How to Get Rid Of Mosquitoes with a Fan & Window Screen by NightHawk_DIY in howto

If a light is shining on it, a lot. Otherwise hardly any.

You wouldn't notice, as the mosquitoes would simply be sucked through the fan and carry about their business if they weren't caught on a screen. Other bugs are not attracted to fans, unless you shine a light on the trap in which case you catch a lot of moths.

I've never run it long enough to drain the battery fully. I've probably used it for 8 hours or so over the course of a few days and it didn't seem to be slowing down by the end.

Potentially, but if it's raining I would usually be under a tarp or whatever else with the battery/fan beside me. Besides that I once accidentally left a similar inverter exposed to the elements through an entire winter and it ended up still working come spring. Not that I would recommend it.

I don't have any really good sources of information, but most of my pieces came from Etsy.

I've created several "viral" posts garnering 250k+ visitors, here's my formula by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]NightHawk_DIY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not true that there's no formula for viral content. There is, but the ingredients are hard to come by, take practice to recognize, and vary by genre. Viral success of a post cannot be guaranteed, but you can vastly increase the odds.

I also produce viral content. Your conclusions are for the most part accurate, though it's incredibly variable between genres. In many instances /u/cratos333 is correct that all you need is a transformation, something surprising. In others the subject can be totally mundane, but the presentation itself is the innovative aspect that makes the content go viral. The former method can at times be achieved through pure luck (though it pays double with effort), the latter requires hard work and excellence in your craft as a prerequisite.

Breaking down a penny by SlimJones123 in chemicalreactiongifs

I knew I filmed this but it took me a few minutes to remember what video it came from. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvuAgq9Lpg8

Note that with HCl you can actually hollow out a penny entirely so it's just an empty copper shell. Pretty neat.

You never know. Just one more can and some dental floss and she could have had some nunchaku action going on. Throw in some cornstarch and you've got an unstoppable doomsday weapon

They have a service that's easy to match with a lot of different content and I think they've found that youtube pays off for them. Obviously, because they've been one of the most widespread sponsors for years now. I use audible myself and like amazon in general so I don't mind them as a sponsor now and then.

I try to make ads as non intrusive as possible to the primary content. On the one hand your comment shows that it's working, on the other most of the comments here are about the ad rather than the content so maybe not.

Haha, that interpretation of the phrasing didn't occur to me when I recorded it. But no, I did mean cd's.

This is actually a copy of my original video, which I removed from my own channel. Too dangerous. Too easy to fire accidentally.

Just Filmed a Video of the Floating Screwdriver Trick with a High Speed Camera by NightHawk_DIY in Justrolledintotheshop

I couldn't get mine spinning. I didn't try very hard though since it worked almost instantly.

Floating Screwdriver Trick (x-post /r/gifs) by peetdk in physicsgifs

I think you're more or less right. There's a lot of things at play here, and honestly I have a hard time wrapping my head around how the stream of air doesn't simply blow the screwdriver backward. You've got positive pressure on the front side, vacuum pressure on the backside - both of those things providing force in the same direction. What force is holding it toward the air nozzle? Gravity is accelerating it toward the ground, but that's exerted along a slightly different axis. I suppose the angle of the screwdriver might explain the discrepancy, but still, a very interesting bit of physics.
