Blaze of Steel: Explosive Chemistry - with Andrew Szydlo 

Yes, I am so interested in he is explaining but my brain can not keep up with him

never seen anyone tell another individual to put their face by an active angle grinder either...

Hahaha! Imagine him in a committee meeting!!!

Chaotic , to much meaningless words, by the time you see the result you ve forgotten what what he's trying to show

@@knkyclpy some kind of chaotic genius. I cant hardly hold up with his speed but in the same time i like his way of humor and kindness. But I think his speed fits in with today's media consumption behavior :D

My favorite mad scientist. And his two helpers. Every genius who has ADHD needs some helpers. I'd never leave one of his lectures unless I had to take my kid to the hospital.

Most of 'em are just like "Ok, now i'm gonna do 'dis"

Usually, they're saying that college isn't for debate, and that if I want to question P+P theory, then I should graduate and write the text-books.

He's British what do you expect?

@@kbee225 yeah just a well mannerd British chemist who is talking to guests not his students

because hes talking to young children, id expect nothing less

It's at The Royal Institute so they are "nice colours"

I don’t think anyone could possibly sleep during this lecture!

Funny, same thing happened to me tonight. Woke up an hour into this video. Was having a strange dream before I woke up. Think I know why now lol

@@badbowtie7450 Same thing just happened to me, so interesting especial considering i fell asleep listing to a comedy skit

I was woken up by Andrew Syzdlo too, at a Jimmy Saville house party

Happened to me too. I fell asleep watching true crime documentaries and somehow RU-vid was playing this now that I woke up, and I love it! Gonna watch it all again from the beginning some time soon.

this professor is speed running a presentation

Thanks

❤❤

This comment is perfection *chef’s kiss*

Dude gonna need to wear an oxygen mask buy the end.

We hope they're making isolation a bit more productive!

Ah - this is exactly My experience too! I've subbed! These talks are all fascinating and very informative!

@@nmsspacedude1793 So have I!

I hear that. But this man needs to ease off the coffee LOL. Absolutely brilliant tho

Ted who?

We don’t deny science. We deny politicizing science and using it to control us and remove freedoms. Wear your mask! Because science! When the real science says otherwise. Also replacing religion with science is something we frown upon. Known as science as a religion.

The Thermite Reaction is a cheap way to make pure iron. Its a reaction between a metal oxide and and powders or shaving of the following metals zinc, aluminum, titanium or magnesium. Here is a example of a thermite reaction Mg+FeO2=MgO2 and Fe. The Thermite Reaction needs a insane amount of heat to start way hotter than a normal lighter or a normal fire can reach.

He is passionate and not beaten down by lack of funding. Proper funding and compensation can do wonder for those who have passion.

Thanks to RU-vid we all have Andrew as a teacher. For a long time

He has a clear joy of sharing his knowledge with the children. It’s fantastic

He's a high school teacher. You can treat your kids to that wonderful experience if you can afford the £6,000 per term school fees.

@@chrisharrison763 which everyone can affoard but those money are stolen from people and spend without their consent on a public school system that drives good teachers away because of how wastefull and inefficient it is making teachers wages lower than they should be for the same amount of money spend

It's hard to not get excited about chemistry... It's that passion and teachers like him that helped me get my chemistry degree.

agree

No not really pleasant to listen to, he should have had little pauses while he was taking not continually talk for 2 hours.

@@dtiydr nobody is perfect.

@@theterribleanimator1793 I am but I have never said that anyone else was.

a bit??!!:)

Royal Institute Christmas lectures are broadcast on UK TV each year, one of the best things about Christmas holidays imo

Isn't his manner and passion and mad scientist all in one just wonderful! I wish I'd learned from someone who taught in such way as to embed wonder.

and then gets fired due to protests of "concerned parents" who don't want their children in "danger"...

He's cast from the same rare mould as Magnus Pike and Heinz Wolfe

I wish I had a science teacher like him. I may have been motivated to be a Nobel Prize scientist

Agreed thanx, i too enjoyed this mans enthusiasm -my dad is a ret.chem.teacher and shares his abundant knowledge with my brothers and i, we never could 'stump' him on a question. lots of laughs, this man is Great. thumbs UP .

Me too.... But I watched it at 2x speed. "0_o"

That's the trouble I have with the show. I can't hear what he's saying for listenng to him

Oh lord I'm rolling on the floor laughing as every comment is so true the man's a genius a comedian. All round good guy.. made my day.

So true..

You imagine trying to hold more than 100 grown adults attention for longer than 5 mins ? You can't even hold your parents attention for 2 mins

@@Jazz8855 Who are you getting angry at?

Best comment ever. Period.

Luke Bassman 30:13 . Best quote so far...

I am thinking that seems exactly the thing that you would only say if you did NOT think. As things are now, he cannot breathe that oxygen any more, and he already was under his breath.So to me his idea of when things 'have gone to waste' seems to be a bit off.

@@harrickvharrick3957 I'd bet good money that he thinks A LOT more than you do.

Making of a mad scientist

Hydrogen is the most plentiful element in our universe. Over half of all elementary particles are hydrogen. If we didn't have all the Hydrogen in our universe as we have now, there would be a lot less class III stars which are required in the crrstioeruniver69se to create new, heavier (Moler Mases)- elements. To think about it, the heaviest element a Star Can or Will prod during their lifetime.

I am right about there myself, took up lock picking as a hobby on my channel, not quite science but each one is like a puzzle to figure out

+detaart Every once in a while, his voice pitches up and acquires a timber that reminds me of John Cleese. Can you imagine John Cleese as a science teacher? That would RULE.

+detaart i dont like his stutter its a bit annoying to hear.

+detaart He could pause once in a while. Exhausting pace for a 2 hour lecture.

+Tapio Hirvikorpi I think it's more a case of exposing as many ideas as possible without going into too much depth, in a short period of time.

@blabla62871 I disagree. Kids get a lot of theory and whatnot at their school. What they miss most and always argue in school (I did that too btw) is the practicality of what we actually learn. We don't want to be robots, we want to know how to apply what we learn to the real world and enjoy our results. I think this presentation was a work of a genius because it captured the history of the humans and put it together with the way science works. This not only gave the kids the insight of how sometimes scientists get things wrong, but how we move along with mistakes and learn from them but still enjoy what we do! If it would be a priority nowadays, I'd say that we should must in all of our efforts avoid our kids from becoming a less critical thinking sheep but be more enthusiastic about the world around us and also grateful to the humble beginnings of the human specie. Please note his remarks along the way, I'd say probably the most important one was the one regarding the engine: it's always good to know how things work, to apply the knowledge, to fix things and get the feeling of accomplishment and enjoyment yourself for the sake of it and not for the money or whatever. So it's also a lesson on morale, ethics and character which goes in tandem with Faraday's humble beginnings too (a reference he also made). Just my two, ergh.. octo pennies.

Very much indeed!

Have u considered to watch the video on x1.5 the speed saves half of an hour and it is on the edge of how fast my brain can processes all those words and they're meaning (not nativ English speaker and not a rap fan so no tripel-,l or quad-time listen)

@@TheLtVoss When the guy is already talking at that kind of rate I'm not sure how speeding it up is useful - he's already condensed it for us. As a native speaker I can handle somethings at 1.5x but not this, kudos to you if you can do that and keep taking stuff in.

Same 😅

@@AbiSaysThings word count =/= information content

Don't make fun of Mr. Wizard. He raised me.

Hey. Ghost investigation shows are the bomb.

I know, right? if only people spent their days watching chemistry videos on RU-vid maybe they'd be half as smart as you.

Not sure I understand your point there mkbxtr44.

Allow me to clarify, Mosipd. Whether or not it was your intention, your first comment comes off as sarcastic and bitchy. You made reference to someones intelligence. Your uploaded videos consist of "a fallen power line" and "throwing a rock in slow-mo". Your videos don't exactly demonstrate your towering intellect, and the reply to your comment points this out. If you are still having trouble understanding this, you probably never will.

you're not to bright...are you?

SiCoope No Christmas is complete without them :) You can now watch lots of them online here, too, and we'll be adding more soon: richannel.org/christmas-lectures

Bryson was my hero when I was a kid!

+Rhodri Thomas Remember Johnny Ball he was good

+The Stoned Videogame Nerd Yeah its on British T.V every Christmas, but it's been running since Victorian times, where the public used to go and watch these lectures, I think some very famous scientist have lectured there.

The Christmas lectures are still on but this years was the worst ever. Not a patch on this man. I would not have believed his presentation.

Search ‘shedloads of szydlo’. 8 videos of Andrew, six of them over an hour long

@@teridactyl1250 thank you. 🤩

Bro hes handling fragile glassware and just winging it around but his hands like freeze and become precise at the last minute to lay the stuff down to make sure it don't break. You can tell he has had his fair share of handling these sort of stuff else he would have broken glass all around him the way hes moving.

@@seditt5146 I admit to anxiously cringing as he waved the (still lit) torch around. He made sure to keep it facing away from himself/assistants, but watching him struggle to put on PPE, one-handed, while still juggling the torch... I was on the edge of my seat. 😬

@@victorzapata1104 ............what?

+Eric Taylor Engineer here, its ok I am sure he didn't mean anything by it :P A bit of teasing is healthy :D

SwissMllk I really enjoy these lectures.

+Eric Taylor Same.

Vlad Caso Collecting sparks, or liking the videos?

Both really.

Erik Žiak I encourage you even now to learn more about chemistry. I was home schooled, thus no chemistry teacher to give me a lecture, boring or otherwise, however I have read many books about chemistry, and done lots of experimentation in my laboratory in my backyard. Its incredible, and teaches you a great deal about the world around you, in ways you wouldn't expect. So even if you aren't going into chemistry, don't do a chemistry related job, I would encourage you to perhaps buy a few books, a little glassware or instruments (a lot of stuff you can find around the house), and do some little experimentation at home as a small side hobby!

MrLittlelawyer Thank you, but I barely bring myself to vacuum the house or wash the car... I have zero energy and just exist from day to day, do my job and then come home. There is little motivation in anything I do. I do not know what is going on, I have unfinished "projects": one amplifier (needs just the chassis now), my oldtimer car (1966 Škoda 1000 MB), small two way spakers (almost done, crossover simulated and built)... I even do not have the energy to read books as I would like to! I realize that all these activities are a weak substitute for what it means to have a life. Nothing of it matters anymore to me. Nothing has some real value, nothing gives me pleasure anymore. I cannot enjoy stuff that I do for myself, alone. Being lonely really makes things only worse. I am a nice example of what happens to a social anminal if isolated, kept alone. And I do it to myself and cannot help it, althought I see it. Very often I actively do not speak to people because of the topcis they want to discuss. I am paralyzed, alone or with people (which happens very rarely). I know I do not want to live like this, but I cannot change it. And I have a very low self esteem. Realizing that makes it just worse. I used to hate myself, but that changed to indifference now. I really do not care anymore. If I died, nobody would notice anyway. But I can reasonably convince myself that suicide is not a solution (damn you philosohpy!). But death will come, sooner or later and all this will finally end. I do not see myself as suffering, nor do I feel any injustice or anything. Really not. I am just sad and want to cry. Lucky for me time has lost a meaning, so in 10, 20 or 30 years, when I look back, everythin will be like yesterday. So when I die, everything will be finally over and I will be releaved. I do not know why I write it to you. I apologize, this is not what you wanted to read in response to your post. I wonder if this is how depressed people feel. I guess not, I am still able to wake up in the morning, go to work, do my job (better or worse). My job is the only thing in the world that has any meaning, at least for now. I hope not to loose this view on it. Although I experience little pleasure when at work, at least some activity which helps other people, at least something where I can feel useful and I can build a nice lie that I am needed. But I know that I am replacable, or maybe disposable is a better word. Nobody cares and I not blame anybody for not caring. Nobody else is responsible for me than myself. Now ask yourself, is talking to me really worth it? No, it is not. I hate this mood I am now in, but as if I had a choice. Free will is just an illusion and all I am is a broken, chaotic machine writing silly comments here. I will not be angry if this comment gets deleted. Oh, on a side not, no auto-correct is here, so all typos and stuff remains in this mindles rant wich makes me feel worse...

Erik Žiak Well at least you are contributing to the world with your job, and perhaps you will get around to those projects sooner or later. We all have ruts in life, whether they be days, months, or years till they end, until eventually I think we all find some spark of joy or interest in the world that may reignite our vigor to enjoy the incredible world around us yet again. For some, its the search for that spark that is so great, and for others its the fire that comes. Anyways, if you ever do think you are especially depressed, I would recommend you get care fro ma doctor, but until then I encourage you to look for joy in the world, or simply to do as you have been and wait for it to come, because I promise you that it will. Perhaps you will find meaning in a new hobby, a love (or already existing love will be rekindled!), or even philosophy/religion (as a scientist type, its odd to some that I find such hope in Christianity, but to each their own, and this is mine!). Have a good day, and the best of life to you!

MrLittlelawyer You are too kind. I better stop whining here, my posts are being deleted already.... To whoever deletes them: How about telling me personally? I will not be angry.

Erik Žiak Erik I hope you are feeling better soon. You are not alone in how you feel and there is light at the end of the tunnel, as difficult as it may be to see at times. Do not give up on life, your existence is important.

Are you still there?

He is exhausting to listen to! Great fun, though!!

Exactly!

My University physics professor was this excited about physics. It was real fun, great guy.

At 26:52 he admits putting "too much acid in" so that might be the explanation.

Comic irony

Hehehe nice one

"i'm a disaster"

As an astronomy major, everyone i noticed everyone in science gets excited from success

It’s their natural state. They must be given work to distract them.

Literally what this guy said in another video 😂😂
