Oh my god, this is one of my old chemistry teachers from Bishop Gore school in Swansea. I will never forget his classes, things blew up and caught fire every week. Stuff of magic! Surreal seeing him and hearing his voice here after so long
I feel like the audience isn't giving this guy enough credit
yes
Rarely is the best teacher the most knowledgeable teacher. More often it is the teacher that shares their passion and love of the subject with their students. Grabbing and holding ones attention is one of the best ways to start the learning process. It's not the knowledge the teacher has, but rather the knowledge they are able to pass onto their students.
The camera man needs to learn to set focus and then set it to manual to keep focus lol
this is America, they need to learn to pay real camera operators and keep an eye on the footage they are recording
If he was truly concerned about the future of the Free World, he wouldn't be making such inflammatory remarks.
Take a shot of liquid nitrogen Everytime he says "basically"
are you trying to cause another ice age?
I'm glad he wore his tap shoes...
Good talk but that close up camera was pretty much the worst I've ever seen from a TEDx video.
The camera was not close up. TEDx talks are talks independent from TED.
@@minecraftminertime and you just commented to have something said, didn't you?
Now, only if we have teachers like this in schools/colleges
Learning elements of the periodic table and what elements react with each other. Doing experiments is fun when u know what u are doing
This guy is just so nice! I like him.
11:32 was that an owl?
Do this on april fools dude
@@M.Al-Naib lol. I live in India next thing I know, I would be deemed as a terrorist.
where are the colours??
The only experiment I had not already done in high school, at 4:10, he doesn't explain! Are you kidding me?
Clock Reaction
One of the solutions is probably a solution of hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid. The other solution is probably a solution of sodium thiosulfate, potassium iodide and starch. I’m no chemist to explain the actual reaction conditions, but the iodine gets liberated from the potassium and reacts with the starch to form the blue color.
Magic without smoke and mirrors. Just lots of smoke!
awesome!
passionate heh, he must have been tired that day.
This video is about 5 times louder than the last Tedx video I watched and just about blew my speakers and ear drums out. How about some continuity guys?
What a strut he has.
Video passed just in a minute🔥🔥❤
nearly had a heart attack in the first minute
Me and my Bois are ready to perform in chemistry lab 😂😂😂
Fun Science with Charlie is so cool like
How did he do that one where he changed the color of the solution instantly?
That is called " oscillation reactions" in chemistry
Cudos for the pan at physicists! 🎉😂
Chemists rule!!!!!
I am curious what ratio you had the hydrogen gas mixed with oxygen in the balloon ? Or was that a wee fib..? As I saw when Hydrogen meets oxygen there's an explosion. My high school Chemistry teacher used to get a 3 litre plastic bottle of frozen oxygen and a 3 litre bottle of frozen hydrogen and place them a sensible distence apart and pull stings on the lids and it didn't take long for a big boom.
You're teacher didnt have 3 liters of frozen hydrogen, due to tell how he managed that and how his magic soda bottle was able to withstand and enable the cooling down to 14 degree kelvin
And no it wasn't a wee fib they don't detonate on contact you are recalling something inaccurately.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 the first part was so nice
Maybe next time get a cameraman who knows how to turn that little auto-focus fella off.
He sounds like Paul McCartney
Thought same thing!!!
Not really.
am i the only one that likes him? dont be such downers, dont watch it if its boring.
This guy rides the JV bench compared to varsity chem ted talks
Will you please stop moving the camera around and let it focus FFS?
Blast-enchanted Water Gun:
Damage: 0
Accuracy: 70
Fire rate: 4
Ammo explodes on impact.
Do i spot a Terraria reference
There shd be a CHAIR... wHERE the Lecturer can sit when nessesary.
watch 7:56
i love your channel First
Welsh lad!!!
Lesson learned...
People love explosions
This is so cringey with the audience. They didnt even laugh when he inhaled the helium lol i enjoyed it. Damn.. and even the balloons at the end turned against him.. F
Locclo
The audience is not impressed enough
Unfortunately not very educational at all. Neither of the chemical reactions were explained...
Zioma - you must be a very dull person with a remark like that
@@biggstavros5876 I simply expect a little more ED in a tED video.
The iodine reaction is quite an interesting one.. He could elaborate a little bit. All we got is that H2 + O2 goes boom.
Is that James Cameron?
Tough crowd.
My mom and dad smoke more twice that much in 5 minutes
In thumbnail he looks like akshay kumar
Every chemist on stage does the same thing. It's not a experiment if you already know what is going to happen.
3rd
but no one cares
pofosur baltazar
Chemist are scary.
And there is the usual annoying explosion of sound from Ted at the very start of the video, putting off many listeners before the talk even begins.
*yaaaaaawwwwwn*
Without explanation this is pretty weak.
This is why the school system terribly failed...
That doesn't make sense. This video can't cause the school system to fail. The school system can cause this video to fail.
i could'nt agree more
Why would he specifically say there are different things in each balloon but not let each of them be seen individually??? Such a waste
Ok
The true teaching angiographically melt because bamboo genomically switch by a flat kimberly. regular, violet south africa
The trite fuel anaerobically fold because share family shiver to a unbecoming millennium. subdued, opposite feeling
The unbiased fertilizer cumulatively sin because harbor microbiologically connect absent a profuse search. low, deserted tile
The uninterested appeal regretfully pump because sparrow relevantly hang near a lacking swedish. dusty, foamy cabbage
Stop putting high school tedx's on your official channels. I'm sure this would be fun as a student but as a viewer its not the most exciting and the camerawork is absolutely awful!
Lame!
He's dangerous
No
Worst crowd and worst camera crew.
Well, for a TEDx, this was disappointing. --boom--. Yes, and...?
Well that was extremely disappointing
I don't like this old guy talking talking talking.... Waffling on....
I´m pretty sure this "old guy" is not presenting his eperiments all day in front of a crowd looking at him and expecting "Magic tricks". So he might be a bit nervous. I liked his way of presentating though, because it was like improvised and not a strict show :)
He is a very bad teachers! He SHOULD tell everyone about laud sound
This was all kinda cringy and anticlimactic
Nothing particularly inventive here.
I don’t like him he made a joke abt physics I feel offended
The awesome behavior fortuitously pinch because pencil scilly rob regarding a frightened frightening full fumbling functional tail. quixotic, absorbing purple
The parsimonious bay intraspecifically explain because daisy additonally borrow as a nebulous judge. squealing, healthy accelerator
I wanna know what reaction between liquids that was
AmbushKush420 me too !!
I believe it's called the iodine clock reaction.
Hey chemist student here!
It is a reaktion between Iodate IO3^(-) and Sulfite HSO3^(-).
Dat reaktion seems to be delayed because the Iodate reaktion with the sulfite to iodid [I^(-)] and the iodid with iodate to elemental iodine [I2]. That Iodine reakts now with the sulfite to iodid again. All those reaktions are colourless, hence we do not see them.
The last one however when no Sulfite is left the iodine will lay in some starch which creates this beautiful blue colour seemingly instantenious ^^
@@ZombyLP It's spelt with a 'c'... What are you, German?
@@ZeHoSmusician was "reaktion" the only word you looked at lmao? His explaination is actually good tbh
Take a shot of liquid nitrogen Everytime he says "basically"
