★★★★ · DON'T FUCK WITH SCIENCE LADY · Spuzz · 2014-02-21

After watching Electromagnetism, I went to this film, which is definitely an opposite grade in terms of teaching. Obviously you need to know a fair amount about electricity, math and science to figure out what this passionate lady is demonstrating. But still, quite fascinating, because, well, where else can you see this type of film? Didn't understand one word of it (didn't help the volume seemed low on this one), but was entertained the same.

Yes. A picture tube (or any CRT) works like this. The oscillator in a TV turns the beam's direction, I think 560 times a second.
