When I TA'd a few introductory physics classes as an undergraduate, one of the professors used to like to show a particular video. I *think* it was of a set of demonstrations shown to the Air Force cadets, at the Academy in Colorado Springs, but I could be entirely wrong. The pacing was very fast, and the demonstrator was an older man, brusque, accented, and excellent. He jumped "categories" a lot, from Rubens' tube to experiments with light to pendulums, and never really explained what was going on, but everyone loved it and got interested.
Does anyone know what this could have been? If so, is it possible to find a copy of that performance?
Best wishes,
Curtis O.
