Make a safe candle surround

[@anameofsomesort959]

Thank you so much Rob and Deane. My nephew and I love your videos and these are all 1000% better most of the trash that is avaliable on youtube. We love trying what we see on the show and it's a great science learning tool 40 years later. You're still helping young kids learn and making me the coolest uncle ever!

[@CuriosityShow]

Many thanks - appreciated - Rob

[@shaneeslick]

G'day anameof somesort, Tes it is Way Better than most of the Trash available for kids on YT or Social Media, Awesome to hear you & your nephew love watching together as I used to watch Curiosity Show with my Grandpa & do the experiments or craft 👴🥰 Some of my best memories.

[@wespaul9345]

KZbin? Well yes it is superior. This was network tv in the 70s and i merely wish to add its a billion times better than todays network garbage.

Still learning things from the Curiosty Show after all these years. Thanks Rob.

Fire, wires, scissors, candles, sharp aluminium - no kid gloves. Love it.

These are Life lessons for all ages. Much love and appreciation for the years , Rob and Dean put in.

I love this channel still and I'm always glad to see a new upload.👍 This style of lamps was pretty helpful for miners especially when a damp was encountered. If the tip of the flame at arms length turned grey/blue it meant methane was aloft and burning within the lamp. It was a safe alternative and potentially an indicator of gases. I believe it came before the carbide lamps (which I enjoy and have a few of) which were much brighter but couldn't be used in the same environments without a mesh cover. Ironically I have brass mesh for RF shielding near broadcast towers and I may just have to make one of these like a traditional style as a project.

Thanks. I'm 38 and remember watching this when I was my sons age. And he piques an interest in my videos. There's hope yet

[@jamesduncan6729]

That is just way too clever. I love these videos so much, many thanks Rob and Deane. This show is such a great accomplishment 👍🏻❤️

Many thanks, kind of you - Rob

Can I just say, as a testament to the quality of this work I genuinely believed this was aussie blokes in 2022 making science accessible for young adults by 'dumbing' it down to kids level Then for aesthetic made it feel and look 90s Brilliant stuff and a genuine respect for their audience, have to say the fact that they genuinely made these for school kids and yet it is still both entertaining and fairly informative to an adult is astounding to me (especially because I generally already know the idea being discussed in the videos, yet it's always so refreshing and well presented I still feel like I learn something, or at least have some fun!)

[@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?

Arts and crafts involving tools way back when it was "be careful because of [reasons]" instead of "get an adult". Good old days.

[@AdroSuperDopa]

For a frame or two I did see the flame on the lighter side of the mesh.

[@jamesduncan6729]

It won't stay lit, which was the point of that segment

[@Clay_Town195]

Thank you guys for this awesome content! I love the old-school style. It’s so entertaining and relaxing to watch. Always look forward to your videos 👍🏻 P.S. A solid goatee makes science even cooler 😂 keep rockin’ it Rob!

[@jamesduncan6729]

I agree, Rob's quite the handsome man. Makes me jealous, because I can't grow much in the way of a beard.

[@MileyonDisney]

WOW! I did not know that. Very interesting. Thanks!

[@treykearns4867]

Hot tip- before stitching your mesh you should fit it into the can and use a piece of tape to hold it together at the proper size to fit inside the can, rather than ruin a pair of scissors trying to cut metal. Then stitch together.

[@Hellefleur]

What do you mean?! Gauze = Fabric. Just use your mom's or wife's fabric scissors.

[@Zone_Tan]

We need more things like this these days. Kids just grow up with a phone on their hands and use it only to look at stupid things on Facebook or Instagram, just to follow temporary trends that do not really add anything to their lives. The generations keep on declining, but stuff like these videos maintain me a little bit saner than I am... aaaaaaaaaaaaa just kidding I still hate humanity lol. I binged all the videos already. For 2 - 7 minute videos, you guys made a lot of them. Rob did interesting documentaries and curious things, while Deane always made me facepalm when I realized how dumb I was when I said "...But that's impossible." and always was proven wrong. Mad respect Rob / Deane.

[@CuriosityShow]

Very kind. I believe all children should get confidence in making and doing things with their own hands. if they don't do it early enough, they often lack the confidence to start later - Rob

[@Zone_Tan]

@@CuriosityShow Indeed. There are many things wrong with today’s generation, but unfortunately, it just keeps getting worse. From the point of view of someone younger like me, I really see no more evolving on humanity. Yet, technology made massive breakthroughs over the last fifty years. I grew up, with a good balance between technology and physical interaction with the outside world, but kids these days don’t even know what grabbing a stick from the backyard and pretending it was a gun is like for example. Here in Puerto Rico, growing up as kids is basically just learning how to be a gangster. When I was a kid, I had multiple guys on my schools who carried guns, or even sold drugs to others and stuff. It was a normal sight to see, but shows on the TV like CuriosityShow didn’t really exist because all we had were cartoons at 4 PM, and if you missed that, the rest was just bad news of homicides and the like. So the best course of action was just to grow up with videogames. A lot of people say videogames are violent and do not teach anything, but I digress. My english, both written and spoken, have been polished over the years thanks to them and these comments prove it. They do teach kids important things in life, from dangerous things, to intellectual things. It is the vessel residing inside the human skull which has to be trained to understand that videogames are not real life. Which a lot of people lack, and take it to the real world. Even if all this is true, science is still wonderful. But in today’s society, both science and technology, are exceeding the limits and capacity of the actual human brains roaming the streets, dead by social medias, teached to silence and not voice their thoughts and concerns. We live in a frightened society. Nobody wants to try something new, out of fear what might happen, or what others might think of them. I am often called “cringe” by people my age, but to me, that is way better. It means I have stepped above the masses and finally made an image for myself. I enjoy things like this show, because despite them being mostly for kids to try to make stuff, and encourage them into trying new things, as an adult, I still see many things coming from it that I didn’t know and learn about it. I enjoy learning, a shame that today’s society thinks of that as weird and a waste of time, everyone’s too busy following garbage trends, and seeing what celebrities do or wear. Shows like these replenish my faith in humanity, if by a little bit. But every positive addition, is a rare and needed reassurance.

I just realised that it's most likely Rob playing the trumpet in the intro music. Although I think I've seen Deane on the piano. Great scientists, musicians and makers of cool educational TV shows!

What size mesh is the metal gauze? I.e., what gauge wire is it woven from, and how many squares per inch?

[@CuriosityShow]

Just bronze flywire

I really love the Curiosity Show and the things they are showing, but honestly, this 4:45 is probably the ugliest candle I have ever seen. And "save" is relative, the paper at 5:10 started charring and smoking in seconds, only a matter of another few seconds it would have caught fire. But anyway, I love this show, and thank you so much for bringing this up on KZbin! I saw this show in TV in Europe as a child in the early 90s, with german voiceover, it's such a pleasure to see this 30 years later again. Totally forgot that is awesome show exists.

[@treykearns4867]

Centimeters? What are those like pesos?

[@jeremyhall7495]

Spelt "centimetres", centi meaning 100. i.e. 1/100th of one metre. Great question!
