Kathy Loves Physics & History | Faraday Cage Physics EXPLAINED using 1843 Ice Pail Experiment and History @Kathy_Loves_Physics | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 36 minutes ago
How does a Faraday Cage work to protect against lightning, Electric Fields, and Electromagnetic Waves like radio and microwave but not visible light? Take a journey with Kathy while she covers the physics of the Faraday cage from Stephen Gray in 1729 to Faraday making his cage in 1837, his famous ice bucket experiment in 1843 and even the influence of Maxwell, Heaviside and Hertz!

This video is a bit different. It is about what I love, based on many 1980s movies that inspired me including: Ferris Buelers Day Off, Real Genius, Its Never Better Off Dead and more.
By the way, the part of the video with the popcorn is from Real Genius and the song Everybody Wants to Rule the World is about climate change.
I hope you enjoy this little video as much as I did in making it.
Cheers,

ps. I didnt add commercials so I can use clips without reference. Also, originally, I complained about Richard Feynmann, but I realized it came off as mean, so that is why so many people are talking about him in the comments.")
