Steve Ward tuned his Tesla coil so that the crackle of each spark sounds like a musical note. This is a solid-state Tesla coil. The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear.
2.
An education video describing how the cool technology of superconductors in magnetic levitation works.
3.
A flea pulls a million times it's weight over a low friction surface. A 1961 physics short by Educational Services, Inc.
4.
This is a clip from a David Icke Documentary called "Freedom Road". Tiny particles of sand are strewn on a smooth disk and subjected to vibrations being passed into the surface, they immediately begin to take form and arrange into a multitude of geometrically perfect designs. Some variations of these vibrations create known geometric patterns su...

On the surface of the Moon at Hadley Rille, Apollo 15 Commander David Scott verifies Galileo's discovery that all objects in gravity fields fall at the same speed.
In the vacuum of space, there is no air resistance. This is why the hammer and feather will have equal terminal velocities and hit the ground at the same time. This footage is PUBLIC DOMAIN.
6.
The shockwave surrounding a supersonic jet can compress air so much that the ambient moisture will form a cloud.
7.
An amazing set of experiments performed on the international space station.

Adam demonstrates how (and explains why) helium turns you into Donald Duck, and sulfur hexafluoride (five times more dense than air) turns you into Satan.
11.
Reuben's tube is a classic way to demonstrate the concept of a standing wave. Pump some flammable gas into one side of a tube, and attach a speaker to the other side, and watch what happens to the columns of flames that issue from small holes along the top.
12.
When cornstarch and water are mixed in certain percentages it becomes a non-newtonian fluid. When stress is applied to the liquid it exhibits properties of a solid.

Get enchanted by a aluminium foil ship floating above ground on sulphur hexafluoride (gas significantly denser than air).
