WATCH OUTTAKES HERE: http://testtube.com/hardscienceextras/led-bsides?utm_source=YTdesc&utm_medium=HS&utm_campaign=HSBS6 MAKE YOUR OWN LED THROWIES! http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Throwies/ No metal building is safe as we load up a T-shirt cannon with LED throwies and take to the night! Join Anthony and Tara as they create street art with light and make it rain LEDs. Experiment Tips: -10mm or 5mm LED lights work well -An underhand throw gives a more accurate aim -We rented a T-Shirt cannon ($300/week) to add to the fun Clean up: -Remove the throwies from the ferromagnetic surface, materials can be reused and recycled LED History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode The first visible-spectrum (red) LED was developed in 1962 by Nick Holonyak, Jr., while working at General Electric Company. Holonyak is considered by some people as the "father of the light-emitting diode". LED Applications http://leefsrilanka.blogspot.com/2012/10/light-emitting-diodes-life-enlightening.html LEDs are used in: Traffic lights and signals, exit signs, motorcycle and bicycle lights, remote controls, railroad crossing signals and more How To Build Your Own T-Shirt Cannon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgCz7C6jEIk Join Anthony Carboni and Tara Long as they turn the world around them into a giant science experiment.
