Lecture Five: The Chemical History of a Candle - Respiration & the Burning of a Candle (6/6)

[@beansprouts113]

Brilliant series with some great demonstrations! I love how you kept to original language used too. Thanks for sharing

[@engineerguyvideo]

That is all due to Michael Faraday of course ...

[@beansprouts113]

Of course, I'm sure everyone appreciates the effort you guys put in too though

[@rushianokun]

Thank you for unearthing this, its really top notch material, thank you so much

[@justmeayden7827]

Rushiano lol

[@redbarond1]

You should look into the companion book too. I bought the hardcover because it was so good.

[@atmazee]

Amazing that a lecture from the better part of 200 years ago is still as informative and interesting as this. Thanks for creating this content.

[@carlospitcher4335]

I have gone through all of the lectures, they are clear, interesting and full of the right amount of detail that makes people want more. I can see all the effort and hard work in action here. Congratulations to your team and yourself. Thank you so very much for sharing them, the quality is astonishing.

[@tbp4cfym]

Thank you for making this series and the commentaries. I am your average Joe when it comes to science, but know enough to normally understand things by the context. I learned that 1- The wax in a candle is the fuel. I always thought the wax was there to keep the wick from burning too fast. 2-What i knew as suction is actually "air" pushing down, not the suction "pulling" down. 3- that the combustion from the respiration process is what keeps us warm. I learned a lot from these and enjoyed them immensely, these are just a few things that completely changed the way I viewed them.

[@notanimposter]

Michael Faraday had a silver tongue! This series has been so beautiful to listen to.

[@aaroneusmaximus]

I really have to say, this was so well done and it absolutely captured my imagination. I literally dropped everything and watched these several times. I would pay good money for lectures of this caliber. I wish my college courses were like this. Please keep up the good work. The world is a better place with you guys in it. I hope you come out with something in print so I can get your autograph!

[@wndmier90]

that was beautiful, excuse me if a commit mistakes writing this (because i don't speak english), but these videos that shows that level of love for science and the functioning of the world is what makes life better, these are the feelings that makes me feel grateful about been alive and astonished with the universe.

[@theneroliveira]

What a privilege to hear the great teachings of the genius that was Michael Faraday! Such great care in production and in not only preserve the contents of the book but such vivid experiments! Thank you very much for this series and hopefully teachers everywhere will use it to inspire kids to science!

[@snowpdx]

That conclusion reminded me of another pair of luminaries, who once said "be excellent to each other"

[@605nkr]

Rock on dude.

[@HenningStrandin]

This is a work of art, both in the original and the reproduction. Thanks! (Also explains why scientists used to be rock stars. This is a magic show and a poetry reading and a scientific lecture.)

[@steventhehistorian]

What a profound series. Thank you Engineerguy for doing good for mankind and freely sharing Faraday's lesson with the world.

[@davidi.levine6253]

Faraday was a genius at teaching as well as science. You use of video improved his fantastic work by cutting out all the boring parts. Amazingly successful.

[@BenOliver999]

Bill, what a wonderful series of videos bringing Faraday's work to a new audience. What a time to be alive, that I can watch this from my couch!

[@robertthallium6883]

This and 3Blue1Brown are the most enlightening producers on KZbin. Thank you, Bill for every effort you put into your productions.

[@jjohnson137]

What a great series. What an example of how the Internet can function as a transmitter of knowledge. Keep up to excellent work.

[@lulzjeffy1337]

This series was an absolute joy to watch, and was narrated beautifully. Thank you so much for your time and effort, and for showing us the beauty that is in the science of all the things that surround us. Cheers!

[@bradduke]

Absolutely riveted. I can't thank you enough for recreating and uploading these lectures.

[@donwald3436]

Thanks Bill. This is a great explanation of why science is not just another system of faith.

[@xtranormal2350]

It's amazing how experiments like these were what was used to construct the models for atoms and chemistry.

[@narnbrez]

It was very interesting hearing him describe (in language older than ours) the concept of "elements" in a previous video while not explicitly getting atomic. They really were groping in the dark compared to us!

[@mikeissweet]

Epic. Faraday sits high in my top five list of experimenters. His ability to intuit physical phenomena was astounding

[@wizardOfRobots]

Mr. Engineerguy, I'm sure your own lecture series will go down in history to be at least as famous as Mr. Faraday's. Hearfelt Thanks for taking the time and effort!

[@AMalas]

I really liked that its all at once, it helps to ensure that I dont forget stuff between lectures! here is a wonderful suggestion though: why not post them all at once, but have only the first listed. you can then tell views to click the link to go to the rest of the videos or to wait for you to list it later! that would make everyone happy.

[@chris_1337]

That was beautiful, from start to finish! Thanks for not changing the language.. it's so poetic.

[@yawnfarm_4664]

Thank you, I am very grateful to have seen this series, all I can say is how inspiring it has been for me and makes me want to do more to educate myself.

[@EldeTabernas]

Amazing series. Can't wait to see more projects like this!

[@danilomartingonzalez6117]

That was beautiful. I loved the decision to maintain Faraday's poetic language, it adds the emotion of verse to the logic of science. Excellent work on this series! 👏👏👏

[@jerrydriscoll8636]

I developed and published the burning of magnesium in dry ice. J. A. Driscoll, “Ultraviolet Absorption of Ozone,” J. Chem. Ed., 54, 675 (1977).

[@epock7]

Thank you so much for the time and effort placed into this series and this channel. A wonderfully faithful recreation of Faraday's lectures. I hope that your efforts may be used to inspire the generations to follow. May we all follow your footsteps to share the knowledge we have with those around us.

[@brianpso]

This was so inspiring. I think I'll never look at a candle the same way for the rest of my life. I cannot thank all of you who made this incredible series enough, these words sounded like poetry and the demonstrations were so well crafted, insane.

[@redbarond1]

The ending statement is one of the most inspirational things I have ever heard.

[@dreyfusslugado]

What a beautiful series of lectures! Thank you Bill! And thanks to your team, too.

[@tamilplaychannel]

THANK YOU Bill Hammack & Others ! A candle will lighten up your knowledge !!

[@kevinbyrne4538]

Thank you for taking the time and trouble to prepare this series of videos. I'd long intended to read Faraday's book, but now I've heard it read -- with demonstrations. Again, you have my sincere thanks.

[@BillySugger1965]

Bill, that lecture series was absolutely delightful! Thank you.

[@velikiradojica]

Thank you very much for adapting these lectures and providing them to us in a video format. These were very educational, even though we learn about it all the way from elementary school in the 21st century.

[@ZeedijkMike]

This has indeed been a very enjoyable serie. Very well made and informative. Thanks so much.

[@davemiddleton2052]

So beautiful. Thank you so much for this priceless recreation.

[@Glasgo]

fantastic series! I enjoyed being able to watch it all at once rather than over the course of a few days or weeks.

[@AidanHockey34]

This was amazing! Excellent work on the demonstrations and presentation, Bill. Hats off to your co-producers Alex, Don, and team as well. I would absolutly love to see you and your team tackle more of Faraday's lectures, particularly the ones involving electricity! I also really enojyed watching you exhibit some chemistry demonstrations as well. I think it would be really great to continue with some more chemistry-centered EngineerGuy videos complete with your unique presentation style and practical demonstrations.

[@JhormanGMore]

This was amazing! You are an inspiration as an educator and your team should lead major TV shows. Thank you for doing this!

[@justinrbland]

Phenomenal series! Wow! I absolutely loved this series. Thank you for your passion and attention to detail. Simply incredible.

[@snaprollinpitts]

thanks Bill, for this wonderful series. I wish I could've had you as one of my Professors in college.

[@piratapan]

@10:55 Bill Hammock hittin' it!

[@Kabitu1]

Smoke lime erryday!

[@geico-lz9ip]

Using a bong in the name of science.

[@EamonBurke]

Imagine walking in on this dude doing this with the smell of smoke and lighters and ash laying about. It'd give one pause.

[@lulzjeffy1337]

Ayyyyy blaze it 420

[@christhecurler]

Thank you for all your hard work recreating these lectures!

[@danielavargas3091]

Brilliant! Your five lectures saved my semester, thank you so much

[@1TrTlq]

Just finished this series of lectures. brilliant, all this just from a candle.

[@c182SkylaneRG]

Here I thought I knew a lot about Chemistry, and yet I learned quite a lot from this series!! Thank you, very much! :)

[@squanchy474]

How does this video only have ~500 likes, this is great! Why didn't they teach chemistry like this in school ?

[@narnbrez]

Thank you so much for all of your videos Bill!

[@pianoman178]

This was great, educational, and entertaining. I will be recommending this to everyone I know. Thank you.

[@emcgon]

Coming late to this series, but it is beautiful and magnificent: poetry and science together.

[@engineerguyvideo]

Late! It is evergreen, designed to on the internet forever ...

[@Ragtime_Tony]

I had to read the book for school but this is all look much better!

[@berendbeumer9204]

Awsome series! The quality of your videos is among the best on youtube! Thanx :)

[@top2percent]

Wonderful! Thank you for your labour of love

[@YBuda101]

Great series. Love the commentary combo!

[@meapyboi]

mann this table has been through a lot

[@geoffgeoff143]

Fascinating series. Easy to see why we have chosen such an interesting item to help celebrate the anniversary of our birth date.

[@heimbad]

Beautiful series, extremely well presented, great idea! Thank you very much.

[@LeonardBottleman]

A magnificent series beautifully produced.

[@WestSideRida420]

This is an awesome series. Thank you Bill!

[@gwgtaylor]

Love it. Thank you for putting this together.

[@gman012341]

This is a great series and i would think a good idea for future videos

[@feelingzhakkaas]

Excellent and very effective video series and demonstrations. Thanks for such great work.

[@KOWspazed]

Fantastic! Beautifully captured for video.

[@markbell9742]

Thanks again. Beautifully done. Cheers, Mark ***************

[@TheJaredtheJaredlong]

Really great video series. Thank you so much for making these.

[@Tonicwine999]

Wow that series was amazing. Loved the depth you went into and also the many experiments. Fantastic :)

[@ShanerTheGrey]

Thank you for making this series everyone of these videos were great.

[@moristar]

It's so amazing. And I personally have no issues following lectures, although English is not my mother tongue.Indeed. thank you very much, sir! ;-)

[@ihrbekommtmeinenrichtigennamen]

Wow. Mind = Blown. I would have never guessed that all of this stuff is going on simply by lighting a candle.

[@fogelmclovin6815]

Thank you for the series and companion book!

[@PointyShinyBurning]

These have been superb, thanks so much for doing them!

[@Ghilliedude3]

Fantastic series!

[@EconaelGaming]

Thank you for preserving this fantastic lecture!

[@biostemm]

Fantastic series! You now need to do it in costume, and on an appropriate-era set. You are very soothing to listen to as well.

[@nikhilkhedkar277]

Very nice lecture series. It's worth seeing

[@eliasilyich]

An inspiring presentation.

[@tomcerulwork]

Well presented! Thank you for bringing this work to life.

[@ElectricityTaster]

Seems like a lot of attention to detail went into creating all this, even the fonts used for the PDF. Really well done. The only thing I can think about that is not ideal is that this series is not in 4K. Higher resolution would make them more appealing down the road when 1080p starts to seem like 360p, although it might make editing and uploading a pain. But heck, you probably thought about all that already.

[@engineerguyvideo]

+agun17 yeah we shot this on our first equipment: these are in HDV! Not broadcast quality, but that was the best we could do when we shot these -- prosumer cameras recording to digital tape. Now we have nicer equipment.

[@DanSpotYT]

Excellent work and much enjoyed the series. Thank you!

[@djolley61]

Wow, I loved the comparison to us to candle.

[@gumble223]

Amazing work. Great job. Thank you.

[@SudipBhattacharyya]

Thanks a lot. I am enlightened.

[@jp040759]

Fantastic series. Thank you. One question though. Why do we perform CPR if the CO2 exhaled can kill a candle???

[@ElectricityTaster]

Because we normally exhale quite a bit of oxygen. The longer you hold your breath, the more CO2 and the less Oxygen you will exhale. Someone who needs ventilation will have a much higher CO2 content in their lungs than the air being exhaled into their lungs by the rescuer, specially if the rescuer exhales the air quickly after inhaling a large amount of air.

[@TheyCallMeNewb]

Bravo! Dephlogistigated aire shant, not even with modicum of time, be taken as granted.

[@ChristopherMonaco3]

These were wonderful! Thank you!

[@eqlzr2]

I wonder if reducing the speed of information delivery results in greater retention of the information, and thus the benefit that the information can be put to?

[@ExerciseUpdate522]

Thank you I needed this

[@AustinHarsh]

This was a great series! Thank you so much! :)

[@jorgenieto2972]

Great lesson thanks

[@xnamkcor]

Time to break out YAMB and make some videos to watch on my commute. PS: Any plans for a video disc release? Like a bundle with the book?

[@syntheticelementvids]

Thank you for these videos.

[@65gtotrips]

Isn’t there at least some Carbon Monoxide also thrown off by the incomplete combustion of the candle as well ? I.E. like an oil or gas furnace, generator, or oven ?

[@Ahmedhkad]

Thanks , all lectures is amazing and helpful

[@aargrin]

well thank you for that lecture. I have learned a lot.

[@Minzkraut]

Whats the name of the song playing in the outro? I've been looking into the description several times but im sure its not in there.

[@pyromen321]

FIRST (6/6) I got 5 out of 6 in the series. I can die happy now

[@theguy181099]

Pretty irrelevant thing to get happy about...

[@pyromen321]

theguy181099 I define myself by the rare moments I rise above mediocrity,

[@cgarzs]

Amazing series, very well done. However I keep hearing "Let us consider shitter, which will serve my purpose" at 13:07 lol. Thanks for making this series. It was a joy to watch :-)

[@AdamZovits]

Great series, thank you for taking the time to shoot it with such great quality. Although there is a typo at around 2:00 in this part, where the on-video caption mistakenly writes "oyxgen". I know not much of the rules of KZbin, is it possible to get this fixed?

[@engineerguyvideo]

Alas that is embedded in the video and cannot be changed.

[@mystery_1155]

time to slap an annotation over it and call it fixed

[@AdamZovits]

Mystery _ Yup, that's what I saw on other channels too when they made a mistake.

[@AMalas]

+engineerguy Dont change it, it will call for attention! I did not notice it at first! I love this series btw

[@YawnGod]

What a glorious bong.
