Fun fact about that buddha mirror: The technology was used by the Japanese during the period where Christianity was outlawed so that Christians could identify each other.
@@TheHorseOutside That "fish" happens to be the only way Early Christians can identify each other in a time they are persecuted. The Romans are all too familiar with the Cross as a Christian symbol and also mirror tech in 1600 Japan is WAY more advanced than the mirror tech of roman times (it doesn't even exist)...
Tim! Here are some solar toy ideas: Radiometer (also called solar windmills,) different types of prisms (cube, rod, faceted crystals, etc,) the figurine of the Queen waving her hand 👋🏻
Does anyone else watch Tim’s videos before bed to get relaxed? I find his voice seems to mellow my thought patterns or something. It happens instantly too. Tim talks, I’m relaxed
In Kindegarden we made something like the metal flower out of paper an put it on a water surface, it has the same effect and was really beautiful after we painted the petals :)
Wonderful trinkets. What makes me a little sad is knowing how many modern manufacturers if cheap calculators put in fake solar panels - many do stickers, but some will put in plastic replica solar panels to fool people. Of course they don't list them as solar powered calculators and it is probably done so they can have one plastic body mold (to save money), but I wish they'd put on a logo sticker/panel rather than a fake solar panel sticker/panel.
I tried looking up Solar Toys, but I couldn't find any clever ones... I thought of one that my father have, or used to have which was a solar powered version of the hat with a small electric fan on the shade part of it, which you showcased in the video titled *"Hats off for Tim - Part 1",* albeit, battery powered in that one, but it DOES come in a Solar Powered version; for strong sunlight when you are most likely going to need this hat! 😉
Love your videos Tim. Small correction is that the parabola mirror cigarette lighter is not exactly based on the infrared rays. It would just work as well with normal light too. Maybe a bit less powerful.
