where can I find a video of the candle pictured to the right? it's like the world is flat and there is no actual outer-space in which to video record a flame burning... in degrees Celcius
-
I"m not following how changing to a combustion engine whose exhaust is primarily CO and HCHO is a good thing.

Isn't the international space station not to far away from earth, so it should still be pulled towards earth, but it's not because of its' high velocity, making it orbit around earth, so if it stops or slows down it would fall down back to earth. Why in all of the videos in this channel, you say that the international space station has zero gravity when in reality it has most of the earths gravitational pull??

Nice but «Poly-cyclic» not «poly-cylic» :-/
-
Very cool :)
-
This is a good video, says Neotheone
-
Show us your UFO sightings instead!! The people of earth deserve to know about it!
-
Please say the temperature in degrees Celcius too. Using only Farenheit in a science video is just wrong.

Amazing really
-
°F seriously?
-
Hey, UC San Diego! Home sweet home!
-
freaking awesome
-
Sales prospects need to remember that we do have a thing called physics and chemistry that rule this planet since its inception.

Existe la posibilidad de que traduzcan al español los videos? Gracias

In space, they experience zero g. Not zero gravity. There is some but not much. They are traveling at about the same speed as their surrounding. Not zero gravity

burning without flames ... amazing

They spoke about cleaner cars from this research. And I was thinking since compressed air automatically burns, maybe cars that run on air would work. I remember the video about this science experiment where they have a container, that has a plunger like on it, they took a small piece of cotton ball and put in it, then you push the plunger hard as you can which compresses the air, and the friction of the compressed air automatically causes the cotton ball to burst in flames. no fuel is needed, just compressed air to accomplish this. So a car that uses air, to force the piston down to compress the air, with a few drops of water in the chamber, would vaporize the water since compressed air gets super hot. And that steam would push the piston up again, and the resulting fumes would only be water vapor, so its clean for the environment.

You guys should respect nasa they are the founders of mostly every technology
-
yeah totally, lets produce better combustion engines....
when water fueled engines were invented 40+ years ago.
suck it nasa -
Never a straight answer... screw you guys at nasa. Ridiculous
