The light bulb is way older than you think! Take a journey through time from Newton's assistant to glowing books to jumping dead frogs to the arc lamp all with tons of demonstrations.

The man with the glowing ball and the levitating gold flakes is from a BBC show (that is beautiful, but full of factual inaccuracies, so beware):

The man with the glowing barometer is from James Burke Connections 3 (which also has factual inaccuracies):

Big Shout out to Bertrand Wolff in France who is working with Christine Blondel on the History of Electricity. Their videos have a lot more detail on how to recreate the experiments (and how to dissect the frog). If you speak any French I recommend you check it out!
The frog videos were made at their request by Dr. Francois Ferriere at the University de Rennes 1 and can be seen at:

The video of the gentleman getting shocked can be seen at:

Another big thank you to Tonny Cassidy for letting me use his arc lamp video:

Finally, as usual, a big thank you to the fabulous Kim Nalley for singing "electricity" and some background music. www.kimnalley.com

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,
Kathy Loves Physics
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.")
