I Made Some Youtube Lyric Videos

Windows Movie Maker made it very simple to make lyric videos and with Real Player Downloader i didn't even have to use my copy of the song. I just downloaded and converted another video with the song from youtube and converted it.

How to Make Hydrogen and Oxygen out of Water sort of a hydrogen fuel cell

Materials:

  1. Water
  2. Salt
  3. 9 Volt Battery, Lantern Battery (6 volt), or a Power Transformer (I used a 120 to 9 volt Power Transformer)
  4. Some Sort of Wire (I used a copper wire, paperclips would work but would be harder to use)
  5. Hot glue gun
  6. Pencil or Thick Single Strand Copper Wire (separate from above), these aren't completely needed and a pencil works best

Procedure:

  1. Fill a tub with warm water.
  2. Mix salt into water (It doesn't matter how much, just use a bunch).
  3. Tightly wrap one wire around some pencil lead (which works the best so far), other material mentioned in 6 or a different material (it has to conduct electricity). I haven't tried stainless steel but it would probably be better than pencil lead.
  4. Cover the wire you wrapped with hot glue completely. This is very important because if you don't it will be eaten away by the oxygen. This information comes in handy when picking a material to use in step 3.
  5. Wrap the other wire to some stripped single strand copper wire. This wire doesn't have to be hot glued but can be to help keep it attached. Coil the single strand wire into a ball.
  6. Fix wires to power source. The wire in step 3 to the + side. The wire in step 5 to the - side.
  7. Put the ends of the wires in the salt water. Bubbles will begin to rise.

The wire with copper attached is making Hydrogen. The other wire is making oxygen. You can collect the bubbles in jars or containers. Fill the container with water and put it upside down on one wire. Put some rocks on top to hold it down.

WARNING: HYDROGEN IS FLAMMABLE. It will burn very easily. BE CAREFUL!!!!!

These spines are huge. They grow all over some trees and can pop anything that hits them.

Big Leaves

















This short plant has huge leaves. The leaves I am comparing it to are honeysuckle leaves. I wonder what it is?

Running old Windows games on new Windows version

If you ever have a problem playing a older windows game or program on a new windows version right click the icon click properties compatibility tab. then check run in compatibility mode and select the correct version of windows.
I made a few stop animation movies with different stuff. I make them by taking a still picture then moving something a little and repeating the process. I put all the pictures on my computer. I go to the start menu-all programs-accessories-windows movie maker. I go into tools-options-advanced and set the picture durration to 0.125 seconds. Import the pictures,drag them to the timeline, save movie, and watch it back.
