Andrew Szydlo is one of the best presenters with such infectious enthusiasm. If you weren't thinking about the wonders of chemistry, you are now!

@ultimatedude4404 4 года назад

That is so true

@ultimatedude4404 4 года назад

I now want to do chemistry

@BushCampingTools 4 года назад

@Darius Kang I agree Professor Bishop's lectures are well thought out and are very slick where as Prof Szydlo's come across as disorganised, however, he still has an "infectious" enthusiasm about him and I think this is important to encourage those who might consider chemistry as a degree. I remember I had both sorts of lecturers during my undergrad days and they can complement one another. Of course you can end up with some lecturers who may babble on and not say anything and quickly lose the respect of the students, we had one guy like this for genetics- it was paper aeroplanes every lecture almost, until the dean was called in and ALL lectures for that year turned into tutorials. And yeah, we do indeed follow Chris Bishop's lectures.

Haha this guy makes me laugh. He is so intensely excited about what he does every single time and I love it.

@narrator69 8 лет назад

it never ceases to amaze me that this professor still has all his digits, must be a great deal of fun to be in his labs.

@kilowagmagnusson4590 3 года назад

The world is a better place for having this great man in it. His exhuberance and keeness, his child-like joy of the world is inspiring. I am not his age but have not half the energy it seems! Always wonderful to watch and listen. Captivating!

@user-zb5ib5lu6b 5 лет назад

This guy is a joy to watch. We all wish that our school teachers had the same passion with Andrew Szydlo. Thanks RI.

@oWxrp 4 года назад

I love Andrew Szydlo's videos, I started watching his videos and I recommended them to my dad, and within a month... my father finished watching every Andrew Szydlo's videos. I'm 12 and I had no interest in chemistry, and after watching his videos... I know what aldehydes are. Thank you so much Andrew Szydlo!

@kylerichards2939 6 лет назад

I absolutely love how frazzled he is, this is a fantastic lecture if thats even the right word to describe it. He's absolutely into what he's talking about and that makes a great lecture. Full marks and I love this channel!

@RB747domme 5 лет назад

Kyle Richards the lovely thing about Andrew Szydlow, and I really respect him for this, is the fact that even though he's got a BSc, and a Masters MSc, and a PhD, CChem, FRiS, and he's a fellow of the Royal Institution, and about as well educated as one can possibly be in chemistry and physics.. .. he has taught children from his earliest career - without wanting to, or feeling the need to, go into industry, or go on to become a university professor. He cares so much about children's education that he has stayed as a children's lecturer for the better part of his career. Hats off Sir. Total respect.

@Trp44 2 года назад

So many thoughts…how many don’t make it out.

@mjul84 8 лет назад

This is a great example how emotion can play a role in successful education. An engaged teacher is much better than a disillusioned one. I had a similar one in primary school (chemistry as well), unfortunately we didn't have the buck to fund all the cool experiments he does here, but she was very good and I've learned a lot from her. Big kudos to Andrew Szydlo for being more energetic and engaged than I am in spite of being more than twice my age.

@noahway13 3 года назад

You could have told your teachers name. Gave her a shout out... = )

@judith8161 2 года назад

I just LOVE this guy! He's kinda hyperactive, which absolutely fits my brain. I'm easily bored, but not with him; probably because he vocalises his thoughts, letting me participate in what's going on inside such an intelligent head.

@DrTeddyMMM 5 лет назад

I really enjoy watching and listening to this man. There's a constant flow of information streaming from this gentleman that keeps your attention fixed so you don't want to miss a thing.

@michaelgough6533 4 года назад

My three favourite things on RU-vid: Donovan’s “Catch the Wind”; Pushkin’s poems; Andrew Szydlo.

@Unlisted_Name 2 года назад

This is the type is man who can really make an impact on children or learners of any age really. He is passionate about his subject, provides practical applications of the theory, and makes learning exciting. It doesn't matter what field you are in, there are many lessons you can learn from him beyond chemistry.

@phugoid 2 года назад

As with almost every video, I watched this too at a playback speed of 1.5, and Prof. Szydlo's breathless enthusiasm is truly accentuated! :)

@RB747domme 5 лет назад

Gary Card I know right? A man with a Bachelor's, a Master's, a PhD doctorate, A fellow of CCHem, felliw of CSi, A fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and A fellow of the Royal Institution, and a man who wants to give back so much, that he has preferred not to go into industry, or lecture as a university professor.. ..which he would have had every right to do. Instead, he has stayed as a High School lecturer because he cares about children's education more than anything else. I love that.

@Sean-ff9ic 3 года назад

I can see and hear just how passionate Prof. Szydlo is about his field of study. Cheers to the Royal Institute!

@robertyan8740 4 года назад

Dr. Szydlo's presentations should be shown once a month in every high school science class. Fascinating stuff.

@johnmcclain3887 3 года назад

What a great show of chemical skill, the history of the art of fire, and no time to be bored. Reminds me of my high school chemistry teacher, also quite a show if students lost attention. Great display of knowledge, across the spectrum from biology, chemistry through physics, and very clear, concise explanation of everything he was doing. It's been fifty years since my high school, but I remember those classes clearly, and used all the knowledge in electronics, mechanics, and truly, my whole life. Thank you very much for some truly splendid chemistry lessons, and your assistant is incredible as well, kudos on the violin duet, that too, was awesome.

@buildwithcuriosity Год назад

I'm amazed by the presentation! Wonderful work. Glad that we have such people and the organizations like this. Thanks Ri.

@neckbreaker094 4 года назад

Andrew Z. Szydło is as amazing as the chemistry itself! I've just watched his lecture at University of Technology in Łódź, Poland and I'm even more amazed at how awesome this man is. I thought that the lecture was gonna be in English since he was born in UK and lives there, but he was speaking Polish like a native, with no foreign accent at all! What a great guy

@RB747domme 5 лет назад

I know right. I have to keep stopping every 2 minutes to open another wiki tab to look up words that he's saying and fully immerse myself in the meaning of them.. I started with the word adiabatic.. and by the end of his lecture I had about 14 wiki tabs open lol.

@khaitomretro 3 года назад

This is exactly the kind of lecture that got me interested in science. Exciting, fast paced and packed full of information. It makes me eager to learn more. So many people demonstrating science make the most interesting subjects dull but I could probably listen to Andrew Szydlo lecture about paint drying.

@SgtHamster 8 лет назад

I absolutely love Andrew's lectures. His enthusiasm is infectious and the children present are clearly really enjoying the experiments. I wish my science teachers at school had been such fun.

@philiplettley 2 года назад

I'm sure Michael Faraday would be sat in the audience loving Andrews lectures, saying that this is what this lecture theatre was built and designed for. I'm sure when he's teaching, that these experiments and explanations would each last about an hour or so on each, he's just trying to reduce all that time into one hour, but he always runs on longer, but who cares because he's passionate about his subject and look forward to more in the future. Those of you complaining about the speed of his speech and rushing the experiments. You can find all these experiments in greater detail on RU-vid but you'll spend a lot longer than 1 1/4 hrs watching them all, but then you can watch these videos and then decide what you want to go into more, this is an introduction to chemistry almost

@DutchPhlogiston 8 лет назад

Things I learned from this lecture: When giving a lecture like this, I need to: - prepare things in advance - place demonstrations in front of the desk, visible to audience (not hidden behind clutter) - speak clearly and slowly. Finish all sentences before starting another one. Think beforehand about what I want to say. - Don't select experiments that wil have the public sit through minutes of just watching you nervously disassemble and reassemble it, or manually spin a propeller around.

@Mikeyt171163 8 лет назад

If that's all you learned, it's highly unlikely that you'll be giving any lectures like this any time soon.

@symetryrtemys2101 8 лет назад

@twogitsinacar4811 5 лет назад

I had a physics teacher much like Andrew at Boarding School. I would love to be taught Chemistry by Mr. Szydlo even now at 53. He's brilliant, older, fantastic and brilliant. I love his sheer lack of health and safety, exactly like it should be with no Namby-Pambying around, filling in questionnaires and risk assessments. That is how science should be. I wonder if he would teach me an "A" Level...……...Pretty please. He reminds me very much of the late Dr. Magnus Pike

@davidebusato2476 3 года назад

Dr.Szydlo is really funny and enthusiast, I would have loved a teacher like him when I was at school

@richthenative 5 лет назад

OMG, when does Andrew even take a breath. haha. There is still good info in his ramblings. I also like his bumbling and honest discourse. He humanizes both science and scientists. He is totally engaging with his bumbling and honesty. This is what can excite a young person to become excited about science, engaged and go further in their own discovery of science, perhaps leading to a career. Students should be exposed to all the different sciences as they just might be inspired to head down that road, not even knowing it existed. The same goes for exposing students to the arts and social sciences as well.

@davidelliott5843 Год назад

The screw on the top of the engines adjusts the compression ratio. These little diesels are more likely to run backwards when the compression is set a bit too high. The trick is to let it run and warm up then stop the engine, back off the compression and try again.

@JaredReabow 8 лет назад

he is not using the spring to start the motor at 15:32 hence why it is difficult to start and goes backwards

@aussiebloke609 8 лет назад

+Jared Reabow (Jazza) Yeah. When it fires, the added compression of that initial combustion coming before the piston hits top dead centre kicks the motor back the other way. And since it's a 2-stroke diesel, it doesn't really care much which direction it spins. Probably would have been better using a small drill to start the engine.

Those very small engines are notorious for accidentally starting to spin the wrong direction. On remote control aircraft, they started to put Springs on them, so that way they wouldn't spin the wrong direction.
