we'll talk about one theorem that I
learned when I was in high school and
the seemingly miraculous methods to
solve it which is my favorite thing from
the training for the International math
Olympia back in Bulgaria the theorem is
called ptolemies theorem and the method
will wait a few minutes before we get
there well let's start with something
that everyone knows what is the theorem

Hi, I got my hands on a bunch of these Thermoelectric Peltier devices ,thanks to Circuit Specialists.
I've never used them before but, from what I know when you apply electricity to them they pump heat.
Well, let's power it with 12 volt DC. I know the theory -(gets shocked)
Sh** ow(gets shocked again)
I know the theory behind it, but I haven't really experienced one
