The Internet – 1967
Incredibly accurate vid illustrating eCommerce and other functions we take for granted now… only catch is, this video was created 41 years ago!
This is probably one of my favorite clips on this site.
The official blurb:
Clip from the 1967 film 1999 A.D. in which we see the family of the future shopping, paying bills and using electronic mail from home.
How To: Hijack a Fast Food Drive Radio
Sweet video showing how to take apart a CB radio and implement a crystal from a toaster to gain access to the frequency Taco Bell uses to manage the drive through requests.

How to Turn a Sphere Inside Out
This sphere is made of an abstract elastic material… it can stretch, bend and pass through itself. You cannot rip or punchture this material without destroying it.. AND you cannot crease it or bend it sharply…
So, how do you do it?
Binary Adding Machine
Made with wood and marbles. This is an ingenious way to explain how binary numbers are created.
Robo-Slut

24 in ’94
College Humor did a fantastic job with this sketch. The premise is the show 24 set in 1994. Awesome.
Super Mario Bros Theme on Tesla Coils
Another musical one for ya. This time it’s the infamous theme song from Super Mario Brothers played by TWO Tesla Coils. Here is an additional blurb of info regarding this clip:
Twin Solid State Musical Tesla coils playing Mario Bros theme song at the 2007 Lightning on the Lawn Teslathon sponsored by DC Cox (Resonance Research Corp) in Baraboo WI.
The music that you hear is coming from the sparks that these two identical high power solid state Tesla coils are generating. There are no speakers involved. The Tesla coils stand 7 feet tall and are each capable of putting out over 12 foot of spark. They are spaced about 18 feet apart. The coils are controlled over a fiber optic link by a single laptop computer. Each coil is assigned to a midi channel which it responds to by playing notes that are programed into the computer software. These coils were constructed by Steve Ward and Jeff Larson. Video was captured by Terry Blake. What is not obvious is how loud the coils are. They are well over 110dB.
And now the vid…
Inside a Harddrive
Half of this hard drive is covered by a clear plastic case and it allows you to see the HD as it works. Check out he speed at which the disk spins… It’s amazing how the arm is able to accurately switch to specific bands within fractions of a second.
