2. Cyrille commented 6 years ago on video Paper Towel Raft (Floating Smartphone Trick)
#2 It think it's actually the worse part. I thought the paper towel has hydrophobic because of a cool physics trick.
Nope, it's hydrophobic because it has been covered with an hydrophobic spray, what a surprise...

5. Cyrille commented 7 years ago on video Russian cyclist evades death
#6 I don't know the traffic code in Russian but where I live, the arrows in the middle of the road are not suggestions, and the white stripped triangle in the middle of the intersection is not supposed to be crossed.
From what I see, the bicyclist was supposed to turn right, and I wouldn't be surprised if some insurance companies could use that fact against him.

The car driver was clearly not paying enough attention, but the bicyclist was clearly on the wrong lane.
Maybe the driver thought he would already have turned right by the time.
Not saying he deserved it, but he really needs to be more careful.

I'm not an expert, but I think the blades of the compressor are not properly oriented, as they appear to "push" the air from the turbine to the front of the engine (look at 2:10).
Nice video though, but this fact ruined it.

The situation is also not good in Paris, France. The Seine river is at its highest level since decades. Some highway are underwater, some train transit systems are shutdown. Several cities around Paris have been evacuated, and hundred of thousands art pieces are currently moved out of museum's underground storage rooms.

18. Cyrille commented 8 years ago on video The Problem With Facebook
Well, the business models of Youtube or even Facebook is not that bad compared to academic publishing companies.
For those who are unfamiliar with this world, researchers have to pay publishing companies to get their work published, and also pay those companies to get access to the work of other. And of course, you are not getting paid for that, since you had to abandon your copyrights on the said work.
That's one of the main reasons why I left research.

#2 Electric fences use neither 220V nor 24V, but 10000V pulse generator. 24V wouldn't have stopped an angry elephant, and 220V could have been lethal. I'm sure thay did that because of the urgency of the situation, but I'm still a bit afraid about how these peoples handle animals.

27. Cyrille commented 8 years ago on video Stop a Douchebag - Bad Teacher
#3 Most wiper fluid nozzles are designed to work even at high speed, which means they'll not spray directly at your windshield, or the wind will prevent the fluid from reaching the top part of the windshield. If you activate them while not moving, you'll spray your roof or the car behind you.
I don't know in which part of Europe you live, but here in France you don't run someone over if he is in your way. Even if this person deliberately jumped on you car.

#20 What was more surprising to me when I went to the US is that people drive on ALL lanes and are allowed to overtake (well, technically undertake) from an internal lane.
In most european countries, internal lanes can be used only if you are going faster than cars on the external ones or if there is no place for your car on the external lanes. Undertaking is also forbidden.

#5 #6 Well, apparently, I'm not the only one.
Appart from that, this looks like a early model of Fiat Panda. It weights ~700kg, most of the weight is in the front (61% according to http://www.otodata.com/cars/Fiat/Panda-30/61706.html, even if it's not the same model), and since it is not a straight lift, 150kg does not seems that wrong.
Beside, the point was not to be precise, but to illustrate the fact that this guy has some muscles.

#2 Ever heard of "large scale DOS attack" ?
From what we can see, this can be easily scripted. With a few thousand computers and some spare time, a lot of videos could have been deleted very quickly. For example, 1000 computers, 1 request per second per computer, that's 3.6 millions video deleted in one hour. And these are small numbers, you can easily get your hand on more than 1000 computers and do more than 1 request per second. Of course, there are security routines to prevent this, but with a bit of luck...

#3 That's because the drum of water first sinks, then the water turns into vapor, which produces big bubbles. The bubbles need to push some lava to escape, which is why hot lava flows at the surface.
For the exact same reason, if you have some oil in fire in your kitchen, do NOT try to extinguish it with water. Use the proper fire extinguisher, or if it is just a pan/fryer in fire, lay a towel over to smoke it.

#22 (and all the others) Stop shouting "he deserved it". You have no idea what those people are fighting for. It didn't occured to you that the people in the car could be the bad guys? Doing a revolution is not about throwing molotov cocktails at random and innocent peoples, it's about fighting for your rights. And the history is full of people who died fighting some kind of authority for good causes.

The sin-wave played by the speaker will change the way the water flows out of the pipe. Since the camera capture the film at 24fps, if you play a 24Hz sound-wave, you get a static effect because the water flowing out of the pipe is synchronized with the framerate. Play a 23Hz sound-wave, and at each frame captured, the water will be a bit late, therefore it seems to flow backward.
Filming the weels of a moving car produces quite the same effect.

The explanation: a camera shooting at 24fps. Play a sine wave of 24Hz to get static water, 23Hz to get it flowing backward, 25Hz to get if flowing slowly forward.
Nb: The water ALWAYS flowing down, you don't cheat with gravity (at least not with a subwoofer). This is just an illusion (the same thing happen with the weels of a car on the TV).

#19 Yes and no. In France, in a city, a bike is allowed to ride in the middle of a lane in order to prevent any event happening on the right side (a parked car open it's door for example). Outside of a city, we have the right to occupy one meter on the right side of the road.
Aside from that, a driver has to leave 1m between its car and a bike (1.5m outside of a city).

#1 Actually, this camera is not able to take a picture of a running bullet (the bullet is way too slow).
And it's not really sooting at 10^12fps, it's the time to capture an image wich is equal to 10^-12s.
But the camera that is used here is linear, which means it has a resolution of XXX by 1 pixel (that's why you can see some kind of lines on the video of the bottle).
In order to take an image, you have to vertically scan the scene and reconstruct the image.
And by synchronizing the camera with a pulsing laser, you can see photons moving through space and bouncing on objects, which is pretty cool !
BTW: Shooting 1ns of real time video takes 1 hour...

As mentioned in #10, TGV record was done with a special train: larger wheels, bigger motor, reduced number of wagon, and the section of rails was choosed especially to break the record because the slope was helping.
That's a shame that in France we abandonned the Aerotrain project, it surely would have led to a Maglev-like train, many years ago.

This slight weight variation is amplified because the rod is rotating fast, which bends it more, which makes it more out of balance, which bends it even more...
You usually prevent this by providing support to the rod using rolling elements (to keep it perfectly aligned with its axis).
