Capacitors #shorts Jimmy Atom 2025-06-04 | The simplicity of the electric field gives an incredible understanding and insight into how most electrical components work and also helps massively with understanding electromagnetism (one of the real wonders of the universe).
How to make a capacitor and how they work. Jimmy Atom 2025-06-01 | Super simple capacitor at home that costs nothing to build.The key here is to understand electric fields and how they govern most of modern day technology. So many electric components depend on an unequal balance of electrons on one side of a plate.This also massively helped me to understand permitiivity of free space which is perhaps the most important of the fundamental understandings for electromagnetism so I wanted to show how to make a simple capacitor.8.85418782 × 10-12 m-3 kg-1 s4 A2Of course you can go deep here and increase efficiency and build larger plates, so much online to see.
If the internet and electricity goes down- the radio waves are the only things still there Jimmy Atom 2025-05-31 | ...
The power in Cannes went down 2 days ago, these are ideal if this happens again Jimmy Atom 2025-05-29 | Make a quick video check out the main one. All the power went out in Cannes, it’s the 3rd country I’ve been in- in the last 2 months that has had a full on city-wide power cut!These devices cost 20 bucks and will work if all power and communications go down. Invaluable if you ask me!!

All power in Cannes is down Jimmy Atom 2025-05-24 | Cannes blackout knocking out power to 160,000 homes on Saturday 24 May 2025—was traced to a fire at an electrical substation in the nearby village of Tanneron.French grid operator RTE said the fire knocked out power across the Alpes-Maritimes, including the entire city of Cannes. Investigators from the national gendarmerie believe the fire was set deliberately; they are treating it as a suspected arson/sabotage attack and are also looking at damage to overhead lines in the same area (Reuters).I uploaded this using the GSM network so pretty slow. I can show you how to use the Firmware upgrade if interested.UK are sending the home guard to secure electricity stations. Spain and Portugal full blackout recently. All of Cannes and much of South of France power down today.Doesn’t seem like this issue is on a downward trajectory.
Cool little 3v 0.3W solar panel Jimmy Atom 2025-05-23 | As basic as you can get, but still astonishes me, a plate of metal looking at the sun can give this much energy- forever!
How fast do electromagnetic waves travel? Jimmy Atom 2025-05-19 | Good to get a visual of how fast your mobile phone sends EM waves when communication. Remember this is constant, happening all around us, and on every frequency.Obviously I've not included frequency, or wavelength but simply the field size in a sphere- and EM waves propagate toroidal and almost spherical (mathematically spherical).Your entire body is encompassed by the electromagnetic waves within picoseconds.
A nuclear power plant in 1 cable Jimmy Atom 2025-05-18 | These quiet looking giants of the forest can be over 100 years old.Normally distanced at 360m from each other- and can run for hundreds or thousands of km.A 50Hz AC current gives a 6,000 km EM wave. These antennas / cables at 1,500 km can emit large EM waves.What’s just as INSANE is that these cables can carry 3 Gigawatts of power!! Yes another to power millions of homes!!!
Taking apart a Dehumidifier- Peltier module Jimmy Atom 2025-05-17 | Gives you a feel for the temperature differential on both sides of the Peltier module.As with any physical experiment (if you can call it that!), always a surprise- the Peltier was far colder than I had guessed in my mind, and with only 3 volts and 1Amp, so little power required to use it.However, Peltier's are around 4% efficient so almost all of the energy is wasted, such a shame. Hopefully, we can design a more efficient module.
Electric field Vs the Magnetic field magnitude in Electromagnetism Jimmy Atom 2025-05-15 | One of the most basic formulas in Physics but so GREAT to put numbers into perspective.To give an idea of the equivalent E and B field strengths of the same EM wave.
Total charge of universe is zero Jimmy Atom 2025-05-08 | The total charge of the universe is zero.Add up all the negatively charged particles like electrons, all the positively charged ones like protons, and you get zero. Neutrons are neutral — they don’t count.Thanks to charge conservation, you can’t create charge from nothing. If two particles collide and create light, the total charge before and after stays the same.But what if the universe didn’t have zero net charge?You’d get a large-scale electric field — maybe slightly more negative than positive — and that would bias how electromagnetic waves move.Light might not travel in perfect straight lines. Even polarisation could twist light.There’s a symmetry to everything and charge is a part of that cosmic balance
Dimming the sun in the UK, and who to watch out for. Jimmy Atom 2025-05-06 | Patrick Vallance did not follow the science, he followed the modelling.Patrick Vallance was Co-Chair of Sage. Sage initiated Spi-B during the pandemic, one of the lines in their Behavioural Control outline was;"Perceived level of threat needs to be increased using hard hitting emotional messaging".UK citizens pay their taxes for the Government staff to protect the UK, not scare them, emotionally.Patrick Vallance did not follow the science, he followed the modelling. He explicitly mentioned following the modelling of Professor Neil Ferguson who over estimated bird flu quoting "200 million deaths" when there have been less than 500. Same for Mad Cow Disease. Neil Ferguson, after being a huge part of Locking down Britain, then was found breaking the lockdown rules himself.I was hyper aware of all this during Covid, but I didn't want to put out more negative vibrations into the universe, but now I feel I need to mention this whole situation, because Patrick Vallance has been made Secretary of State for Science. And anything that can harm the British population, I want to make people aware of. SAI- Stratospheric Aerosol Injection has been funded by the UK Government department- the Advanced Research Agency. Patrick Vallance is not a part of this, but my intuition tells me, in the next few weeks, he will have something to do with it.My whole point here is to give some background into his thinking, his decisions and how wrong I believe he was- and therefore he should not have a controlling decision about a potentially harmful scientific endeavour- after he has clearly shown he does not put the population of British citizens concerns at all as the number one priority.
What caused the blackout in Portugal and Spain? Jimmy Atom 2025-04-29 | A month ago, I posted about a massive coronal hole on the Sun — around 60× the diameter of Earth.Coronal holes release high-speed streams of charged particles — mainly protons and electrons from the Sun's hydrogen and helium plasma.When this solar wind reaches Earth, it disturbs the magnetosphere, creating auroras — that's what's visible to us. But imagine what else is happening.It’s even more nuanced than that: electromagnetic waves generated during solar storms can resonate with long power lines, causing harmonics that can disrupt local electricity gridsPower line harmonics and geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are a fascinating area of study.Over the last week, the coronal holes have shrunk significantly, but solar winds take about two days to travel from the Sun to Earth — meaning effects lag behind what we see.All my information comes directly from NASA and the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center:swpc.noaa.govsoho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/realtime/mpegNature still runs the ultimate power grid. We have to protect ourselves as it shows in just 7 hours, people are in supermarkets, petrol stations, ATMs- and most are not working.
Dimming the Sun Jimmy Atom 2025-04-26 | Dimming the Sun sounds worrying, and I am not happy with the Governments typical approach to worry people, without a full explanation, or informed consent. As much as I want to talk about this leadership, it will detract from the science behind Sulphur Dioxide. So here I explain very simply the process behind dimming the sun. Of course this is just one option; SAI, there are other options but this seems the most likely.All of this aside, as I am sure £61m of research will beat my 6 minute YouTube video, where is the "Informed Consent"? Gov trust is at an all time low, following events over the last few years.Tampering with nature, when the UK is not very hot at all, does not seem to me like the wisest move of all time.Vitamin D is essential for immunity and health, and no one has been told (as I mention in this video) this process will need to be repeated.Photosynthesis will be reduced.To keep the cooling effect, Sulfur Dioxide must be injected regularly (e.g., every few months); Earth goes from DIM, to not-so DIM very quickly.When you stop SAI (Sulfur injections into the stratosphere), global temperatures could spike very quickly, within a decade, because the cooling "veil" disappear. This could create a "termination shock" - a temperature spike.If you offset by 1°C of warning, that 1°C could snap back faster in a decade. Compare this to volcanic cooling which fades slowly, because the H₂SO₄ aerosols fall back to Earth after 1–2 years.
Dental Floss Part 2- Teflon and Plastic. Jimmy Atom 2025-04-25 | What's your dental floss made of?Some more information here on what we use daily, and this is based on my recent interest concerning Nitric Oxide reduction from mouthwash.Forever chemicals, endocrine disruptors and microplastics. Find a nylon or silk or PFA free floss.Please always do your own research.
Plastic and “forever” chemicals in dental floss. Jimmy Atom 2025-04-23 | I know there is a way where you can worry about most things in the environment, but there are certain daily habits you can easily change, that can really help improve your health. I am on a bit of a mission to filter out anything I'm using that't poisonous for me, and once I have the full list, I can just use those products without thinking about it anymore.I always wondered what dental floss was really made of, surely it can't actually be plastic? The thing we are all so worried about imbibing through plastic bottles? Only, we know for certain that the floss is rubbing against our teeth and leaving plastics in our mouth. Well upon looking a little deeper, it turns out that the very well know dental floss I was using also contains forever chemicals!I truly feel this type of information should be far more in the open- hence the reason for this video.
Mouthwash increases blood pressure and reduces Nitric Oxide. Jimmy Atom 2025-04-21 | I noticed my blood pressure was high, and I am aware this is the precursor to cardiovascular disease. I started looking into all the reasons why my BP was high- too much excess alcohol? With too much exercise? Living in a very very high altitude (Mexico City). All of this lead me to look closer at NO.I watched a great podcast by the Diary of a CEO- youtu.be/zECoaEZRRFU?si=v1_1Nz0_nzd8QHZr where Dr Nathan Bryant made some incredibly bold claims such as;1. 100% of cancer patients have bad oral health.2. Mouthwash over 7 days increased Blood Pressure by 20 points in human test subjects3. Nitric Oxide can help cure Alzheimers, cancer and other diseases.Now Dr Nathan Bryan is an incredibly well published scientist, so of course I had to look further at NO. Especially because I use mouthwash daily, so although I rushed it a little here, it's very good to look at the bond structure of NO and how it forms. It's very hard to form synthetically, but the body forms it fairly easily. Because of the lone electron in Nitrogen, NO has a free radical which makes it so powerful in the body. But like most radicals, it’s a double-edged sword, beneficial in the right amounts, harmful in excess.So then I decided to stop using mouthwash, which is something Dr Nathan Bryant recommends very strongly. So then the question is of course, which toothpaste prevents NO production? So here I gave practical help to which toothpaste can actually help.
Microwave dish Jimmy Atom 2025-04-11 | Parabolic microwave dish is what you see everywhere. They direct the beam by using the shape of a paraboloid to focus or direct electromagnetic waves. Just imagine a C-shape, that’s it.You see these often and they’re for point-to-point communication. Great for backup or highly secure communication which is why you typically see these above banks.
Electricity Pylon Radiation (EM waves) #shorts #science - Full video below Jimmy Atom 2025-04-06 | Full video explanation; youtu.be/NVIkC-MWI4wI made a longer video here to explain a little more about Electricity Pylon Harmonics. I could say "Resonance" at the end but would need to go into more detail on Geophysics which is not my area.These Electricity Pylons create EM waves, very low frequency fields with a similar wavelength to earths radius.
Power line harmonics Jimmy Atom 2025-04-06 | The secret behind power lines that not a lot of people talk about. Ask most people involved in power lines, or EM, or QFT and they will explain that EM in the environment reduces drastically in power, inversely squared to the distance. Of course this is (roughly) true, as all mathematics is a guide for nature but not identically the same- for example a sin wave can map an EM wave well, but not perfectly, it's just an incremental mathematical curve trying to trace nature.In 1900 Tesla made a statement about how very low frequencies "do" in fact travel far into the earth's core and into the environment. Typically, the size of a wave, will interact with a correlated size object. In fact that's how we precisely measure objects using EM, based on the size of the wave.Very long waves with very low frequencies are generally lower in power and don't tend to interrupt much on earth when a single phase of the wave is thousands of KM long. But what if the EM waves from the electricity pylons did interact with the earths core, the Shchumann resonance and the ionosphere far more than we think? It would mean they could severely change geophysics in certain areas- because electricity grids and pylons are always increasing in strength.What if we could use these electricity pylons to our advantage? To actually find out information from the core of the earth?
How do watches work #shorts click below for full video Jimmy Atom 2025-04-04 | Full description is here; youtu.be/s06ZHDpBVyYLittle talked about fact is really how Quartz Crystal works. My mum always warned me away from girls that like crystals :-)When you apply a voltage through the crystal, it starts to mechanically flex back and forth. This flexing is quite precise and can be converted to a signal to show you the seconds on your watch. I discuss here how you can divide a number by 2, to get to 1- 1 second.So they don't just resonate on their own, until you mechanically stress them. Of course, they are always under stress so in a small way, they are always giving off both EM and AC current. But these are very small, and in terms of AC, the crystal doesn't have the best antenna dynamics so this radiation is minimal.If you drive the crystal with a small voltage near its resonant frequency, it starts to oscillate strongly. The result is a very stable, sinusoidal AC voltage, typically in the kHz to MHz range. Add an antenna and due to electrons moving up and down the antenna, we create an electromagnetic field which is the basis for the carrier wave of our TVs, mobile phones, radar etc.These crystals form the building blocks of so much of the technology we use today. in some cases microchips, controllers and other devices can create oscillating fields BUT they are typically (such as a microchip) not as accurate as nature itself- the Quartz Crystal mineral. Obviously taking this up a notch, if we consider atomic clocks- using caesium atoms and quantum mechanics (atom transitions) they are of course more accurate than quartz crystal- but that is not the point of this video.If you ever want to buy anyone a gift, I suggest buy them a quartz crystal and send them this video.
How your watch actually works. Jimmy Atom 2025-04-04 | Kind of unbelievable that this crystal is used to keep time. Its oscillations are fairly precise, and it's simply a mineral!Almost every clock around the world (save for atomic clocks using caesium atoms (and electron transitioning for timekeeping (and even more accurate))) uses Quartz Crystal to oscillate. I explain here how the second is kept.What's even more interesting than basic time keeping, is if you add an antenna, you can now generate an electromagnetic field so send communication! Nearly all mobile phones used to use Quartz Crystal. I find it unusual that there is not a lot of information online about this.I remember as a kid having a Crystal Radio Controlled (RC) car with a crystal and was so interested by this crystal back then. And it was used to send signals from the RC car to my remote.
Asimo in Japan (2016|) Jimmy Atom 2025-04-02 | I can't believe this was almost 10 years ago! I made this video, but kept it private, not quite sure why! Pretty cool to see Asimo back then in Tokyo, and yes Boston Dynamics now is incredible, but Asimo was pretty special considering this was 2016!I flew all the way to Tokyo to meet ODG back in 2016- they agreed to meet me as they were regarded as having the best AR glasses on the market. Back then I was obsessed with AR (Augmented Reality)- I made a video about the Hololens which trended on YouTube for a bit and received millions of views, so people were really interested back then. I was certain, by 2020 that AR glasses would replace smart phones, looks like I was wrong!But on my travels I always wanted to see Asimo, as I kid I just loved robotics. In fact I purposefully chose a school that had a robotics class and that's the school I went to.Funny looking back, so thought why not make some old private videos public!
How do TV antennas work Jimmy Atom 2025-03-31 | Horizontal Polarisation | Yagi Uda AntennaI’m going to publish more videos on EM. To me it’s magic, yet we understand it so well.These antennas are everywhere, and I love the challenge of thinking deeply enough about how they work, how they carry data, and how a TV station 100km away still emits signals to this antenna.Here I touch on Horizontal Polarised antennas- isn’t it incredible that somewhere a radio station is emitting an EM radio signal, and the Electrical Field remains vertical, and the Magnetic Field (b) remains Horizontal!I also touch on the spherical wavefront, which I can discuss in another video.It’s easy to make videos people will watch, talking about products, or popular subjects. However every day I think about EM and wonder how it truly functions, and it’s easier for me just to film this without a setup just using my phone, whenever I see a radio station.
Proof the earth is not flat. Jimmy Atom 2025-03-16 | 2,500 years ago Aristotle discovered the earth was not flat, it was a sphere.It’s amazing to think he would have looked up at the moon every night, and one evening he would have seen what we now call an eclipse. That curved shape shadow proved to him that the earth was a sphere.Prior to Aristotle, popular belief was that the earth was flat, or disk shaped.
Power lines Jimmy Atom 2025-03-09 | Talk about what you love right? I don’t know why I’m so fascinated with power lines, is the EM that no one talks about? Or the fact they power everything we do? Or that birds love them?

This stuff just blows my mind- reality check. Jimmy Atom 2025-03-03 | I made a video as the last one was just of black space. I hope you can get the same awe as me from looking up at the sky…We tend to stop thinking at infinity. But stars we can see are within known distances and made from molecules we understand fairly well- think about the periodic table- not one integer is missing.So when looking up, we have two options for a thought experiment;1. Well wow, 1,200 light years is just insane.2. Ok I’m human and I’m 2 metres tall, so it’s only 5,000,000,000,000,000,000 of me stacked up- away. I can see it, up there. It’s imaginable.It’s like the guy who founded Longshot, funny MF, has built a light air rail gun that can shoot projectiles at Mach 4, the gun is, let’s say 20 metres long. I heard him say he is building a “small” 500 metre long barrel gun to shoot projectiles at Mach 10. BUT he needs to build, and aims to build a 15km long gun! Thats thinking big, right?It’s just a matter of perspective. How big will you allow your brain to think? I think a 15km barrel, is within the confines of human thinking. We’ve built 10km holes in the ground so part of the gun could go into the ground or under water.BUT conceiving travelling at the speed of light, non stop for 10 lifetimes, then looking up and seeing that distance in the sky as a fingernails distance- is just the most insane reality check I can even begin to conceive.
As a young man you can get drunk all weekend, but you can also expand your brain #shorts #science Jimmy Atom 2024-09-08 | Bit of an obvious one this but wanted to capture my high dopamine levels after leaving the TI in London. The Royal Institute is where Faradys lab is (You can visit it) and where he slept. It's now where some of the best scientists from around the world come and talk, every week.One floor has been dedicated to some of the best minds in the world, there they are working on the 23 most complex math problems to help humanity.
How much of the electromagnetic spectrum can we see? #shorts #electromagnetic #waves #science Jimmy Atom 2024-09-04 | Based on the visible light part of the spectrum spanning just 300nm, it's inconceivable how much of the EM spectrum we cannot actually see.
Millionaire Migration- lets keep tech in the UK #shorts Jimmy Atom 2024-09-03 | Controversial topic I know, but if I don't say it who will?Most people right now are thinking, "ok the UK is in trouble, let's leave"- but there are many people who can't leave due to families and jobs.And it feels that this situation is almost being "caused" so surely we can create tech and science platforms in the UK if we have the talent density?I almost feel like in the UK, we need the American Dream but the British version- and the only way to create that is by creating successful Brits.
Our best evidence that Aliens exist- The Wow Signal! #shorts #wow #thewowsignal Jimmy Atom 2024-09-03 | The WOW! Signal, received by SETI is our best evidence to date of ETs. What I personally love about this is radio astronomers can pickup these Hydrogen signals from so far away.
UK stops 1.3Bn AI bill. #shorts #uk #ai Jimmy Atom 2024-09-02 | UK Gov stops 1.3Bn AI bill which was going ahead. As a science and tech lover, enthusiast from the UK, this deeply sadens me because this is the time when the UK really needs to create some value on the world stage.
The UK has the most Nobel Laureates per Capita. #shorts #science Jimmy Atom 2024-09-01 | The UK is the smartest country on earth when taking into account number of Nobel laureates per capita.I like people knowing this information to bring some excitement back to the UK science community.
17yo Cesare Mencarini creates Nuclear Fusion Reactor for A-Level project. Jimmy Atom 2024-08-31 | This is what the world needs more of!Here is the link to Cesare's full project; linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7232081906069082113I was intending to make a video documenting Cesare's work and what he achieved, so I asked him for a 10 minute call, we ended up speaking for an hour so I think it's best to post the whole conversation.Cesare 3D printed and machine spun stainless steal parts to create a Fusor, vacuum chamber which he fed Hydrogen isotopes into a linear confinement chamber to successfully produce plasma!Confinement chambers (IECFs) are not meant to ignite a fusion reaction, but they should create plasma at lower temperatures with the aim of creating fusion. Cesare used D-D instead of D-T isotopes which I expected from this setup.Hydrogen is more readily available for Fusion and you can make deuterium from water. Tritium is much more difficult.We also discussed Fission and many other topics. The overwhelming part for me is that Cesare is 17yo and if you take all the elements here, this guy for me is a young Michio Kaku- who created a particle accelerator for his school project.If of interest I will make a shorter video looking at the schematics. I've read the project thesis and watched the videos, and I am in ore at Cesare's all-round knowledge and still can't believe he is 17. He barely needs to think about the responses to my questions because he already knows them, what a legend.Intro00:40 wasn’t expecting so much coverage02:00 3D printing stainless steel04:48 Metal spinning05:45 The Fusor07:45 What made you want to build a Fusion reactor?09:30 How many hours did you spend on this?10:20 What is electrostatic?13:51 How many reactions / molecules per sec15:10 Are you buying Deuterium gas?17:20 How do you picture ions?19:25 Voltage used and Neutrons produced23:00 Fission Vs Fusion24:50 Dont weaponise and educate on Nuclear energy27:32 Rolls Royce modular Nuclear reactor29:05 Where would your time help most humans?34:37 Enough helium the moon to power the earth for thousands of years35:05 Whats your plan?37:50 Reflect Orbital43:00 Is Fusion the holy grail?

UK Government Cancels £1.3Bn AI Bill: Shocking Decision Explained. Jimmy Atom 2024-08-30 | UK: The Most Intellectually Talent-Dense Country on Earth.The UK has 137 Nobel Laureates compared to 400 from the US making the UK the most talent dense country on earth.The UK housed Deep Mind, many good AI devs started here in the UK.Faraday, Maxwell, Newton- the ways you are receiving this video is thanks to these British scientists.The UK has 4 of the top 10 Universities in the world. Yet the UK has no Uber, no AirBNB, no Google- you get the picture.Unfortunately the UK Government just stopped a 1.3Bn GBP AI bill. Not my job to point out the billions spent on other areas, but virtually none is spent on science and technology- when it should. If I was Prime Minister of the UK, I would put the majority of money into UK science and tech innovations.I encourage VCs and the UK Government to put money back into the UK entrepreneurial market to fund AI, Fusion, aerospace, defence, theoretical physics etc.Brits need to get that belief we can change the world. Believe that your limits are only as big as you are able to dream.If I was prime minister, I would invest into tech and AI.1.3Bn AI bill stopped.How to save science in the UK.The UK is the most talent dense country on earth.
Wait for it… I actually see Ultraviolet! UV! #uv #science Jimmy Atom 2024-08-30 | Phones are incredible to actually see far more of the electromagnetic spectrum than we can! I get a little excited when I can actually see Ultra Violet! Juts above violet in the visible light range of the EM spectrum is UV, and it's awesome to see it!Now we can't see UV, in fact, we can't even see violet! Violet is actually our brain making up the colour, so my occipital lobe is showing me its rendition of UV as our photopigments only have RGB cones.
Do you have a gas cooker? Watch this now. Jimmy Atom 2024-08-13 | I’ve been playing around with my PM2.5 monitor mainly to test local car pollution because I recently moved near a motorway so I wanted to see how dangerous the pollution was from a distance of around 200 metres.Many years ago I worked for an asbestos company so I’m acutely aware of the dangers that particles of a certain size can have on the body. PM2.5 is conclusively responsible for millions of deaths as a pollutant.Maximum safety levels of Particulate Matter 2.5 are less than 5 micrograms per cubic metre of air. Because air is a gas, solid particles don’t hang around for too long. Or so I thought, even though I’m aware of Brownian motion. Every day I check my PM meter and it’s consistently around 3 micro grams every single day. A safe level.So you can imagine my shock when I brought it out to my gas stove cooker. It seems obvious that the flames we see from the cooker are just part of the fuel that is being ignited. So much more is left in the atmosphere. I am a terrible cook but have started cooking a little more to try and be healthier. Or so I thought.But little did I know the air in my kitchen was 100x the safety limits, I mean it’s not an understatement to say that gas stoves are shortening our lives drastically- this should be highly publicised because a recent study showed that children breathing in PM2.5 of over 150 micro grams per cubic metre had 3x higher hospitalisation rates. And my cooker is showing 3x this amount so I cannot imagine how bad this is for parents cooking for their children and having no idea of the harm it’s causing.
For humans is CO2 the main immediate issue or PM2.5? #shorts #co2 #pollution #health Jimmy Atom 2024-08-13 | Yes Co2 warms the atmosphere, we are also told that Co2 is bad for humans. Total car and human Co2 emissions total around 15Bn tonnes, all trees and global vegetation absorb around 15Bn tonnes. Industry again double this amount, and some.Less talked about is PM2.5, particles that are 2.5 microns in diameter and can cause harm to humans. I discovered this after moving next to a motorway! And noticed far more respiratory issues in my area. The harmful pollutants from cars are more CO (Carbon Monoxide) and PM2.5.Safe levels are less than 5 micrograms per cubic metre of air. Brownian motion help some particles stay in gas (air) luckily they dissipate pretty quickly so if you’re far enough away from the main road it’s ok.Most London streets are double the recommended amount so I feel so sorry for the local shop workers!Plant trees and plants in your house to negate some of the PM2.5 from cars.
What do Electromagnetic (EM) waves look like? Jimmy Atom 2024-08-13 | Bir rusty guys, first video for 2 years! I continue studying physics and always have ideas I want to share, so just got the camera out, and will improve again.EM fascinates me so much! Electromagnetic waves are at the foundation level of everything we use from our communications to our telescopes, to our most valuable sense; vision.I always thought visible light EM waves would interact with the internal parts of the retina which would also be 400-700nm, but I realised that an antennae uses a different type of resonance compared to discrete photons exciting electrons in biological Carbon molecules.Mantis shrimp can see millions of times more colours than we can, imagine that? If I said to a blind person "imagine the colour red", this would be similar for a non-blind person trying to imagine how a mantis shrimp could see.I rant on a bit about some incredible discoveries through EM from cancer therapy and through the different rays that us humans know and understand. But I also touch on the WOW signal and the OMG particle, which show the true potential power of photons (around 4g per photon) and the potential to find ETs. I am sure whatever types of new propulsion we discover, if they are not heavily using electrostatics, that they will work based on the fundamentals of EM.Let me know how you found the video and let me know if you would like me to touch on any other subjects.Cheers!
Transatlantic internet cables- this is how you access the Internet #shorts Jimmy Atom 2023-04-26 | 99% of your data goes through these cables, not satellites. Although there are 17 cables connecting Europe to the US, only a few of them are used for each country in Europe.Within each 1-2 inch transatlantic cable there are hundreds of fibre optic cables each thinner than a strand of hair at 0.0003 inches and each cable can carry multiple wavelengths of light-carrying data up to 800Gbps per strand.This is truly fine engineering.#internet #data #cables #light #science

Wifi is a 1 dimensional wave, dense pose allowed 2D rendering of RGB images estimating the position of the subjects. There are many uses for this technology such as knowing when elderly people fall over or intruders enter a private property.
