- I show off a design I came up with in 12003 to view the sun. Never got to use it on the transit but works well for other things including eclipses like the one coming up.

Cody making a secret handshake with that object at the end
lol
PhagexLasher didn't you know he was a Mason
Hahaha, true!
It's the oldschool way of splitting rocks, using three wedges you push the rock apart until it cracks.
SCAMMER
If you stare at the sun long enough your body will develop natural permanent heavy duty sunglasses
Stupid-Face lol I suppose it would ;) heavy duty
Stupid-Face I tried it but I think my glasses are too strong. I can't see anything out of them!
My eclipse glasses are
Blindness 12000
Evolution!
Stupid-Face sounds like science to me
You're honestly the only cool science channel besides vsauce1 that does actual science and not "200 pounds of dry ice in pool" and I learn shit from your channel. I love you as a person and I hope to do atleast half the stuff you've done on your channel alone. Love the content keep it up
Joshua Hale veritasium has some cool stuff
I found his channel from watching veritasium. I think they should do a collab.
What about the King of Random?
+Bandit Leader hate his new style

Nah, I'll just look at it head on like a real man
Real men use a telescope
Jeffrey Choi real men use a twenty magnifying lenses connected to eachother
I use grant Thompson's solar scorcher and aim it right at my eye
I just use one of these i.ytimg.com/vi/1RNNlYiKxlc/hqdefault.jpg

I remember as a kid in 1990 we had a total solar eclipse in San Jose, California. I used my hands to make a circle to see the eclipse in the shadow on the ground. Even the shadows cast the by the leaves in the trees had crescent shadows. It was so cool!
I glad you mentioned that about the leaves making crescent shapes. I was quite young, it was in the early 1960s, my dad and I were looking at the ground. It was amazing.
psygn0sis I saw that too, during the partial eclipse of 1994!
psygn0sis You had a partial, not a total.
Pinhole sun
Won't you come
And wash away the raaaiiiin....

You just gave out your age, you're 25 or 26. You're really young for someone with so much expertise, good for you.
Not really, he's just smart and grew up in a situation that actually encouraged him.
Most people are either idiots or got ground into the dirt for being exceptional.
Joe Rusynyk like what is it in a video
Joe Rusynyk "just smart"? With the amount of content he's putting out plus school and everything else he's got going on, I'd say "really good at actually getting shit done". Being smart doesn't help if you're sitting around, which lots of "smart" people seem to spend a lot of time doing
Magnus Nyborg Madsen true
It's true that he is very smart for his age. He knows how to figure things out on his own quite well, which I understand is one way to measure intelligence. He certainly was raised in an environment that allowed his curiosity to thrive, but I think his passion and determination is really what allowed his knowledge to grow. If you're raised in the city, you rely on public schooling and libraries for most of your knowledge, but if you were born on a farm like him, it really takes hands on experience and figuring things out on your own.
Once again another great video Cody. I made 2 of these last night and they worked GREAT for the eclipse today. My two kids loved them and the group of strangers that gathered at our viewing spot we're very impressed with the viewer. Worked way better than the glasses everyone had. Thank you!
Next Cody's Lab video: leveling the sidewalk!
Always on TH-cam don't need notifications
BasicallyPlays yeah, me too
didnt expect you to be here bobby
Thanks Cody! I really enjoy your channel, your projects and talks.
Hey Team Cody's Lab. I enjoy your stuff. Been watching for a while now, so I have probably racked up quite a few hours. Thanks!
Thanks Cody!
Thanks Cody, that was a fun video
My whole family made these to watch the eclipse today. Kids loved it. Thanks Cody!
Thank you for making this video. I have been searching for an easy to do and understand eclipse project for our 8yr old son who we homeschool! Can't wait to get started!
I'm so hyped for the eclipse!
WE WANT CODYS MINE! (or codys shelter)

No, we just want Cody!
Gardening with Cody is the best
+psygn0sis
I'd preorder one. Would be awesome to have him explaining stuff and making me appreciate even the simplest stuff around me.
We want Cody's in telecommunications
Thanks Cody. The lens is a neat refinement for a single user. You can also project the image, without a lens, onto a sheet of white paper so that several people can see the enlarged image at the same time, with no danger of accidentally looking at the sun during setup. I made a pinhole camera out of drainpipe and baking foil, with an A4 viewing sheet, for viewing the same Venus transit that you saw, and it worked very well.
I freaking love that dude. the best. He's one of the fees guys who do sciemce vids for the actual pleasure of it. and has full knowledge about what he's doing
Ah i see this is a very futuristic build since. I checked the description Its crazy how things built in 12003 still work 10,000 years prior. I'm glad you could come back to show us this project Cody :)
KiZeTV he doesn't belive in a religion so he adds another 10000 years to cover all human history
Sneak peek at some sorta museum displaying stone splitters?
My dad had a welders helmet,that worked great. All the neighbor kids came over and we got to pass around the helmet. We also used a piece of paper on the ground and something simular to what you made. The teachers were good about teaching us not to look directly at it. We all ended up with sun burns that day because no one told us about staying out of the sun for too long. lol.
Hey Cody me and my wife made this for the drive to Wyoming. We found that with this and the projection box viewer styles, putting the magnifier just onto of the pinhole the light came in made the images very very crisp. We did not use the one at the viewing end as we couldn't quite get the focal point right. But putting it over the pinhole made the slightly smaller image incredibly crisp. Whether you record it or not give it a shot on a good day its an incredible difference in clarity.
1:55 magic pringles can
That was the cameraman LOL
Landes Channel Vlogs Camera Women* pretty sure it was Kanon, at least I think that's her name.
Where did you buy just one push pin? every store I've been to they want to rip me off with a whole pack!
Re-post in case you missed it:
If you decide to use your telescope do NOT use the sun lens! (If it came with one) When I was younger I was sketching sun spots when the filter split in two. Luckily I had just turned my head away so I only ended up with a bad burn across my cheek.
Instead, take out the eye piece and project it onto a piece of paper.
Great videos!!
I made one of these to watch the eclipse in Nebraska! It worked perfectly until the clouds rolled in. Thank you for sharing how to make this!
Sidewalks just like roads are supposed to be not exactly level for a reason ;)
holynex so rain runs off
Was going to say myself they are made that way on purpose to make sure water heads towards the storm gutter or peoples lawns where it can drain.
Cuz theyre solar?
So anything you drop will roll into the grass
If you had the Pringles® can interior spray-painted with a flat black paint, would it have improved the image quality?
I love how you used ® after Pringles
Bosco Bob it should.
Yes - flat black inside. Also sanding off the burr on the inside of the pin hole aperture will improve the focus. A local camera shop should have a laser cut foil aperture for about $5.00 - better than anything you could make.
VeniVidiVici just a CYA... We live in litigious time ya know. Gotta cover all the bases. 😏
Danny M great idea on the sanding. I may try that to improve the "sun dot" on my homemade analema on the side of my house. The tuna can lid dot *is* a bit fuzzy. Thanks for the tip.
This really is one of my favourite TH-cam channels
I'm glad you came back in time from 12003 to make videos for us though.
"Cody'sArtStudio"
Yes, but can you build a sunhole pin-viewer?
We love your videos Cody!
It was good to meet you today Cody! Keep up the great work!
Everyone, please remember that the pinhole is the "solar energy reduction" component, DO NOT MAKE IT LARGER. Let's all be able to see the eclipse in 2024 also.
I'm just going to use welding goggles and binoculars to view the solar eclipse
For the love of god, don't use binoculars. They'll increase the magnitude of the light and may be strong enough to go through. Watch with just welding gear, then take it off at totality.
joey green go through welding goggles? Naw man it's way to small of a lense to focus enough light anyway
DON'T. You will blind yourself. Get proper solar filters for your binoculars.
Put a welding screen in front of the binoculars
Brendan Stanford make sure the goggles go before the binoculars, otherwise you risk damaging the goggles and thus possibly your eyes by the concentrated light
Thank you Cody
When I was at school, the science teacher showed us a way to observe sunspots with a similar method to yours, Cody.
He pointed a telescope at the sun, and captured the light within a cardboard box (to block out unwanted external light). The image projected in the box was quite clear, and you could identify the sunspots and heatwaves visible on the sun.
It goes without saying, but he told us not to look through the eyepiece while it was pointed at the sun, haha.
Thanks for sharing your video!
im so sad im not able to watch this solar eclipse.
wish you good luck in getting a good view and hope you get some good footage to do some science with. maybe solar flares?
Hopefully school security won't think your pinhole viewer isn't a homemade mortar or rpg.
Dontbeweakvato heh heh
Funny enough my dad told me a while back how to make a homemade made mortar out of some Pringles cans
@@danielbickford3458 It's entirely covered in duct tape, security might think it's a pipe bomb.
@@sprucesoultree3833 I can see how that might be a problem
@@danielbickford3458 pretty funny how they won't allow pipe bombs, but will allow mortars.
Great Job Cody! You may already know this but this video was featured in the popular mechanics website! Keep it up!
Thank you very much for this. I was dumb and did not buy glasses early and now am unable to find any. I am definitely going to try to make this. Thanks again for showing it. Also, it gives a fun little thing to do with my kids
I find it funny how we can have a video like this trending next to "Fidget Spinner Cake."
What's wrong with the majority of the world.
Is this thing safe? You are looking directly at the sun, in a way. I believe it is, because the sun is dangerous on account of its intensity per unit area, and this projector takes a pinhole and spreads it out to be much larger, but can anyone confirm that?
Cody these are great for the summer for the kids. Do more please you
Wil make me look super cool
Definitely going to make one or a few of these for the eclipse. Used glass from a welder's mask for the transit of Venus, but the image was doubled and really couldn't see anything; not even sure if I was looking at Venus.
Thanks for sharing!
Description says 12003. Cody is from the future confirmed.
He dates everything like that. He isn't religious, so basing the year off of a religion seemed silly. Theres a group of people that add an extra 10,000 years onto the date as "the start of modern civilization"
why don't you attach a telescope to your eclipse glasses
This would be a neat project to scale up to the size of maybe 5 gallon bucks so that more people could gather around and watch the upcoming eclipse. the only drawback would be a magnifying glass that big would be pretty expensive i imagine, and you'd need some type of bracket to hold it all.
Great video! Love your shirt, too. GO AGGIES!!

Thank you for making this video. I've been wanting to make one, but had no idea where to start. :)
Thanks! I enjoyed learning this.
Ummm I didn't have all the materials, all I had was a magnifying glass so I looked at the sun with that.....it did not end well
Cody I'm a big fan, but this seems like a bad idea. There has to be an affordable way to measure the light intensity coming through this device. I challenge you to do that and then share your results with an ophthalmologist and TH-cam. Be safe tomorrow.
Cody legit seems like the coolest guy you ever wanna know
Cody you are a genius and great video keep up the good work

12003? cody are you form the future?
Ukranian_Soviet he always does that with years, i dont know why tho
Search for 'A new history for humanity' here on youtube, that should explain it.
It's an other calendar starting from the beginnings of human civilization, aka ~10.000BC, rounded for convenience.
yah i know i just remembered that
Arthur Galant
Sorry I'm a Christian and I think we should just keep it the way it is
Another thing to do during an eclipse, look at the shadows cast beneath a tree, you will see many little crescent shapes as the gaps between the leaves create individual pin-hole cameras.
I just love your videos
Video ends at 7:29
Thank me later
Mustache I'll thank you now. thanks
Why do i need to know that? Cant i just skip there?
Video starts at 0:00 youre welcome
Thank you
That's less than unhelpful.
I think that's my brothers apartment building in the background! Fun fact he actually met Cody on the train!
Yay! Top 25! Nice dude. Stoked to see ya there, as always.
Nice! Thanks for making this. very helpful.
looks like a fun little project.
Thanks, man! Used this to make one for tomorrow. Work's a treat.
An x-ray sheet is very good for looking at the sun. You can also change the intensity of the image of the sun by moving the sheet around.
This was great. I never made anything like this when I was a kid. The interesting thing is around where I am most of the counties have banned plastic bags and I don't think a paper bag for 5 cents would work on this project.
Last eclipse I saw was about 90% obscured, and was at work nearly 10 yrs ago, and most thought it bizarre when I showed how a simple cardboard box with pinhole, and viewed with your head nearly inside the upturned box, facing away to the back side for the image was so usable.
Cody you are awesome.
Cody is the science teacher we never had,but always wanted!
Keep up the good work Cody 👌
Thank you, Cody, for sharing this ingenius contraption. I made one of today so my family could safely look at the eclipse.
ingenious
I most definitely enjoyed the video.
Let's go Aggies!
Thanks for the timely video!
I made solar projector like this in 2015. Without magnifying lens I need about 1,5 metre long viewer to get projected sun to be about coin size.
The girls in our college mosque come to me after praying to see the eclipse. Totally worth it.
I like how Cody says cheesy jokes and giggles to himself at them. What a good guy
Great how to video Cody thank u.
That plastic bag works pretty good as a ground glass, good job!
Dang. This was pretty cool. You just gained a subscriber ;)
Hm, weirdly enough I was thinking the other day about viewing the sun through a pinhole. Glad you uploaded this video!
I used a 3 foot round mirror and reflected the sun through a window onto a wall.
Worked great.
Completely unrelated, but something I like to see Cody test is the weight of a fly in a jar. I've seen discussions/explanations on YT but not an experiment.
I enjoy it Sir Cody☺.
My normal way of watching solar events is to set up a small mirror (an inch or two) to reflect the sun onto a shaded white wall. It's a great magnification (the further away it is), maybe a yard or two across, sunspots visible, eclipse distinct. Sort of the reverse of a pinhole.
Great video
Awesome vid cody :) as always
Nice. Now i can use this every 20 years! Yay
loved the fossil footage at the end, thank you cody
I really like your videos :)
1:55 Cody is using the Force to get his can back. Nice work, my young Padawan.
Not the Cody video I expected but the Cody video I still like.
You can add some black paper to reduce internal reflection caused by the aluminum.
Actually by modifying the setup you can also observe 100 micron object with ease.
When I was a kid, I just pointed my binoculars right at the sun. It was pretty insane because there was a large image of the sun on my wall and you can even see the solar flares.
The strangest thing happens at my dad's house. The sun shines through a small gap in the back door, and makes a projection of the clouds on the wall. You can see the detail of the clouds and watch them move. It's the strangest thing I've ever seen!
I don't supposed you could find a way to show us, could you? That actually sounds fascinating.
WOOOOOO UTAH STATE!!! YEAHH GO AGGIE'S!!! LOVE YOUR SHIRT CODY!!! I PLAN TO GO THERE!!!
