We use this box so often and so effortlessly that it may just seem like magic in the way it so efficiently makes our food edible. However, the heat from a microwave and the heat from your stove is vastly different, but both can still burn you. Microwaves target food almost surgically, heating it up more effectively than other methods. The future even consists of instant cooling technology, almost like a reverse microwave. Tune in to learn even more!

This is a device that is crucial to communicating in the modern world, and is one that all of us are definitely familiar with. We use this device for hours on end, yet have remotely no clue on how it works.

Phones are basically a supercomputer in terms of what they are capable of. They're actually made up of multiple different systems that work together to create a device capable of everything you may ever wish for. In the future, they might even go as far as to being able to create 3D replicas of what you see right now. Tune in to learn about this new tech!

Windmills are one of the first things people think of when renewable energy is mentioned, and rightfully so, as this technology turns one of our most abundant resources into usable power. Windmills started from grain machines to now being held miles above ground, tethered only to the ground through a long rope. Wind technology is incredibly complex, and in this episode I'll be explaining how it works, where it came from, and where it's going to go.

Hope to see you here!

Have you ever wondered how our fastest mode of transportation came to be or worked? In this episode we talk about how flight really works, and how it originated from something as silly as trying to replicate the winged flight of birds. Listen to find out about how trips across the world may soon be cut nearly in half!

Hey everyone! Today we take a deep dive into microphones, which many of carry in our pockets everyday without even realizing it. In this episode I talk about this magnificent device that I and so many others rely on to be able to manipulate sound! I'll talk about how microphones are truly going to go a long way from the original carbon-based ones to futuristic laser ones, and so much more!

In this episode, we dive into a yet another thing you've probably noticed before but never stopped to think of how they worked. Cell towers are crucial to our daily life, taking over when Wi-Fi cannot. They keep us connected while traveling long distances, exploring remote areas, or just outside in public, where Wi-Fi is just impractical. Hit play to discover how cell towers work and how they may soon be replaced by satellites!

In this episode, we dive into one of the most influential creations of the 21st century, Wi-Fi. It's so important that the moment it stops working, everyone in the room immediately notices. We dive into how this creation changed from only being used by the government to being one of the most implemented technologies yet, and also discover how it works.
