Top Blokes. Right up my street.

I'm always wondering where the door goes that Armstrong comes in and his wife walks out when he then goes out the window of a skyscraper?

Loved the Secret life of Machines series. Great to find this CZcams channel.

"No more clothes lines" Try saying that in 2024 Britain with the energy prices of today.

Never saw this show when it was new, thank you so much for uploading new and old episodes!

how cool it must be to bring this nice program back on tv the secret live of new machines

I loved Secret Life of the Home, it's a shame when it's gone. Every 2 years we went to London from the Netherlands to visit the Science Museum, we will miss Secret Life

Ahhh-yes! Another masterpiece! 👍💛

I like that you are not afraid of your own crazy ideas during prototyping and you are still willing to give them a fair chance. As far as phone addictions, people keep complaining at my job that I don't check my phone often enough, so I guess that means I'm doing good.

Me and the wife just visited Southwold and came across Tim's Arcade, we were so impressed, it made our day. Tim is a very clever man, we were blown away by how creative he is. Loved the "holiday in a chair," "The life of a seagull" and my personal favourite the "Fly machine". But every machine was brilliant, we were so impressed! So happy Tim has a CZcams channel with lots of info, we shall be binge watching all the videos. 👍

I made a crystal set as a kid, but cheated a bit by using a diode😂 re Tim's musing about generating electricity from the wire and kite, I believe this is actually a research area, but for use in space. Maybe someone can say more about it?

These Videos really need to be made available on DVD

Why are they closing it? I would have flown over from Australia but only found out today. Is it still there but they just won’t let people see it? Maybe I can ask them to let me in???

OMG This explains it much better than me, I was trying to explain this to my brother but he didn't understand, or maybe he just doesn't listen to me but he would understand this, brilliant.

"Uno, Due, Tre... Uno, Due, Tre... Uno, Due, Tre..." My fascination with how things work and engineering on the whole can be traced to watching this show in my infancy. The theme tune, the intense detail on the evolution of technology, and even your delightful animations (especially in this episode really speaking to my Italian heritage) brought memories of loving this episode in particular back to me. I begged my parents to VHS record the whole run, but regularly wanted to rewatch THIS one the most. No surprise I grew into a musically-inclined electrical engineer, I suppose. What an absolutely delightful trip down memory lane. Thankyou so much for helping preserve what I still consider a pivotal cog in my fascination with technology. ❤

I just love how at 6:25 the test song they use is "The Russians Are Coming", the Take 5 reggae instrumental used as the title theme. This entire show sits the back of my brain as a time capsule to some of my earliest memories being fascinated how things work, and the delightful ways in which inventions involved over the years... and subtly my love of ska, jazz and reggae too.

I can watch this again and again.

As a 20 years old boy I would like to thank you Mr tim for your amazing content and videos. And please don't stop😢

I also don't like the wide screens either. My computer monitor is a square shaped one.

@23.28 is Entertainment! great story thanks

That pocket watch chain is amazing

was n this on channel 4 years ago

Okay -- very good. EXCEPT to cover the one bit that nobody explains. Look at the video at 8:08. It shows the top thread being wrapped around the bobbin. But for this to happen, the bobbin would have to be floating in mid-air. Wrapping it around the front of the bobbin is obvious but there has to be a spindle or shaft holding the bobbin in place at its back and, if the thread were to wrap around both the front and the back as illustrated, it would get caught on that shaft. The thread can't possibly wrap around the bobbin in the manner you show. Even in the human machine, the bobbin man has to pass the bobbin from one hand to the other to form the crossover with the top thread. ¶ I'm slowly starting to figure it out myself. The bobbin mechanism in my machine doesn't revolve around the bobbin; it rotates part way and - once the front of the top thread gets at least half-way around - then rotates BACK to release the thread loop behind the bobbin on the same side of the shaft where it originally caught it. Tricky but doable. Now: how it can do that performing hundreds of stitches per minute is a real mechanical marvel!

Aint no way he’s still alive!!! I used to watch him from recordings that my uncle made!!! Omg love you!!!

😂❤!! Brilliant!

7:10 video killed the radio star

I hope the exhibits end up in your hands again and I'm sure you will do something just as great with it.

Very cool build!

I live in the USA and was able to visit the London arcade last month. I LOVED this machine. It was so clever, well designed, challenging, and FUN! Great machine!

Mythbusters of the 90s 😔

❤

DOES someone KNOW WHO sings from 7:00 to 8:00 ? It's touching. And that fine ending with the vibraphone/ xylophone... Who is she which is known to everyone in ~1938 ? How times flyes. Love how Tim draw Mr. Baird! 4:20 ! Diamants and socks and Jam lost to bees...

Thank you Tim! well presented, you picked up a sub!

A true artist. 💚

❤❤I Love these programs I could watch them over and over....❤❤❤❤😂

To much about Marconi and nothing about true inventor Fessenden...

Hi Tim, thanks for shining a light on a fascinating topic. Why are you not ‘Sir’ Tim, for services to education? Love your work. Gregg, Australia

Fascinating video. Exactly the information I was looking for. Thanks.

I used to watch The Secret Life series years ago. Fascinating and full of information.

I love your videos, but I'm gonna have to skip this one. The topic is boring.

We'll never have TV like this again.

Why yo didn't make episode about secret life of a computer?!!

I wish the probe had such force at the end that a waiver would need to be signed before playing the game lol

Pretty sure Rex has turned over more autos since. Love ya Rex!!!🎉🎉🎉
