| F9R First Flight Test | 250m Posted: 19 Apr 2014 09:16 PM PDT | Video of Falcon 9 Reusable (F9R) taking its first test flight at our rocket development facility. F9R lifts off from a launch mount to a height of approximately 250m, hovers and then returns for landing just next to the launch stand. Early flights of F9R will take off with legs fixed in the down position. However, we will soon be transitioning to liftoff with legs stowed against the side of the rocket and then extending them just before landing. The F9R testing program is the next step towards reusability following completion of the Grasshopper program last year (Grasshopper can be seen in the background of this video). Future testing, including that in New Mexico, will be conducted using the first stage of a F9R as shown here, which is essentially a Falcon 9 v1.1 first stage with legs. F9R test flights in New Mexico will allow us to test at higher altitudes than we are permitted for at our test site in Texas, to do more with unpowered guidance and to prove out landing cases that are more-flight like. | Views: 209789 3692 ratings | | Time: 01:53 | More in Science & Technology |

| Pyro Board: 2D Rubens' Tube! Posted: 19 Apr 2014 09:16 PM PDT | Standing waves of fire! Check out Audible: http://bit.ly/AudibleVe Fysikshow: http://bit.ly/Fysikshow - I'm hosting Michio Kaku in Brisbane and Melbourne: http://bit.ly/VeKakuTickets Rubens' Tube is an awesome demo and here we take it to the next level with a two-dimensional 'Pyro Board'. This shows unique standing wave patters of sound in the box. The pressure variations due to the sound waves affect the flow rate of flammable gas from the holes in the Pyro Board and therefore affect the height and colour of flames. This is interesting for visualizing standing wave patterns and simply awesome to watch when put to music. Thank you to Sune Nielsen and everyone at Aarhus for sharing this demonstration with me! And thanks for having me at your conference. Music by Kevin MacLeod, www.Incompetech.com "Ice Flow" | Views: 823499 17659 ratings | | Time: 06:34 | More in Education |

| What happens if you expose a Peep to vacuum? Posted: 19 Apr 2014 08:58 PM PDT | It's Easter time, which of course means it's time to find out what happens to a Peep when you suck all the air out of a room. The results are... interesting. More info: http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2014/04/16/peep_pull_what_happens_you_expose_a_peep_to_a_vacuum.html Recorded at the Texas A&M University's Physics and Engineering Festival in March 2014. http://physicsfestival.tamu.edu/ [Note: I know, I held the phone vertically while recording this. I had to; there were kids around and I didn't want them in the video to protect their privacy.] | Views: 182640 388 ratings | | Time: 00:56 | More in Science & Technology |
