- Let a balloon go and it tears away in all directions like a mad thing out of control, but Rob shows how to make a rocket from a balloon that ascends gracefully in a straight line SUBSCRIBE NOW

"The sticky tape is behaving erratically"
Don't hear that phrase often enough...
I love Rob's way of describing things, such as "The sticky tape's behaving erratically!" 🙂
This one is really great. You can feel like a rocket engineer even if you can’t afford those fancy models.
I wish there was tv like this made these days... So much better than modern tv shows!
I guess you could play with the narrow fins to make a flying octopus
The PAL video source hasn't been deinterlaced, so half the information in each frame is missing (PAL uses 2 fields per frame), witnessed as a horrible comb effect whenever there is any motion in the video. Please deinterlace into 25fps (or even better deinterlace into the full 50fps, which CZcams supports). FFMPEG with the simple 'yadif' filter works a treat!
i mean wow. this is the stuff i should have watched as a kid.. such a simple and well presented example of physics..
I quite literally weep when I watch this pure gold and compare it to TV shows today....yes weep. Children today have been short changed by mainstream media.
get with the times
@@StolenPw No.
@@Warpedsmac then be left behind
@@StolenPw Indeed!
@@StolenPw Human devised timescales and divisions within them, are irrelevant to the Earth's geological time scale...Existentialism my friend.
Everyone's commenting on the sticky tape, but NO-ONE has mentioned the two perfectly working Apature Science portals behind him!
G’Day Rob, Just got your book for Christmas. Looking forward to getting some quiet time later to have a read! Merry Christmas.
Many thanks - I hope it gives you a few laughs - Merry Christmas - Rob
Beam me up Scott Tape!
Is that a star fleet uniform?
thats the first thing i thought too when i saw the thumbnail. awesome
I'll forward this link to Elon Musk.
hes doing it all wrong he needs a balloon that generates 16 million pounds of thrust.
I remember watching this as a child and grew up to be Wernher von Braun
Smart man, he was... He died in 1977...
@Rosehill CCTV Google is your friend. Or type it in the CZcams field. Enjoy school tomorrow.
@Rosehill CCTV he's an aerospace engineer. it's a shame that people would rather write "google it" than spend the exact same (or less) amount of time to simply be helpful
@@atcJ You're forgetting that its much easier and quicker to just google a name in the first place instead of asking who that person is and waiting for a response. Telling someone to "google it" is basically telling someone what they should've done in the first place.
Also, answers researched are more likely to stick than answers told while possibly opening up more lanes of curiosity.
Lastly, lets not encourage someone to take other people's word. Not to discredit an individual's honesty or intellect, but RDV RDV could've said that Von Braun was a chicken farmer and Rosehill would've been none the wiser.
@@NorthGaReptile I get ya. Although considering old mate replied a fair few times, it would've been simpler to just give the answer.
Chicken farmer or not, I personally think people can learn not to take other people's word by being told that Von Braun is a chicken farmer then relating it to the topic of this video and realising that this information is probably nonfactual.
Regardless, I definitely hear what you're saying but unfortunately do not 100% agree
Very cool never thought of that. Merry Christmas
I have those same scissors with the orange handles. They are about as old as Rob's, too.
I think the fins are not fins but have a dragging, tail effect similar to the tail on a kite 🧐
Both shifting the cg and giving aerodynamic drag (shifting cl). Yes.
Who gave them a portal gun
Hehe
I forget is this an old show or this old camera/filter on purpose
Thanks. Curiosity Show was a national science program featuring Dr Rob Morrison and Dr Deane Hutton. It was made in Adelaide, South Australia and screened nationally in Australia as well as in Europe, Asia and Australasia (14 countries and dubbed in German for Europe) from 1972-1990. Deane and Rob intentionally used everyday items around the house (like old rusty cans) so that people could repeat the demonstrations with materials they had to hand. In 1984 Curiosity Show won the Prix Jeunesse International, the world's top award for TV programs for young people. Rob and Deane are steadily uploading segments at czcams.com/users/curiosityshow Why not subscribe?
Read this as smooth brain rocket
Poor Rob. How did you get that long gash on your index finger 😕😢
Hard to remember now - Rob
Erratically behaving tape.
Who else thought this was "how to create a working portal gun with scissors and glue?" from the thumbnail?
😮😮😮
Instructions unclear: used hexagonal cross section pencil, balloon turned into honeycomb
At least I get free honey
Ngl chief. The narrow one did better 💀. I’m sure it was a fluke so to say but I know that made y’all mad lol
Fun TV....back then , now it's all bull
your balloon-blowing-up technique leaves something to be desired
Cor blimey
Unfortunately Rob rockets are unable to go past the Firmament.
But a great example of how nasa are full of Hot air.
First
