doesn't burn or produce heat so it's safe to use.

    In this episode of Scientific Tuesdays (read: Wednesday) I am going to show you how to make your own magnetic fluid. Now what is the point of this you may ask? None, really. But it looks awesome and you could potentially make some beautiful art using these methods.

    For this to work you are going to need:

    Shopping List:
    1. MICR Toner (Office Supply Store)
    2. Rare Earth Magnet (Hardware store)
    3. Vegetable Oil (Grocery Store)

    Welcome to the third edition of my "How To Speed Up Your Computer" series. As promised, I'm back in business. It's a pretty simply tutorial once again, but next time I'm going to show you how to do some tricky stuff with your registry. If you're not on a Windows user, I'm sorry that my videos have been only Windows tips. I promise to upload some Linux stuff in later episodes for you computer geeks (I'm running multiple operating systems).

    So this time I'm going to walk you through how to run a system cleanup and fragmentation. Your extra files are going to be cleaned up, so they will no longer be slowing your computer down.

    STEP ONE
    Go to the start menu and follow this path:
    All Programs :: Accessories :: System Tools :: Disk Clean Up

    STEP TWO
    Run the clean up. When it's finished analyzing, click 'OK'.

    STEP THREE
    Now, go to the start menu again and follow this path:
    All Programs :: Accessories :: System Tools :: Disk Fragmenter

    STEP FOUR
    Select your main disk drive and run the scan. ...

    Welcome to the second edition of my "How To Speed Up Your Computer" series. So here's what's up. In addition to all of my other videos, I will post a video to this series 2-4 times a week. Sound good?

    In this episode, I walk you through the process of improving your computers performance by tweaking, well; the performance options. Once again, this is a little bit on the elementary side, so for you advanced guys I promise to have something a bit trickier in the coming weeks.

    There are two methods for doing this. I'm going to explain method one, but if you have GodMode enabled; you can use the more simple method. See my last video for details on how to activate GodMode.

    STEP ONE
    Open the start menu. Run a search for "appearance".

    STEP TWO
    Select "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows"

    STEP THREE

    Check the box that says "Adjust for best performance"

    STEP FOUR

    Click OK to save changes.

    Your computer should now appear to be running Windows 97. I promise, it will still work just as well as it did before. If you've got 4GB of RAM and up, this shouldn't be necessary. It does make a noticeable difference if you have all the fancy things off however.
