Supercon 2022: Samy Kamkar's Glowing Breath

Рік тому

Sometimes the journey itself is the destination. This one started when [Samy] was 10 and his mom bought a computer. He logged on to IRC to talk with people about the X-Files and was WinNuked. Because of that experience, modulo a life of hacking and poking and playing, the talk ends with a wearable flex-PCB Tesla coil driving essentially a neon sign made from an ampule of [Samy]’s own breath around his neck. Got that? Buckle up, it’s a rollercoaster.

You're awesome man... Had I not learned or been inspired so much from you, as well as so many other brilliant people on here and around the net, I don't know what I would have done with myself the past several years. I can't thank you enough for sharing such unique and awesome creations and journeys through information. You're a legend.

A metal chain would make it glow more intense I'm guessing from seeing it getting brighter when you touch it with your fingers.

thanks to this i realised that radio waves are streams of photons and the only reason they can go through objects unlike light is because their frequency is higher . this talk made alot of things click for me . things i already knew but didnt understand intuitively

Why does this have so few views and likes 😢 this guys method is so reminiscent of my own artistic practice. I’m always too afraid to ask for the help of experts, but you’ve inspired me to step outside my comfort zone in a whole new way. Stay curious!
