Sorry for Publishing Late - I had the movie night (which I planned in STUCO) yesterday and wasn't able to record then.

In this episode we talk about why electric cars aren't really selling as fast as they did before, and also talk about a possible way to solve for that, along with something known as a Swap. I also ask YOU some questions on how you could help solve it. Make sure to listen to the next episode for my thoughts on it!

Today on the show we'll be talking about how ships and hot air balloons float using the power of displacement of fluids and archimedes principle. You'll understand all of that in this episode. We'll also talk about density and why a simple object like a block of wood floats, and why a block of steel, doesn't.

I also basically just take my science lessons from the previous two months and condense (no pun intended) it into one podcast.

Sorry for the bad audio quality, and the sort of loud music, I was having really bad technical glitches with my rodecaster - the music wasn't working.

In this episode we talk about - well - electricity! We talk about how it's made and how it is distributed to us using generators turbines and wires. We also talk about how not to blow up your computer.

Also - My Birthday is in TWO DAYS!

Please note: This topic was more on the difficult side for me, so please do excuse me if I don't do as good of a job explaining things as in other podcasts. However, I do always strive to make my facts correct. I also will not be publishing a podcast next week as I need to finish up my High School application essays,
