Edited by Elliot Gough: http://www.youtube.com/ElliotExplicitComing Soon: The Technical Difficulties ExperimentsMatt and Tom2018-07-21 | Here's an out-take from the new Technical Difficulties Experiments which are coming to this channel soon! Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it! The Technical Difficulties | http://techdif.co.uk
* Isn't 3.6g a really low g-tolerance? * Yep. Turns out I would not qualify to be a fighter pilot. The average range for g-tolerance is 4-6; no-one was expecting me to pass out. The centrifuge team do not deliberately try to G-LOC people! To be fair, though, I'd done a few earlier runs with only minor effects.
* What g was the RAF person at the start pulling? * That's Marcus, from the Starrship team, and he was successfully pulling 6.5g with the help of g-trousers: they plug into a compressed air source in the plane (and in the centrifuge) and act as a lower-body tourniquet to keep the blood up top. They are very effective.
* Why did you shake and shudder when regaining consciousness? * Those are called "myoclonic convulsions", which is a fancy medical term for "muscle jerks", and they're a common side effect of recovering from G-LOC.
* What did it feel like? * I don't remember it. I was doing the breathing maneuver, then everything was wobbly, then we were stopped!
* Is this a sponsored video? * No: the RAF and Starrship had no editorial control over this, and no money changed hands. Obviously, though, they gave me a spin in the centrifuge, and I'm collaborating with them over on their channel too!
THANKS TO: The RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine, the Starrship team, and the folks at Qinetiq for making this happen.
Although we mention many brands and websites, this is not a sponsored video.How We Made The Fireworks VideoMatt and Tom2018-02-26 | We set off an entire 10 minute fireworks display in an instant on Tom's channel. Here's how and why we filmed it. MATT: http://youtube.com/unnamedculprit | TOM: http://youtube.com/tomscottgo
The camera is a Fujifilm Instax Mini 90.Its Okay To Screw Up Sometimes, We HopeMatt and Tom2018-02-10 | We're all human, and therefore occasionally make small errors. Sometimes these can have slightly bigger consequences. Here's why last week's video was a filler video. MATT: http://youtube.com/unnamedculprit | TOM: http://youtube.com/TomScottGo
[I didn't keep a central note of anything else people sent me, and I miss a lot of incoming tweets, so apologies to anyone else -- I really am sorry despite the words not coming out right! -- Tom]

Tom bought this with his own money. We are not endorsed by GoPro.Bonus Zero-G Footage: Cockpit & Cabin ParabolasMatt and Tom2017-12-19 | This is unedited bonus footage from Tom's How Zero-G Planes Work video (linked below). Matt: "I've persuaded Tom to upload a full unedited Zero-G parabola from the view of the cockpit and the cabin. I particularly enjoy the zip toggle on the leftmost pilot floating just before they crunch into 1.8G, and the transition from everyone floating and moving to being incredibly still in the cabin"
Both shots are from the GoPro Fusion camera. The cockpit footage is stabilised in post using Adobe After Effects and the telemetry from the plane's sensors.Cramped Super 8 with Sammy PaulMatt and Tom2017-12-09 | We bumped into Sammy while recording some Park Bench videos and surprise-interviewed him about filming on Super 8 for dodie's music video.
