@AlphaPhoenix

I'm Brian Haidet - an artist, physicist, maker, and Hawaiian shirt enthusiast, currently working on my PhD in materials science. On this channel, You'll find my side projects and favorite physics demos - I hope you enjoy!

My publish "schedule" is pretty sporadic, so I don't want to go the Patreon route, but I've had some people saying they want to support the channel (which is awesome!), so if you want to pitch something in, the easiest thing is to tip my Thingiverse account via PayPal. Thank you so much to those who want to help out! More than cash, I appreciate any advice on my projects, technically, artistically, or on the videos themselves - leave a comment - let me know what you think! Thanks!
