Trial and CuriousWatch on YouTube

A home for unreasonable curiosity

Random questions deserve real experiments.

I build, fix, test, take things apart, learn completely new skills, and occasionally make everything worse before it starts making sense.

The first experiments are in the works.

Live from Ezra’s brain

Too many questions.
Not enough closed tabs.

This is the workbench—not a polished archive. Follow questions while they’re still messy, see the detours they create, and come back when one finally makes sense.

Lab notebook

  • The original 24V setup could barely move under load.
  • The motor itself came alive on a healthy tool battery.
  • More voltage is easy; making the whole system survive it is the real experiment.

Next move

Build the safest useful 36V setup, measure loaded voltage, then test speed and motor temperature.

If I'm live, the experiment starts right here.

Builds, repairs, gaming, rabbit holes, and whatever refuses to cooperate in real time. The player automatically shows the stream when Trial and Curious is live—and the channel's offline screen when it isn't.

The method, approximately

Confidently curious.
Honestly unfinished.

I’m not here to pretend I knew the answer all along. The false starts, weird workarounds, and moments where the thing absolutely should have worked are part of the point.

  1. 01
    Notice the question

    Usually at an inconvenient time.

  2. 02
    Try the obvious thing

    Discover why it was not obvious.

  3. 03
    Follow the detour

    Learn three unrelated skills by accident.

  4. 04
    Make it make sense

    Bring you along for the useful answer.

Who's behind the questions?

A real person—not a perfectly rehearsed expert.

I'm Ezra: a former Marine, lifelong tinkerer, and the person whose brain keeps turning ordinary questions into full-scale investigations.
