How to Make Minimalist Running/Climbing Shoes at Home

Easy Heat from #DIY Solar Thermal Panels
In this video I decided to make a #SolarHeatingPanel with design features that will be compatible with #SkyCooling later on. Solar heating is a very efficient method of using #SolarEnergy, with the ability to absorb 900-1000w/m2 of heat from sunlight, compared to only 200-300w/m2 of electricity that could be generated from a similarly sized standard solar panel.

Making Infrared #CoolingPaint From Grocery Store Items (w/Novel CaCO₃ Microsphere Synthesis)

Citizen scientist and youtuber #NightHawkInLight invented an easy method of producing sky cooling paint at home with common grocery and hardware store items. 🤯

This kind of paint could be used to cool buildings passively. It radiates heat at certain wavelengths which pass directly to the cold space.

Continuing this series, Ben of NightHawkInLight is a wealth of information with a knack for showing how things work or are created in a practical manner.

His most recent video demonstrates how natural fiber rope is crafted - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHDC70iC5jg

And one of his best videos IMO covers crafting Senko Hanabi sparklers which are mind-bogglingly non-flamable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3-ucafI1MY
