Awesome! The one with the sustained source loop is my favorite:

Also, the one that shoots out flames paints a picture similar to how a synchrotron behaves, shooting out X-rays into the beamlines as the electron bunches move around.

Upon looking into it closer, the synchrotron is a bit of a mixture of those two concepts - the source loop (booster ring) that is fed by the linear accelerator, and then the larger loop (storage room) that feeds X-rays the beamlines. Of course, many details differ, but still it is interesting to notice the similarities !

No real use for it, but a cool bit of scientific discovery.

There could be some use for it in detonation front research. Rotating detonation engines biggest issue is keeping the detonation front alive and active.

Tbh, it's what I enjoy about his videos in particular. He will run into or be shown a relatively mundane thing, but then dig into just for the sake of his (and our) curiosity. It's low-stakes science that still cares enough to dig past the surface layer of discovery

He also does a fairly good job citing his sources, which is nice to see in a popular content creator.

Reminds me of shock tube, which is always fun to wrap oneself in and ignite on a cold Army morning.
