King Solomon's Circles

[@robertcrookall5991]

It's fascinating to see the difference in style between Rob and Deane, and how they compliment each other. The storyteller Deane's showmanship is balanced by Rob's soothing matter-of-factness.

[@Zombie-lx3sh]

I can see how they complement each other. Do they also regularly compliment each other? Were they fans of each other's work?

@CuriosityShow I remember you guys so well from my childhood days back in Germany. Your program was a definitive favourite (despite of the terrible dubbing). Therefore I'd like to thank you and your team for the quality time that you bestowed upon a whole generation. Let's hope that kids of today will be as as spellbound as I was ...

[@laika6661]

It's neat how humble this show is. It's all simple learning and fascinating content that thousands adore yet the backdrop is simply a white flag with the shows name pinned to the wall

[@ozboomer_au]

My absolute favourite show to watch on a Saturday (or Sunday?) afternoon in the '70s... & better now, as I'm fascinated all over again, having forgotten a lot of the segments. Fanx! for posting!

[@freelectron2029]

wow. i had forgotten all about this show. i used to love it. it definately created my love for science and the mysterious world of physics. i have to thank you gentlemen with all my heart. you developed the most useful part of my personality. isnt it amazing that two guys with a sheet for a back drop and some pop sticks could do more at educating and inspiring a whole generation of Australians than 12 years of schooling ever could. there are no shows like this today. its all superficial dopemine releasing zombie bulding garbage. EDIT: it seems you were not only played in australia. germany aswell as one man has mentioned. i wonder how many lives you affected.... staggering to think.

[@CuriosityShow]

many thanks, very kind. yes, we went to about 14 countries in Asia Pacific and Europe, dubbed into German in the latter - Rob

[@CuriosityShow]

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 kzbin.info Why not subscribe?

[@canadiannuclearman]

the one with the half twist is mobius strip. The other with the full twist i cant recall please advise. The mobius strip is used on belt conveyors so the material wears on both sides or i should say one side.

[@inter-partyconflict9540]

I believe it's still considered a Mobius strip, just a variation of one. At least, when I was a kid I read a book that treated them as different versions of Mobius strips.

[@vara202]

It seems like a good idea to twist the conveyors so they wear more evenly, but wouldn't you get a lot of strain at the twist?

[@canadiannuclearman]

@@vara202 no not a major twist on the belt it makes the 180 twist over a distance of several feet supported by idlers . you can google images. im a mechanical designer this common for vary long conveyors.

Nicely done! I watched your series in Germany back then and really enjoyed it. I think, if after tearing the last loop into the long whole one it has a double twist. If you cut it along its long side right at the middle, you should also get two separate circles in the end.
