Is Triton, The Underwater Breathing Gill, A Scam?
We recently covered the fact that Triton, the supposed underwater breathing gill, has raised over $600,000 in crowd-funding however how viable is this device and is it science fiction?

Cold Fire You Can Touch — DIY Cold Plasma Torch
Plasma is the 4th state of matter and it comes in many flavors. You probably know it from it’s greatest hits, fire and lightning, but there is a lot more to plasma than most people are aware of. Cold plasma is my personal favorite as it has the same beautiful glow that all plasma have, but it’s no warmer than room temp and feels cold to the touch. In this video we go through my year long journey to harness this weird state of matter into a torch that can be used for future experiments and in the lab.

Q2 Self Charging Generator — Charge Accelerator
An explanatory intro of the new 24V Q2 Charge Accelerator.
Also intended as an experimental example of a Quanta Charger equipment extension.
The Q2 also has the ability to recycle a portion of the energy required to operate its system by internally recharging Ultracapacitors (Boostcaps) that run the motor/generator combination machine.
