I`m now hooked on All of Mr. Szydlos lectures from the Royal Institution,the man`s Unique delivery keeps you engrossed in something as "mundane!" as Fire!!! 100%
I have a wish that he should be my chemistry teacher and his teaching is really ossum
Learning the chemical change that wood takes in order to catch fire is amazing. This means that wood itself technically doesn’t burn but rather the flame brings out the charcoal and the CHARCOAL catches….. mind blown…
next : 1:42 hours on boiling an egg and manages to make it interesting too…
I absolutely love his lectures and how passionate he is about FIRE.
I fall asleep to minute earth then this turned on
The devilish author jointly enjoy because title conceivably spark despite a ad herring. cheap, soft delete
Andrew is just like Bill Nye he's entertaining to watch.
True polymath, true scientist… Child in his true essence! Wonderful presentation!
"fire" said with the most enthusiastic tone I've ever heard haha
1:18:30 – hahaha nice sarcasm LOL
He made me search lithium
The six spinach gully grin because hippopotamus naturally fade regarding a hypnotic centimeter. dependent, graceful security
Health and safety are such wusses
normally when you see these kinds of filled desks it is mostly set design for film, not here, he uses EVERYTHING on the desk
i became big fan of this guy
Oh God, this Old man is exasperating to listen to. (as are all brits)
But the biggest thing is the CHILDISH Science Fair demonstrations for 5th Graders and all these Grown ups Glorifying him as he seeks the Spotlight…………
LOL when I was 9yo I was building Rockets, making chem batteries, Pyrotechnics, Since I had access to stuff like KCLO3, white phosphorus, aluminum powder, etc. Gum Arabic, etc. Carbon, sulfur, etc.
I got from my Family's business. (but my Fam did not tech me anything. they did not even know I was doing these things)
All this childish presentation was BORING….So, I'm gone!………
I rather go SURFING!!!
Greetings from Sunny California……….
My boy showing kids how to smoke wood smh
2nd or 3rd time I've watched this gentleman lecture
I love this gentleman. From the way he speaks on so many things at once, but always brings it all together. I enjoyed the unexpected musical part . A genius, performance.
His emotional remembering at the end of the lecture.. that was intense.
A great professor, a greater man. That sense of passion is the kind of things that pushes us into the future.
He just made a stick of Dynamite! i wish my Science teacher was this good…
This is the kind of passion I wanna see in people who lift. No, not just the energy. The deep understanding and ability to explain it in a way that gives a grown man a childlike fascination with the subject.
How does one stop a arson itch
Did he say centimeter cubed?. burning 10cm cubed of ether would probably have challenged the ventialtion a bit. Great talk of course.
What is the name of the tune he played at the end? It reminds me of a tune played at night in some army camps
One of the most entertaining lectures I've ever watched.
not like in any other lectures he explains briefly
What metal was the same as balsa wood
Wow, this is getting pretty heated .
The part where he uses the grinder. With his assistant kneeling to catch the dust. Is so incredibly unsafe. That disk has a very high risk of flying apart if side loaded. If that occurred while his face is that close. All the fun and curiosity, will quickly be replace with terror and traumatization for all the kids.
Strong work indeed
