Physics experiments in glorious HD!
Physics videos from the Institute of Physics, Skopje
This month saw the upload of the first round of high-definition videos of experiments conducted to demonstrate various laws and principles of physics. These 20 demonstrations were performed by Prof. Oliver Zajkov at the Physics Institute at the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University of Skopje, as part of a WikiExperiments project by Shared Knowledge.
The experiments are in the process of receiving their proper descriptions in Macedonian and English, and are being added to articles on various language editions of Wikipedia. Although they are without narration, there was an idea to add closed captions explaining what is going on in various languages.
The Second of the two rounds of of experiments are currently being recorded. The editing of the raw footage should start in January 2016, and they will subsequently be uploaded.
The full gallery of experiments can be found at Category:Physics experiments by Shared Knowledge.
