In the episode, they claimed there was no thrust generated in vacuum. However, the only thing proved is that it didn’t generate enough thrust to overcome the weight of the craft (5-10 grams?)

Unfortunately, any modern laptop would automatically shut down before it could super-overheat, to prevent damage. In most computers, this is set somewhere between 70 degrees Celsius (158 degrees Fahrenheit) and 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees F, the point at which water boils), FAR below the point at which anything in the computer would catch fire, even in pure oxygen.

It’s nothing to do with magnetism. You can probably find tutorials on YouTube about how to make them. They are a LOT of vidoes about them.

Christmas tree fires happend because the cold dry air outside comes in your homes and makes your inside cold dry air too so its the realative humidity around the tree in your homes so go buy a humdifier and put it by the tree ! The dry cold air has static charges in the air that will not bind to water because there are none right ?

The only way with just the housing christmas lights to start arcing of current if the air around the christmas tree is dry air because it has to do with the realitive humidity of outside mixing with the air inside your house so go buy a humidifier to keep wet air so you do not get a fire that destroys and kills you in the process !!
