what song is playing sites the song There is a property of matter T-minus ten seconds of life hey is your TV on if it is that's great you're using electricity but if you're watching the show and your TV is not on tell me what is electricity mean where does it come from is it just sitting in the wall waiting for us to use it or is it constantly spilling out sakesan we don't notice how can something so powerful be invisible electricity is the flow of tiny particles called Electra is there not just smaller than atoms they're actually part of atoms take a look at this battery powered electrical circuit of science we're going to run big white but this big battery watch electrons can flow from this side of the battery through this wire switch through this wire in the light and back to this side of the battery there flowing in a closed path what scientists call an electrical circuit circuit electrons right now can go around an electrical surface the full of electrons don't get it watch when I operate this great big water pump of science the other side through this hose back to the pump it's a closed path for the flow of water it's all water it's just electric electricity electricity can do all kinds of different jobs and they're all done with electrons there are a lot of water flow through host I got the flow going we can do work bumper cars have electric motors electricity runs from the ceiling in the car if you don't get a shot from the floor unless you can touch the ceiling at the same time otherwise it's not a complete circuit did you know that Kitty bad play refrigerator make them last longer your brain uses the same power as a 10 watt light bulb  cold metal conduct electricity better than hot metal there's enough electricity coming out of the wall to stop your heart so don't stick anything but a plug in a socket be careful this is Godzilla's hair dryer thing Jessup it has two rails but just goes one side to the motor and an engine that the other side so where does electricity come from anyway well in 1831 two scientists figured out how to make electricity was Michael Faraday working in Britain and Joseph Henry working United States in about the same time they both did an experiment something like this Michael Faraday took a coil choir any moved it over a magnet when he did electricity started to flow in this coil the electricity went down over here to another coil and made a compass needle move Michael Faraday was doing this experiment for an audience and a woman came up to him afterwards and said Mr Faraday of lucky if you said Madame will you tell me the use of a newborn child watching I have a coil wire way over here and I'm making a couples me over there with no Apparent Source let me hear some spectacular right now with no apparent one day we will it's going to be a big deal thank you for joining me on consider the phone don't think those are enough and it's working on electric cars at Western Washington University legal research institute electric hybrid car electric cars electricity electricity is used to drive to electric motors in the front and electric motor in the back electricity is the flow of electrons electrons are the tiny particles that buzz around the outside of atoms and electrons are able to jump one atom to another TriCity materials Metals electrons can jump from atom to atom very easily atoms in metals don't you be like the bees buzzing around the Heinz when electricity flows from high dive you can make an electrical circuit and figure out what things let electrons go through then and what things up hook up a circuit like this the tricky part of the circuit this is getting the better stay put with that all worked out testing to see if electricity goes through them and what things pictures of metal things carry electricity pretty well and rubber and plastic things don't try this a pencil snot pencil flip hat check it out it changes the surface complete but the pencil that is holding some electricity back things that let electricity go through them I don't I got insulation this can be color is this it's somewhere between a conductor and an insulator and let some electrons but not off wild wild electrical circuits and water circuits both have and think about it sometimes when you go up to a drinking fountain the water comes out just fine but other times other drinking fountains it hardly comes out at all that's because it doesn't have enough pressure  in electrical circuits there's pressure to its called  voltage higher the voltage the more electrons want to jump the number of electrons flowing through a wire we call amperage or just amps answer like the amount of if it's coming out of a drinking fountain the more amps the more electrons so in electricity you end up with two things voltage volts and amperage or amps boots and pants boots and pants the same way with water we end up with pressure and flow pressure and flow pressure and Flow now the combination of volts and amps we call Watts Watts you know about 100 watt bulb needs more watts than a 40 my fault I mean it's a bigger number that's a lot play me some hour exercising see the generator is connected to the exercise bicycle wheel for running the generator completing a circuit and we're turning that light bulb on it takes a lot of power to run electric light bulb it takes a lot of Watts Watts electrical power 100 watt light bulb takes a hundred watts of power that's a lot of power that's a lot of what make it burn stop down electrons are pushed by chemical reactions like in batteries or they get pushed my generators now I need to find someone push me batteries and hot dogs are a lot of like no kidding is a piece of meat with a roll around it inside a battery there's a Long Rod with a can around now between the rod and can and some goofy Kim called electrolytes now that's what makes electricity flow between a hot dog and a row or some goofy chemicals does rolls know if you put a hotdog in a flashlight 7 habits what's the right chemicals to make electricity flow on a battery does and those chemicals would make electricity flow from one end of the battery to the other no in the cozaar used up the electricity stops and the battery is dead but batteries are a good compact source of energy so hot dogs electricity can be dangerous there's enough power in a wall socket like this to bring your just be careful hey  so now it's time to feed her famous electric eel this is a South American electric eel is found only in South America they can produce up to 800 volts at 1 and 1/2 amps if you were to put your hand into this now with the fish just one hand your hand would probably fly out when he discharged his me did you put your hands in there you'll probably be electrocuted imagine if you had all this water falling from here down over 100 m you could generate six-and-a-half kilowatt electricity Grand Coulee Dam in Washington state of USA listed a bucket of water you know water flows from the top of the huge generators really cute dream I mean Piggly Wiggly hugely big generator 6849000 kilowatts to watts what's Electric Power electric power that runs from here to millions of homes that people like you can watch, just like video games and pop popcorn tell me about have toasted card from your toaster the morning at breakfast  we use electricity all day what's the time in Louisville that where it comes from once it's generated electricity makes travel hundreds of kilometers to power lines before it gets to our homes  quote when we make electricity with a magnet and a coil of wire either the magnet or the coil has to be moving I noticed that the coil is he the right side up or upside-down right-side up upside down and the electricity that gets made goes this way or that way this way that way we save alternating we call it alternating current or AC then we make electricity with batteries electricity only goes in one direction we say it's direct or Dees so this is DC AC and PC PC That's What I Call popcorn we've known for years that the sun is wonderful source of energy but there's things that we need to learn about it we are trying to gather some information to make technically viable  photovoltaic cell is basically just a little tiny sale that you shine some light on it and get electricity calculator Photo Vault and basically that's so basically the calculator power birds can simply sit on one of the wires on power lines because then their bodies don't complete a circuit relax or some science fiction movies they complete circuit switch for electricity to do work it has to flow in a complete Loop that's called a circuit turning on a switch completes a circuit turn it off break salute turn on the lights I can't see  no such thing batteries coming this holiday season all movie that will brighten your spirits will it jello it's one boy's journey into a life without direct current here it sucks mom. What do you mean the battery is dead call from the director of compass man comes It's a Wonderful Life Grandpa Grandpa Grandpa how you doing I can't hear you battery can one boy survive in a world without batteries  the battery might be dead this plug fits in this socket perfectly but this plug is from Europe and it doesn't fit in our sun know what countries different style plug for their electricity but notice that they all have two prong that's because electricity has to flow in a loop so it goes who won prom through this wire during Appliance like this blender then out the other side and back into the wall it's a circuit that good Stay lyrics I think so with it don't do no be on but not on MTV current call DP it looks like I might do the bus but the current and your wall is known in a minute so don't do that song baby doll mermaid AC DC charge. they're beautiful aren't they all those electrons flowing through all those conductors and complete circuits in all that the light it's great it's electricity well what real funny soundation exercise bicycle wheel Powers this light bulb check fix 100 watts to run a 100 watt light bulb 100 watt that's a lot of Watts that's a lot of power power that jenergy for you to time your furnace don't slow down make it burn the same thing that makes this happen makes this happen and this listen to Sawyer sites rules inertia is a property of matter T minus 7 Seconds brought to you by electrons making your world of lighter hey is your TV on if it is that's great you're using electricity but if you're watching the show and your TV is not on what is electricity mean where does it come from is it just sitting in the wall waiting for us to use it or is it Choice filling out of sockets and we don't notice how can something so powerful be invisible or electricity is the flow of tiny particles Electro and they're not just smaller than atoms they're actually part of atoms take a look at this we're going to run this big life but this big battery watch electrons flow from this side of the battery threw the switch through this wire in the light and back to this side of the battery there flowing in a closed pan with Scientists call an electric circuit Circle word for go around so electrons right now can go around and electrical surface the full of electrons the flow of what  but I operate this great big water pump of science water goes through this hopes in this box and what are wheel go around  it goes out the other side and through this hose back to the pump it's a closed path for the it's just what the flow of electrons through electrical circuit electricity is a very versatile form of energy the same electron electricity can do all kinds of different jobs and they're all done with electrons SpongeBob draw wire are a lot left water flow through hose at the flow going we can do work bumper cars have electric motors the electricity runs from the motor in the car she don't get a shot from the floor unless you can touch the ceiling at the same time otherwise it's not a complete circuit did you know that getting batteries in the refrigerator make them last longer  your brain uses the same power as a 10 watt light bulb  cold metal conducts electricity better than hot metal well you know there's enough electricity coming out of the wall to stop your heart so don't stick anything but a plug in a sock be careful this is Godzilla's hair dryer what's an electric train has two rails but to sing one side to the motor in the engine back up the other side so where does electricity come from anyway well in 1831 two scientists figured out how to electricity was Michael Faraday working in Britain and Joseph Henry working United States in about the same time they both did an experiment something like this Michael are they took a coil of wire and he moved it over a man when he did electricity started to flow in this coil the electricity went down over here another coil and made a compass needle move a Michael Faraday was doing this experiment for an audience and a woman came up to him afterwards and said Mr Faraday what you tell me the use of a newborn child office needle without touching it goes over here and I'm making a couple something's happening here so spectacular practice happening right now with no apparent force one day we will be a big thank you for joining me on consider the following I think those are enough and it's working on electric cars at Western Washington University vehicle Research Institute if I can 21 and electric hybrid car Rock and 21 is the Forerunner of electric cutaway steam engines with Kathleen Coffey electric hybrid
