95 CleanVideoThe Marangoni Effect: How to make a soap propelled boat! The differences of surface tension between soap and water can really make things go! This video shows some interesting demos illustrating the Marangoni Effect. Two liquids with different surface tensions will result in a surface tension gradient, resulting in a net force. This phenomena applies to each of the demonstrations shown. Watch a demonstration of how Marangoni stress can be used to propel small boats around (the "soap-powered boat"). 1/22/2013 Free View in iTunes

96 CleanVideoShifts in Equilibrium Equilibrium occurs when the overall state of a system is constant. Equilibrium can be static (nothing in the system is changing), or dynamic (little parts of the system are changing, but overall the state isn't changing).

Don't assume this stuff is for high school students....

It was a very pleasant review and I have learned some new things along the way.
The presentation of the subjects are entertaining and informative.

Love that you can learn about topics and ideas not usually brought up in every day conversation or what one is exposed to through by means of daily media.

Interesting and Easy to Digest

by Jskandksmakxkcndmsksm

This course has lots of small videos with interesting info that's well laid out. They are all different subjects too, so I feel like I'm learning a lot!
