Centrifugal spinning toys //. Homemade science

[@beefchicken]

Bruce’s passion for science reminds me of my grade 8 and 9 science teacher. He was passionate about science, and it showed in his teaching, he was always so excited to do demonstrations like these.

[@Nighthawkinlight]

Your mini articulated doubles are hilarious. Great project!

[@YeanyScience]

thanks Ben, they do keep me amused

[@flemdogscience]

Those are so cool! I will have my students make them this year because I want to make them! Your connection to the shape of the earth is rad. It seems like the earth should be a wonderful sphere like you see water make in zero g but we got this odd shape, just like those toys demo. So many levels of cool. Thanks Bruce!

[@YeanyScience]

thanks Flemdog, I'm looking forward to seeing you take these to the next level.

[@Tuvazeock]

These videos are invaluable! I'm so glad Bruce takes the time to upload these.

[@kenclapp2804]

Hi Bruce, this was a great video. I could absolutely see my students loving this project. My son also let me know he wants to do it at home for fun. Glad you're back and I hope you have a great New Year.

[@YeanyScience]

thanks Ken, I hope to show some more simple projects that your son may like, stay tuned and have a happy new year

[@marcelinotorres687]

This is the stuff that would have led me to want to pay attention in class. I will do this project with my children at home and hopefully spark the interest in them. Thank you very much.

[@ArshdeepSingh-zy9ix]

Nice to see you after long time🤗

[@getaclassphys]

Bruce, Happy Ney Year! Your videos are so inspiring for all physics teachers in the world!

[@clairecelestin8437]

I appreciate your inclusion of a Julius Sumner Miller clip. He was a legend and an inspiration. I think he would be proud to see you carrying on his legacy, and he would be delighted with your content. Although you're offset in time, due to the nature and quality of your work I see the two of you as peers and colleagues.

[@YeanyScience]

I take that as a high compliment, Julius Sumner Miller has always been an inspiration to me throughout my years of teaching.

Recently I noticed that big puffer balls (they are very squishy) are great in showing centrifugal effects. I like to throw a ball in the air with rotation and it nicely flattens.

[@flemdogscience]

That is cool! What type of puff ball?

[@fizyka.nietylkodlaorlow]

@@flemdogscience here is a picture of mine drive.google.com/file/d/1xgSHl6Kieno3a6oozFZU268jc2Kc-7_b/view?usp=sharing It is very soft and can be easily deformed.

Hello Bruce, You might like to play with large pine cones and Wisteria seed pods. They can be used to make weather toys like the German weather houses. The pine scales move with humidity and so do Wisteria pods. (they twist when dry & flatten out when wet) I think "motors" can be made from them. pine scales can make a hygrometer just by putting a straw on the point and use fun tack to hold it in place. some scales move 180 degrees or more. Wisteria pods twist 360 degrees easy. Soaking these with salt water effects how they absorb moisture from the air.

[@mrdovie47]

Scales from a pine cone in action. Very Slow, but action. I find wrapping the pine scale or petal with absorbent yarn or string makes them repeat the up and down movement, bird drinking motion. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWrHaX1uo8uBa6s

It’s Ben Boyd from last year. I hope your remember me. Anyway, keep up the good work and keep up the content, can’t wait to watch your next video

[@YeanyScience]

Absolutely yes, I remember you Ben, I hope to get back into the school soon and see you and your class again

[@S1N_5826]

@@YeanyScience I hope so, fingers crossed 🤞

[@slimnim1753]

Hey Bruce. 👋 Looking forward to another great year of content. Can't wait to see your next mega project. 👍

[@JeremyMcCrearyTechnicalLEGO]

I enjoy making spinning top-based centrifugal spintoys with LEGO (examples on my channel). Lots of fun to design and play with. Combining LEGO constuction with gravity and non-LEGO springs and elastics makes many different onboard mechisms possible. These centrifugal tops are always crowd-pleasers at LEGO shows. But exploiting centrifugal force in tops is nothing new. Japanese and German topmakers put centrifugal force to excellent use ca. 1850-1930. And much older examples can be found in large vintage top collections.

[@JamesTheAxeThrower]

If you made one with metal springs that are mounted at a offset angle could it be used like a fan to move air around a room?

[@Alan_Hans__]

Coincidentally your enthusiasm for science/physics has always reminded me of Julius Sumner Miller. You just need to work on your hair a bit :)

[@YeanyScience]

He's always been a favorite of mine, by the time I hit his age I don't think I'll have the hair on top to match his

[@kwillo4]

Haha the flying dudes are epic.

[@tassiotabosa2422]

Canal muito bom! Impressionante a paixão pela ciência e pelo ensino que ele tem! Espero e ele esteja bem e volte a postar vídeos! Tenho um tio que é professor e pesquisador (Óptica) da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco

[@dameinreadinger15]

Howdy Mr. Yeany!! it's awesome to see you back in the classroom doing what you love happy new year Mr Yeany!!!!! Hope your doing well

[@YeanyScience]

thank you Damein, I'm officially retired but still go in and substitute.

[@michalchoma6112]

another good experiment for intro to force and dynamics. Nice, thanks.

[@bahaamoataz2844]

Thank you very much i really love your videos and appreciate your passion and effort ❤️

thank you, hope the coming year is good for you too

[@lightdark00]

Are you back in the classroom this school year teaching? Or you have videos queued up for us? 😊 Hope you have a happy new year!

[@YeanyScience]

I've been back in helping out as a substitute on occasion. I have some video clips shot but not completed. the school has allowed me continue shooting video in the building as I get the chance

[@lightdark00]

@@YeanyScience Ahh, that all sounds wonderful for us! And the best substitute teacher ever!

Playground carusell and modified scooter. The carusell can transform into a flying saucer, if the system is operated with careless manner.

Супер!

[@hunterboat]

Bruce. Awesome! Thank you

[@LetMeRaveTV]

Have you ever thought of teaming up with the theatre/drama department to have the students learn editing videos? I think that would be an awesome class!

[@christinerameau885]

Can you make the spinner on dowel spin with the wind?

[@YeanyScience]

I tried, it would turn occasionally but is not consistent

[@mrb40000]

I once invented a wind turbine that uses centrifugal force as seen in a steam engine govenor, never finished the project.

Question:Static charge produces an electric field around itself. But how does a moving charge produces a magnetic field around itself?

[@muhammadtariqyousaf3251]

Question: Everybody is balanced if its center of mass passes through its base. But in the banking of the cycle, the cycle is ultimately balanced because its center of mass is not passing through its wheels. (base) How does a banking cycle balance?

[@EclecticBuddha]

I just wish someone made a big steel flywheel. Maybe 14 inch diameter and 3/8" thick with a bearing at the center.

Gyroscope spining - the Earth is stationary, the Earth is flat.

[@S1N_5826]

Hi Mr. Yeany

[@stillme4084]

It's hard to TOP a spinning toy.

[@tacvolun3570]

I can see driving that, but get rid of these stupid thumb holes, And regarding the holes where you would stick your wrist, let's please have that be a cup without any spokes in the end of the hand holes, and I would drive it

[@AV036]

1:21 "why the earth is flattened at the poles" is it FLATTER up there?🤦‍♂Oh really.. that's the least of your problems.. Perhaps add some real water to your pretend NASASS model and show us some anti-centrifugal sticky bulge water.

[@AV036]

Did the laws of nature or your common-sense stop working at the NASA magical sky boundary only for spaace clowns😂

[@YeanyScience]

AV036, I'm not really sure what the question is or what you are objecting to here. Be happy to address your questions if they are stated a bit more clearly.

[@AV036]

​@@YeanyScience You had me with the egg gun, totally well done practical science.😂👍 But, does the egg beater device really PROVE or merely allude to some total BS Nasa's has you fooled into believing or forced to teach🤨😑 Bendy water bulges on an oblate spinning spheroid seen in real time... any and where? (NOT-cGi)🤭 Mmmh that amount of mass moved twice daily with the odd king tide or super cell. 🤦‍♂Try..unbalanced washing machine analogue. Earth tilt or rotation detected🤣 It's akin to a piece of stretched spandex and rolling marbles at a steel ball suspended in it's center.. for sticky spaace "poop"?. 🤔

[@Jackkamerun]

so why does the water not leave the sea bed and jum up the sky at the equator line knowing about the tremendous rotation of the earth .. Because the earth is flat?

[@suavewolf1994]

What is gravity?

[@schizy]

Eh~ Not one of your better videos, but thanks anyway.

[@YeanyScience]

Hi Ron, I would agree that some videos will be more exciting than others. This one is going back to the original intent of the channel which was to show materials and demonstrations that others can make and try for themselves. I'm hoping that is the case for this one.
