How to Make an Origami Boomerang

by admin on July 27, 2010


In this latest addition to my origami series, I will show you how to make a paper boomerang that really comes back!! To check out my throws, go to 1:02 (click here) in the video. In this tutorial, I will explain how to turn a regular sheet of printer paper into an origami boomerang… well actually 2 origami boomerangs!! :-) You will need a simple Printer sheet (8.5 x 11 inches). Please note, I say A4 in the video, but that is slightly different than letter paper. I believe both A4 and letter paper should work. No tape or anything else is required. I also explain at the end the way we must position the boomerang in order to throw it properly. This will keep you busy for hours and is fun for all ages. Once you show off your boomerang to friends, they are definitely going to want one! Please refer them to this video if you enjoy! :-) Hope that everyone had a great break and got to spend time with the family :-) It has been a great year! Thanks for watching and don’t forget to comment, rate, and subscribe to my videos. Thanks! -Rob **Origami Boomerang** Inspired by Yoshino Unemoto Modified by Ryan Naccavato, Jim Cowling, and John Andrisan Online Instructions: Part 1 – www.giladorigami.com Part 2 – www.giladorigami.com

How to Make Hot Ice – The Complete Guide

by admin on July 27, 2010


The complete guide to making hot ice and sodium acetate. How to create it, fix it, and use it. All methods from baking soda and vinegar to laboratory synthesis are shown. A full article on this video can be found at: sites.google.com The basis for hot ice is sodium acetate trihydrate, which is heated above its melting point and then cooled below its melting point so it’s supercooled. It’s still liquid and quickly solidifies when a seed crystal is introduced. You cannot use copper pots because the vinegar seems to dissolve copper upon boiling, contaminating your product and damaging your pot.
