As an curious and ODDUNCLE I made this video along with the others to expose my nieces and nephews to basic fundamentals and principles. It is important to recognize and cultivate truth, goodness and beauty during life, and I hope to expose these special children to such ideals while beneficially learning them myself. Towards this end, I make videos to explore and loosely tie together something from the Bible and the scientific realm while closing off with something inspirational or beautiful. In this video I explore odd glider shapes that somehow possibly fly. The gliders are modifications from a build that I demonstrate here: https://rumble.com/vlamm3-simple-glider-build.html Words of Caution*** The purpose of these videos is to expose my nieces and nephews to concepts and how they may work in the real world.

Towards that end, I make videos to explore and loosely tie together something from the bible and the scientific realm while closing off with something inspirational or beautiful. In this video I build a simple and cheap glider from a Styrofoam platter, BBQ skewer, small metal nut, thick paper, hot glue and clear tape. The glider can be enlarged or shortened by use applying simple math to the dimensions listed here. Dimensions Main wing. Max length 10.75 inches. Max Width 2 inches. Wing is tapered so that 10 inches from the 2 inch width it is 1.5 inches. The taper to achieve this is 0.25 inches from front and pack. Wing tip is a half circle with a radius of 0.75 inches. Main wing base. Top length is 2 inches. Width is 0.75 inches. Bottom length is 1.5 inches with a 0.25 inch taper from the top to the bottom. Small Wing. Rear edge is 4 inches. Front edge is 3 inches. Width is 1 inch with the first half inch being perpendicular to the rear edge and then curving to meet the frond edge. This curve is achieved by using a quarter of the circumference of a circle with a radius of 0.5 inches. Small wing base. Top length 1 inch. Width 0.5 inch. Bottom 0.5 inch. There is a 0.25 inch taper on both sides from top to bottom. Tale. Top edge 0.5 inch. Bottom edge 1.5 inches. Width 2.5 inches and perpendicular to top and bottom. The front, angled edge is formed by connecting the top and bottom. Rectangular flaps. Width 1 inch. Height 2 inches. Rear wing flaps. Width 1 inch. Front edge 1.75 inches. Rear edge 1 inch. The front and rear edges are connected by a curved edge that initially is 0.25 inch perpendicular from front edge and then curves to the rear edge following the path of a quarter circumference of a circle that has a radius of 0.75 inch.

In this video I try to explore the concept of thrust and demonstrate that with balloons, match head rockets and a bottle rocket.

To that end I attempt make videos to explore and loosely tie together something from the bible and the scientific realm while closing off with something inspirational or beautiful. In this video I construct a cork throwing trebuchet similar to one I had earlier used to demonstrate a first class lever. It is made mostly of wooden paint stir sticks and held together with hot glue as well as the occasional zip tie. The grand total cost of this build was less than two dollars and a headache from trying to record myself.

In this video I explore some chemical reactions that can be done at home but are dangerous as they involve fire, explosion and pressurized gas just to name a few. I do apologize that my explanations are vague but I do hope that the flash and bang of the video provides some entertainment value.

As an curious and ODDUNCLE I made this video is for my nieces and nephews. The title tells you just about everything. The red output arm of the lever is approximately 6 times the length of the input arm. This with the additional length of twine that loops the corks around the output arm results in the cork having to travel through a longer distance than the blue output arm. This is what I'm told allows for the fun of target practice. No plastic bottles were harmed in this production and all have been recycled.

As an curious and ODDUNCLE I made this video is for my nieces and nephews. The title tells you just about everything. Due to the amount of friction in the compound lever system it is admittedly holding up a larger weight than it would if the friction were reduced. This is a series of 5 levers all of the Class 1 designation. The lever holding up the cast iron pan has the same length input and output arms and is used to change the direction of force applied by the other levers of the system. The four other levers have an input arm that is 3x the output arm. Linked together they create an incredible amplification of force but this is possible with the trade off of minimal distance traveled by the output arm.

A video created for my nieces and nephews containing a scriptural reading of the Our Father, introduction to simple machines and a joke about getting into heaven. It only explores the basic of basic concepts of simple machines and admittedly is not perfect nor as clear as I'd like. Corrections have been added. Likely future videos will be posted on each simple machine to explore the fundamentals further.
