I wish this had been around when I was in high school. It's truly excellent how you cover every subject in depth, without any assumption of previous knowledge, and without any talking down to the audience. It seems accessible to anyone, but even if you're totally familiar with the theories, seeing the built apparatuses and having the principles explained so clearly and visually is such excellent viewing. Really inspiring, thank you.
He legitimately has such a deep knowledge of so many different subjects and it all comes together beautifully.
I feel the same way! How different would our lives be if we all learned and performed experiments like this when we were 16?
.... Assuming we survived..
Sadly, we are probably not going to see the teaching style change in our lifetimes, but for the future students, this is the way of learning. It might sound a bit too idealistic, but I think we're going in a great direction when it comes to teaching. I've always hated history and I never really understood physics and chemistry, even doing well in school, but now that I'm over 30 and getting into those topics I can see how much time and effort was wasted with stupid and outdated teaching methods. Now I'm learning math, chemistry, physics, history, even philosophy and biology - all through the Internet, all through people like our precious presenter here (which I don't even know the name of!), just having fun learning stuff and getting to know the universe I live in on a really deep level.
So yeah, I agree, if I I was born in the last 10-20 years insted, I would be a much better person overall and I would understand the world a lot better. This isn't just a crazy science channel, this is the future of humanity in the making.
I know that 90% of the kids I went to school with would be interested in stuff like this. We, as a spiecies, have to stop teaching boring formulas, we need a goal and presentations like this one to lit the fire under people, to get them questioning the universe and pushing humanity forward.
These are interesting times at least, we truly are on the brink of a revolution, even if we don't get to fusiuon power in 5 years.
Very well put.
“Hi, today is the second video in our series on thermonuclear fusion.”
Now that’s an introduction. Love this channel.
Is this our dimensions RICK ?
@@veorEL NO! He's much to classy to be a Rick.
My exact thought lol
yeah, you can delete youtube, but please leave this channel and Applied Science Channel...rest is trash
@@ddegn he tutored rick.
I’m 76 years old and darn near retired, but your ability at teaching is second to none. I sure wish I had met someone with your ability to explain physics to me then, but I only pray you’ll be able to teach youngsters the way you do, and our country would be served so well. Congratulations,my friend! Dave in Phoenix
Electrons are not particles. That’s easy to prove. Also the man who discovered electrons said it’s not a particle, JJ Thompson It’s a field. It’s apart of the dielectric which is 1 with magnetism. JJ Thompson said an electron is 1 unit of dielectricity. This is not my opinion. This is fact. Charles proteus Steinmetz has a great book. Electrical discharges waves and impulses. It’s a must. Especially if you want to understand this more. Also theoria apophasis on CZcams. He’s the man for magnetism. Many free books of his that are great. Charles proteus Steinmetz work backs it all up.
@@Man11235 not relevant to the discussion at all, but if you wanna go there, electrons are actually elementary particles, in the same class as a muon or photon. You are correct that some of these particles, particularly photons and electron streams, exhibit wave-like properties. This is demonstrated by the concept of wave-particle duality.
Things get wierd when you go into subatomic physics, and things like absolutes fly out the window.
Light is actually both a particle and a wave. Photons can mechanically punch microscopic holes through gold foil.
Check yoself before you rek yoself, noob.
@@jakesmith2341 Actually electron are leptons like muons and are thus fermions but different of photons which are bosons.
Now, Einstein proved that photons were both particles and waves (and got a Nobel price for it) and De Broglie posited that electrons (and pretty much anything moving) are both particles and oscillating fields/waves - at the same time - and it's the Planck constant that determines how much of which is prevalent at a macroscopic level (you know, Eisenberg uncertainty principle and all that Jazz !)
@@Man11235 thanks

I second that Tony. Tech In. is greatly appreciated.
Seriously, I really love the clarity and precision.
@@TechIngredients The thought of refrigerator sized fusion devices is fascinating. However... back in the stone age when I was in College (1970's) I recall the prof saying the search was fruitless because if we ever got to the fusion threshold, there were no materials to build the vacuum vessel out of because of the intense neutron flux and hence neutron damage (lattice damage) to the containment vessel. Has this problem been solved in the last 70 years? ... an ol' guy that's still interested.

Yes, but you can't film or discuss anything.
Nah, those people chose their fate. This is a way better option.
I love this guy’s videos; they’re both educational and entertaining. But let’s be real: the physics and chemistry he’s explaining is stuff that most upperclassmen at MIT would already know. (I did both my BS an MEng at MIT). His videos remind me of the better professors I had at MIT, but without the math that goes with the conceptual stuff. The math is harder to make interesting enough for CZcams.

But part of the art of teaching is dealing with the ones that aren't interested and don't wanna be there. He doesn't strike me as the type to persuade that sort of student to try and learn. Rather he'd inspire the interested to extend themselves.

You present more educational content in the shortest amount of time than anyone I have seen on CZcams. Thank you for your channel.
I was wondering where you were going with the first video WRT fusion, but seeing it all come together with the magnet constricting the Hg vapor discharge explained it all perfectly. Kudos to you for providing all of the background to make sense of how the plasma is constrained in the reactor.
I've learnt more about electromagnetism in the last 38 minutes than I have in the last 38 years. Keep it coming!
36:28 you can even see the red and black wire moving apart once the current is flowing. A further example of what was explained before.
Watch the cables leading to the arc furnace in this video at 1:39! You can see them repel each other for the same reason. czcams.com/video/_j2jESz7Zl8/video.html
Good eye, I missed that
You, sir, are a professor in the highest regard. What I would have given and, still, give to have you as my teacher/mentor, I'd rather not mention.
He is the father we wished we all had. Just imagine the worth of knowledge as a child growing up.
Great explanations for the physics involved. When I was about to graduate from college, I toured a few high schools to generate interest in physics as a potential major for the university. We brought along gas tubes, high voltage generators and explained how light was produced from electron orbit decay. We even brought alon some LN2 just for fun. It was rewarding to watch the students eyes light up when they understood the concepts. Watching this brought me back to those days over 30 years ago. Keep it up!
I love how his instincts said catch then his brain yelled NO

I just saw that same thing: czcams.com/video/-2QaTyDJDEI/video.html
Yes, I would love to see "The Main Presenter" interview scientists at ITER or MIT. Maybe you could get a tour of the facility also?
This series on thermonuclear fusion is fantastic. Very compelling practical demonstrations to reinforce the theory.
I've realized that I'm very much a visual learner, so to see these demonstrations along with the explanations is really helpful as well as awesome to watch!
The world NEEDS people like you. It is very exciting stuff, especially for the future of mankind and the planet.
"Now let's kick this up about 3 orders of magnitude" - Most channels cannot say this without hyperbole.

Spot on! ... also: the squirrel video was exceptionally lame.
To be clear: they're both VERY good at serving VERY different audiences for ALL the best reasons.
but you have to admit that Guss is cool
Thanks for recommending this video! I wish I had grown up in a time where things like this were more commonly known and available-- even at 43, it makes me want to work in electrical engineering in some way. There's nothing more empowering or that sparks the imagination more than being able to try ideas out yourself, and it's obvious with your channel that those things are possible-- and with some education, even a garage tinkerer could contribute to really big ideas.. and many of us could see ourselves in that position.
Thank you for what you do.
Hi there, this is one of your best video presentations ever and loved it how you culminated it with such a dramatic experiment. My ten year old was asking about fusion reactions and I found that you had this video, he never took his eyes off it for the entire duration (neither did I). Great intro demos too!
Thanks!
I just wanted to chime in that I love your videos. I've been a fan ever since the series on sound a while back, and yours is one of the only channels on CZcams that I will happily sit and watch for more than half an hour at a clip. Part of me wishes you had a greater upload frequency, but given how much work and research goes into each and every video, I'm not sure I'd want that, to be honest. It would be a bit interesting to maybe have a Q&A video or a brief explanation about your background. If that's out there somewhere I've missed it: I'm not sure if you're a part time physicist, an incredibly bored and studious science teacher, or just some random dude with a workshop full of dangerous toys - but it'd be interesting to find out a little more about what set you on this path.

Always a pleasure to read and see your demonstrations. Thanks. I'm 77 now and, like others, feel I missed so much in my school years not having someone like you. But there were some teachers who were well read and inspirational. Occasionally students had to teach the teachers. Some of the best teachers for this were shop teachers. They loved their students, loved to learn, loved to teach. They were some of my heroes. Thanks for all that you do.
So happy I found this channel. I’ve been feeling sick all day so I spent the day in bed watching as many of your videos as possible, while just drowning in the knowledge
I love your ability to educate someone like me about how a fusion reactor might be structured in terms that I can understand. You break it down to a level that somebody who isn't an engineer or post-graduate scientist can reasonably follow along with, and I appreciate that you and the people who work with you have taken the time to incorporate so many working examples of the concepts you're about to explain. Your channel truly is a blessing. Thank you for it!

I'm SUPER excited about that.
Fingers crossed it'll work out!
Yeah, shit gets real...
Tokamak Energy in oxforshire is doing the same trick. They have many excellent videos on here. I am skeptical this route will be what finally unlocks fusion energy though, the heat flux on the divertor of an ultrahigh field tokamak is going to be absolutely stupendous.
@@Muonium1 Heat is something which can be made use of. Hence, the steam engine!
I think Trump's team are quite capable of dissipating sufficient heat to mitigate the downside of nuclear fusion, if thermal considerations are the only setback....
@@tasmedic Heat is useful, when it's not inherently concentrated like a super powerful laser beam onto a tiny area of material, which it will be in ultrahigh field tokamaks. In that case, it's a nightmare that destroys the machine.
@@Muonium1 Well not only the heat flux but neutron flux as well. So having material that will withstand that kind of radiation for a long time is not trivial at all.
I guess we will see how it works out, first we will see ITER that I am sure of :) And then hopefully a bigger Stellarator.
This man is a treasure. I'm now 30y/o and feel a bit of sadness that someone so passionate about science while able to express the concepts so eloquently and concisely wasn't as accessible to me earlier in my life. Glad you're here now though.

Me: *Heavy breathing "Go on."
This is one or the one most accurate videos and detailed onto the physics of a thermonuclear fusion I have ever seen around CZcams and it is an level that everyone can understand it properly. As an engineer I respectifully say thanks for your time on sharing your views in such appealing experiments, as usual quality of your chanel.
Freezing the can, then perform the same experiment again with the can frozen first
You're implication is correct, it helps.
Full can, and I'll clean up the Bat Cave afterwards.
i bet though that the thin al can warms up super fast.
There's so little heat capacity in a coke can that it will warm back up to room temperature pretty quickly. I suppose you'd need something to keep it cold right up to the discharge of the arc. Maybe contain the coil and can in a dewar containing liquid nitrogen, without immersing the can in it...
Guessing a new, full can would be too messy
Wish I'd have had you as my physics professor :)
He's invited to my fantasy dinner
What a fantastic channel. such a wide range of very useful topics, yes even nuclear fusion! I am by no means a physicist, But a retired firefighter. I am drawn to physics and am currently reading Mizuno, T Dr. Nuclear Transmutation: The reality of Cold Fusion, an interesting read. Your vids are excellent and can see you put a lot of time in on them. They are clear and easy to follow and understand. Thanks for all your hard work!!!
I love the content and the depth of the coverage. The extent with which you go through the concepts is just right for me (and would assume many others). I would like to understand more of the safety considerations you had as you performed each of the experiments, just because I think any newbie who would (brashly) attempt to replicate some of your experiments would certainly benefit from knowing them in advance :-D Thank you for your great videos!
Any day with a "Tech Ingredients" video notification is a better day! 😃👍
37:09 "This is a nice setup using the mercury"

WOW, I just want to say thank you for making these videos!! I learned more (more so better understand) particle spin better from this video than I have in 4yrs of of Quantum Theory at University. There's just something incredible about how you have a way of breaking down theory in the simplest form possible. I truly wish CZcams and this educational content existed when I was in Highschool/College... You explain things in such a way that a 12yr old could understand...

This is the second video I've watched of yours. (First one was how to distill ethanol.) Your teaching style is a treasure. I'll be sure to tell others about this great learning resource.
I come from and work in 'tech', so I appreciate this presentation. I cannot envision a better presentation for those not immersed in science & technology. If only explained, most people cannot visualize "magnetic confinement" as it relates to fusion research. However, most people can extrapolate things, and your demo here conveys the basics of magnetic confinement Visually ... "seeing is believing" ... BRAVO!

"No, we didn't use magic"

I have seen coins that were exposed to incredibly intense, short-duration magnetic fields that resulted in the metal contracting into a smaller-diameter, thicker disc. It's hard to imagine the magnitude of the forces in action there.

Oh yeah. I have 7 of those pulse capacitors just sitting around in my back room!
Pulse caps are super simple, more simple than the electrolytic caps, just 2 metal plates with dielectric in between, which can be plastic, glass, mica, etc
While in college in the early '70's a classmate showed me the air discharge method of switching high voltage/current. (He called it an "Open Air Thyratron" and had learned the technique working on an experimental offshore seismic shock generator.)
We obtained some large pulse capacitors (120 mfd @ 3KV IIRC) and built an "OAT" out of 1/4" brass screws triggered by an automotive ignition coil. We had great fun exploding wires and flash charging magnets, but never thought to try can crushing!
Thanks for the memories!

Such a great science/technology channel. I learn new things every time I watch this channel
Your description of the heating of the coil in your plasma pinching demonstration reminded me of a module I designed back in the '80s, commissioned by the JET (Joint European Torus) project at Culham, 20 miles or so up the road from here. I was then working as one half of a 2-man company.
The module was called an I-squared-T integrator; its function was to monitor the magnitude of the current in the busbars feeding the torus electromagnets (using Hall effect sensors), and integrate the I^2 x time, with a trip level set to shut off the current before the busbars melted. The module allowed the computed value to decrease with time (allowing for the bars to cool between pulses).
I wish you had taught my Physics classes. You have true gift in the way you present the subject matter and if you showed the math involved I think I could finally understand most of it. Very , very good work. And thank you..
You are the professor that I always wish I had. Thanks for all your hard work, it's left a big impact.

This has certainly brought me up to speed regarding Fusion - I understood that the net power produced was less than what was required to produce it. So I look forward to your interviews with MIT folk.
As a small boy, Christmas for me was about waiting to watch Professor Eric Laithwaite deliver the annual Christmas lectures at The Royal Society.
I feel like I'm betraying him to some unseen enemy when I say that your infectious enthusiasm for your great depth and breadth across numerous fields eclipses even his. I've just rewatched some on CZcams to confirm that I'm fairly comparing B&W with colour.
Thanks for making whatever you talk about so accessible without ever making it boring.
Please don't listen to anyone who says you should do things differently.
after you heard a lavalier mic, a camera one is just pain to the ears
Absolutely incredible! Love how much info you're able to put into a single video.
Is there any chance you're planning on building a Farnsworth reactor in the future of the series? It seems like you've got the vacuum technology and the high voltage capabilities.
No.
A plasma ball might be fun, but low energy fusion has no reasonable principle to support it. Did you know that the nuclear strong force that holds a single proton and neutron together is 5,000 newtons?
looking forward to seeing what you do next.keep up the creative work.
I feel that I learned so much about physics from this and the first video and also the magnetohydrodynamics one! I really wish this series continues in the future and I'll bet I'm not the only one thinking like this. Although explosions and afterburners are great fun and definitely interesting, I feel that the topics discussed in these 3 videos are of a much more of an importance in todays world, not to even mention tomorrow's!

This is a great explanation about the applications of complex theories. I'm one of those people who can't understand abstract theories without being able to visualize it. The simple way you explain chirality and zeta pinch with the experiments make it so easy to understand. I finally connected how the theories are applied with the workings of a rail gun. You know how things are supposed to work but it takes that one time for things to click and you can understand why it works. Thanks for that. You now have one more subscriber.
Thanks and welcome!
Absolutely fascinating and superbly explained. As an avid Sci-fi fan, I read a lot about Tokomaks and Nuclear Fusion contained in "Magnetic bottles", of course stuff of the future, but this video brings it all to life. Great stuff!!!
This guy just made my brain explode. I love science, but I build homes for the past 17 years. All this time I really believed I was actually hitting nails with my hammer.
this chanel should have 1 million sub, really good chanel thanks for sharing
Enjoyed the heck outta this video and will check ur other vids to see if u made that interview happen. Thanks for the knowledge!
Tremendous work on this video. Magnetic field study has been a long life "hobby" of mine. Keep up the good work you do.
Thanks!
