Making a Barometer With King of Random

Grant and I put together an old fashioned device that uses heavy mercury to display the air pressure.

[@OhThatsMal]

Grant with all the safety gear and Cody just doesn't give a flying fuck 😂

[@ethanowens4289]

Aaahahahahaha

[@HH-ly8xw]

Torching the glass tube while holding it with bare hands

[@SuperBlackjacklover]

It's because the gear should be scared around Cody

[@Ispike73]

Well, Cody is a lot smarter than Grant so It only makes sense. I'm thinking a special needs helmet would be more appropriate though.

[@seigeengine]

+Dream Team That's kind of normal. The glass isn't hot anywhere but where you've torched it. It's not very conductive. +Ispike73 Making fun of the mentally challenged. Classy.

[@theCodyReeder]

Grant and I have very different personalities, for instance In editing I boosted my volume by 6 decibels (doubled) and he still is very loud compared to me, But thats not necessarily a bad thing. Together we can think of things neither of us alone can, which is why we occasionally collaborate.

[@bringamosa8480]

Cody'sLab so sad all the negative comments...... i understand you trying New things out but honestly i like your own videos with yourself, Kanyon and the rest more. Doest make me say horr8ble things about tkor though....keep up the good work!

[@StandardName562]

Cody'sLab You guys are awesome together man! 10/10 would watch Hehehe

[@Thelawncarenut]

I thought this was an excellent collab. I learned alot too.

[@JaredBartimus]

I actually prefer your editing cause you see more of the thought process and work behind what you are doing. If you get more into editing I hope you can find a way to keep that same feel to your channel. Obviously his style works for his channel but it would be interesting to see Grant do a "less edited" version on a tkor2 channel or something.

[@samb8414]

Hey Cody can I ask what you think of the metric system and the United States' choice not to adopt it? If it were your choice, would you standardise the imperial system across the world, the metric system across the states or leave things be?

[@-TheRF]

Wow, so weird to see King of Rndom without a billion jumpcuts

[@kaarukun1651]

i know ur being sarcastic, but... atleast keep it to a thousand, just saying

[@scr4pper495]

I like the video cuts though

[@iamkillakill]

exactly to much cuts

[@iamkillakill]

no they need to add cuts

[@MrAndriuxin]

so wired to see him without music

[@coreyhirt8125]

“Time to bring out the big gunzzz” grabs a pair of basic metal working tin snips

[@eggs8021]

That's not what they are. Theyre very large safety scissors

[@IngoDingo]

I think a collab between CodysLab and NileRed would be way cooler!

[@zanpekosak2383]

Max Bambusman Yes!!!

[@ilikemorestuff]

Great idea!

[@Zircon77]

NUTTNUTTNUTT

[@jusb1066]

cody and degrasse tyson would be better, esp if you can get neil to do stuff

[@danielgysi5729]

Unfortunately Nilered is in Canada while Cody and Grant are both in Utah. It would be very difficult

[@goldenduck7294]

It was nice how the video was calm, quite, and concise.

[@jakeagado3463]

Golden Duck its so awkward and cringey.

[@chrisyo3006]

Jake Agado naw just nerdy and focused

[@leavy]

Jake Agado don’t project

[@Near_Void]

Got any grapes

[@TheTiemotje]

Actually, I find the way how Grant is behaving in this video much more fun to watch... he’s not acting strange as he would normally do by exaggerating all his reactions... but I’m the type of guy who’s probably more ‘mature’ (kids/young people might enjoy Grant more by how he normally behaves?). I’m fine with the collaboration as long as it fits Cody’s content and way of representing his channel, because, you know, I’m here to watch a video with Cody’s ‘characteristic’ if you can call it that way, not Grant’s. So good work! 🤗

[@VTF5252]

TheTiemotje Basically how his content used to be.

[@yousuf4364]

Wow. You made a comment about how you prefer cody? Without belittling or generally disrespecting grant? Well done

[@FyreFiend]

the-real-pepe the issue is Grant’s videos used to be more natural and less overproduced. I think a lot of the hate is because we remember the old KoR and dislike his newer format. That being said, if his collaborations with Cody are more like this then I’m happy. He made his choice to change his channel (for the worse in many people’s opinion) but it’s his and if we don’t like it we don’t watch it.

[@maxybaer123]

I think another part of the problem is that grant claims to be doing science/ a scienist when in reality hes an engineer and its annoying sometimes when he acts like his is doing 'science experiments' when in reality hes blowing stuff up I wouldent have a problem if he just said he was having fun but he seems like hes pretending to be educational while just being a person makeing stuff on the internet even if i wanted to i couldent learn from him because i dont trust hes accurate

[@babaganoush9237]

I think it's pretty akward, and Grant made me cringe alot.

[@hi_im_redbeard]

I'm subbed to grant as well and watch most of his videos, but I definitely enjoy watching him much more in this style of video. No loud music or over dramatics, just 2 great guys making something cool.

[@Chaos------]

They seemed a little awkward at first but I thought the video was breddy gud overall. Definitely likable watching the two of them work together.

[@TheRuneChemist]

This is how his videos used to be prior to his "coke slushie" video going viral on youtube. I miss the old style that Grant used to have in his videos.

[@YCbCr]

No music, yay! Sometimes less is more.

[@BrandonGraham]

He did what was right for his channel, but that meant diverging from his initial purpose. I don't have negative feelings towards him, but I unsubscribed a couple months ago when he decided to go for more views instead of better science.

[@TheRuneChemist]

You're absolutely right, I'm still subbed to him, but I really only watch a video if it catches my interest and looks like something he did uniquely.

[@yume2727]

King of Random without background music 😁

[@yume2727]

Oh yes

[@Gameboygenius]

Catchy background music. Zoom and pan. Jump cut. Slow motion of Grant throwing something into the air. "Ok, quick update guys..." More jump cuts. Close-up slo-mo of the finished thing. "Ok, let's recap what we just did..." Montage of clips from the video. "Subscribe, don't forget to ring the bell and join the giveaway and see you in the next one." Punch sound transition to the outro.

[@4xdblack]

my thoughts exactly lol

[@madmoo2658]

Or the color grading.

[@Avaruusrangeri]

Gameboygenius real, but needs more punch sounds to transitions, lol

[@FWtravels]

RIP Grant Thompson. He tragically passed away today.

[@carlaprio]

I died when he said that lmao

[@BothHands1]

removing the effect of gravity along the vertical axis of the tube. Better?

[@michaelsebastian2842]

Rest in peace. I actually heard about Grant through Cody.

[@Joseph843]

Hey Cody I wanted to say thanks for rekindling my interest in science. I haven't been this curious about the world around me for years and it's all thanks to how excited YOU get about science :)

[@htme]

This was fun to watch happen live from the behind the scenes. Cool to see how the final videos turned out!

[@henryk405]

I love your videos keep up the good work

[@Jd0gIsMe]

Grant will forever be missed. RIP King.

[@thomasc7911]

It seems very awkward in there

[@dionbritten5777]

CSGOFAST COM CODE 5MCYM3 Cody really knows what he's doing it does look a little awkward not gonna lie I agree with you 100%

[@bringamosa8480]

First thought i had too hahaha.

[@thomasc7911]

He actually responded indirectly

[@jusb1066]

yeah 'how hard can you suck it grant' .....

[@dionbritten5777]

Jusb1066 hi man Grant was trying to hard when you stand in Cody's domain stuff he specialises in and knows what he's doing you don't mess with that! grant was like I do this but I know it's wrong Cody knew what he was doing but Grant kept getting in the way its great to see them collaborating but when you don't know what you're doing or know anything about the stuff Cody specialises in you don't mess with it man you go with the flow and listen to what he has to say! they are both good in their own ways have good videos but this video was just so awkward in so many ways! enjoy your day man and keep doing what you do best be yourself!

[@matrix5539]

RIP grant, such a great guy.

[@kay486]

two people doing one person job looks awkward as fuck

[@StillNoPickles69]

Jolly Joy This is super hard to watch... kinda just makes me cringe on how some of the passive aggressive disagreements pop up lmao

[@YakuiMeido]

Jolly Joy Lol I was getting that vibe. It feels like a group project were everyone in the group could have done the whole thing in 30 minutes.

[@AnuragDeshpande]

This just put a smile seeing the king of random. Rest in peace ❤️

[@famouslastchild2526]

For an intro, you should bend solder into 'Cody's Lab' and then melt it on a hot plate or something all at once.

[@Jefferson-ly5qe]

And then reverse it so the solid solder rises out of the puddle.

[@papasmjordeig]

It wasnt solder

[@mig636]

Cody's video: Making a Barometer. Grant's video: Sucking Mercury up a tube with your mouth. Says a lot about the kind of audiences these two guys have.

[@BothHands1]

I think it gives a good reference point to picture how heavy our atmosphere really is.

[@Dogman690]

But he didn't lie. It's called eye catching and has been done in showbiz forever. Here's the idea behind an eye catching title "Wait he's sucking mercury through a straw? Why?" *clicks on the video and sees it's a barometer* "Oooh so they're making a barometer and were messing around. I get it" As for cody, he doesn't make thumbnails or eye catching titles because he doesn't care about views. You people forget that grant needs money from this just as much as he likes making videos. I looked at his channel and for the past month every video was INTERESTING. It made me want to watch his video and see what it was really about. Cody on the other hand? I looove his content. But if it ever comes out during the day I just tell myself "eh, I'll watch it later when I'm bored and can't sleep". Grants style: tries to engage audience and gets unneeded hate Cody's style: raw and little editing. Has fanboy's that attack his friends personally because the internet

[@Edgard422]

That's what we call clickbait

[@PianoRootsMusic]

Best comment so far

[@mig636]

Dogman690 I was just making a joke.Sorry if it seemed as if i was attacking his content.Also i think that's the longest reply comment I've ever gotten haha.

[@science_and_anonymous]

it is AMAZING to see the difference of editing style between cody and grant. cody is just so simple and trusts his subscribes to think and learn, while grant just pushes editing tricks to dumb-out his and try to make his "simpled" science a wow factor while cody's complex science doesn't need to have a wow factor as he relies on the intelligence of his own followers to both have their own mind and learn with him and by themselves

[@kaarukun1651]

everyone has their own ways, just respect them for the effort they put into it, cause in the end he's just trying to raise a good family, and everyone wants a healthy and wealthy family

[@notarealname0]

holy run-on sentence batman!

[@TorontoBoii]

I agree 100% on this statement made.

[@rcksnxc361]

science_and_anonymous theyre both kind in their own ways

[@dobbsy9410]

I feel like grant gets people interested in science while cody sort of explains to people who are already interested in science and want to learn more.

[@daltonboy7154]

I love the edit of the video. No annoying music or stupid B roll shots or all the fancy stuff people are doing on KZbin now of days. Thank you for keeping it simple and to the point

[@DoomSkullYT]

so weird watching a video with grant i it, and not have music lol

[@TheKingofRandom]

DoomSkull true story

[@Rickster151413]

I love this. Grant is a great guy and KZbinr, but you can see how hard he tries. Cody just tells it how it is and is obviously smarter. Great video, friend.

It's a phrase, sandyvagina. Calm down. Cancelling the gravitational force. Satisfied?

[@Lizard-813]

I'm glad that your channel gets to grow and all, but please never adopt Grant's overreacting style. *edit: Changed "clickbait" to "overreacting"

[@TheKingofRandom]

[@mrdelete8660]

[@misaalanshori]

The King of Random I would replace clickbait with "overreacting title"

[@misaalanshori]

I'm glad that your channel gets top grow and all, but please never adopt Grant's horrible *overreacting title* style.

[@lajoswinkler]

Kudos for tackling this. I did it a long time ago (still works!) and it's a very gratifying instrument to make. There are few major errors you made that result with problems with this barometer, though: 1) That aluminium base is going to rust away. No doubt about that. Never ever use aluminium to secure anything around mercury. They do leak vapors (don't keep them indoors) and sooner or later that thing will fall off. Use a wooden base secured with iron nails and PVA glue. 2) Use a millimetre paper. As you can see, daily oscillations of atmospheric pressure are tiny. For mercury barometers, mmHg is the best unit. It's metric, translates easily to pascals, and it's dense. 3) That's not how barometer tubes are filled. That little bubble of air at the top is not a small error. Pressure above mercury should be mercury vapor pressure at given temperature. You have a significant air bubble (tube is narrow). This barometer will give off wrong readings. Instead of vacuuming it, let the liquid do its thing. Seal the tube into spherical shape, anneal it with sooty flame (your seal has a great chance of snapping from thermal shock). Secure the tube against a wooden plank and slowly fill it with mercury. Few drops, agitation, tapping on the glass. That completely fills the tube and you can see if there are any trapped air bubbles. Care must be taken not to subject the tube with lots of liquid to acceleration because liquid hammer effect will occur and it will smash the sealed end.After you fill it, hold the opening with a finger, tilt the tube slightly (liquid won't pour out - atmosphere is holding it) and slide it into a bottle of mercury. Then lift it upright, slowly, while tapping the sealed top. Liquid will pour out, leaving a nearly perfect vacuum at the top, vacuum you can't get with even reasonably priced pumps. It's an art and it takes considerable work. It can be downright hazardous because glass snaps and mercury shoots out so make sure the bottle can hold all of the mercury from the tube. Good thinking with the balloon. It shows you understand how this works. What you now have is a baroscope. To make it a barometer, you need proper vacuum inside and calibration.

[@ToastedFanArt]

Loving the videos as always Cody. I take a great deal of inspiration from your videos for my own ones.

[@zippymax1]

LOL this brings back memories. My dad built a barometer like this with me when I was a kid. He also designed our house to hold an entire theater pipe organ, and he assembled it in the living room and played it all the time. Our living room had a balcony opening to a large echo chamber for the pipes. Then he scrapped the analog relays and digitized the connection between console and pipes using eproms and machine language. This was in the early to mid eighties. By profession he was a psychiatrist, but he consulted constantly with electrical engineers. He was also an expert translator of ancient Greek. ;p

[@jinchey]

zippymax1 my dad is a solicitor

[@rich1051414]

My dad never paid child support and did construction under the table so I could continue to be malnourished and bullied for being poor.

[@zippymax1]

Richard Smith: between ages 3 and 6, my dad beat me, mentally tormented me, terrorized me, used me as a guinea pig for nazi-esque parenting experiments. At 16 he medicated me with Lithium and 7 antidepressants when I started driving 130mph in neighborhoods, blowing things up, and threatening to burn down his pipe-organ house. The meds were worthless for me. 6 years of psychotherapy is what I needed. Now all I feel is gratefulness for the good stuff, including the fact that he later begged my forgiveness, and also led me to Christ.

[@jinchey]

zippymax1 now I wanna do lithium

[@zippymax1]

Mountkosiosko: lol go ahead. Lithium is an anti-drug. It only diminishes whatever it affects.

[@ElizabethSwims]

It's interesting watching the thought process and off the cuff adjustments that go into creating something collaboratively.

[@dvdossbsvskfbdvav]

God I miss the old TKoR.

[@Harbingerx81]

Me too. Can't really blame Grant though. Once you decide to go 'all in' on your channel and use it as your primary source of income, you have to follow the views. I loved his old videos and I am happy he has found success, it's just unfortunate that "success" on KZbin means aiming for a less mature audience.

[@Chronos5618]

At least now I can see the colour correction Grant uses on his videos XD

[@Velocity_AU]

Actually Cody's camera is just very de saturated by the looks of it

[@kewakl8891]

Nahh, that's just grant's sunglasses INDOORS!

[@zoggeris]

This is actually what raw footage from high end video cameras look like straight out of the camera. It is meant to be colour graded in post. They probably used Grant's camera, which most likely does record RAW format video. Cody uses a middle end DLSR or something in that range for his videos, those cameras do all the processing in-camera. I'm guessing Cody hasn't discovered the grading tool in his editing program yet (if it has one...)! :) I hope this is the case at least! :P

[@Chronos5618]

Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm a photographer, not a videographer, but it looks just like a RAW image before it's been processed. And yet, because it's Cody I couldn't care less XD

[@MRmessyRoomedPerson]

zoggeris what is the purpose of color grading in post?

[@joblogs7487]

codys' lab and the king of random read high on the BROmeter

[@rishabhbapat5824]

jo blogs underrated comment, although if actually seemed really awkward.

[@mediumugly4322]

It’s surprising how much the editing and music help KORs videos his poses for jump cuts are funny when the cuts don’t come haha

[@ImperatorElite]

Thank you to both for teaming up and it was quite nice to see Grant a bit more relaxed in this video in the sense of not having to promote his usual video on his channel with his usual routine. I enjoy both your channels for various reasons. You are both very different people however still came together to give us this video.

[@bkboggy]

Grant, you did not "remove the gravity."

[@jan050375]

please never become like this other guy.

[@kaarukun1651]

even if he become like him, what's it to you? your just one of his hundreds of thousands subscribers, he can let you go in a dime

[@adamsfusion]

Cody's not in jail, so I guess he's made it so far :P

[@iwal1645]

It's nice to see Grant again, rest well Grant, gone but never forgotten.

[@zerocks88]

I love this, watched grants video first and the formatting is completely different but they're in literally the same room and both videos work great keep up the good work guys

[@DONK8008]

Seems like Grant was trying very hard not to act like a clown for this video.

[@Verriks]

and for me he is more enjoyable than on his own channel

[@kewakl8891]

Still, he struck several odd poses. flashing gang signs?

[@TheKingofRandom]

LOLDONGS No different than usual. Just different editing.

[@PianoRootsMusic]

he didn't want to look stupid in front of an educated audience

[@punkson]

+The King of Random I enjoy both yours and Cody's content. Great work! People with no videos of their own sure have a lot to say to those with hundreds of videos.

[@ol1294]

Rest in peace grant

[@CH-ii5ih]

I actually really enjoyed this saga. I'm an engineering student, but I try to treat it like I have no prior knowledge of what is actually going on. I felt like in the other video, there was a great explanation and in this one it was "Okay, let's make a tool out of this." I thought it was strikingly well done. Great job!

[@fasddfadfgasdgs]

This so much don't understand the complaining about why cody didn't explain it in this video when they didn't watch the other part of the collaboration.

[@Jamestorn48]

To GrantThompson, I was subscribed to you but I found that my interests had changed the older I've gotten. It doesn't mean that your content is bad or that you should changed my specific needs. You hit a demographic and you hit it very well. What you're doing works and objectively it's good and high-quality content it's just not for me and unfortunately it's not for most of the people down here in the comments. The biggest difference between my comment and the hate comments on this video is it I understand the content is not tailored to everybody. Keep up the same good work that's brought your channel success and still brings you success.

[@Subhuman828]

codys biggest feat yet! making grant Thompson appear to be interesting! way to go! keep up the good work!

[@antondemeyer5755]

the king of random looks so much more like a nice guy in these un-edited videos, his own videos look so forced and fake it's horrible to watch

[@yangwenli9808]

Antonymus 19 well that's most youtubers do nowadays

[@zanpekosak2383]

Exactly!

[@11Sparky111]

Grant used to make really good videos, but they got as you said over time as he grew in popularity. I think this video shows through a bit of the old Grant. He's not the massive dickhead as everyone seems to make him out, he just had to change his channel to still make money at the end of the day.

[@rich1051414]

Fake pristineness to hide his faults with fake enthusiasm for his projects with a fake attitude of authority that he knows what he is doing. Grant hides behind a fake persona, clinically scrubbed to maximize his image to deal with all his subs, while Cody is just himself, love it or hate it. However, this is absolutely par for the course for youtubers, and I am not even hating on Grant saying these things. It is just the blunt reality.

[@jasondunn3786]

11Sparky111 Pretty much right after he did his collaboration video with What's Inside over a year ago his entire format changed.. I used to love his videos but now I find myself barely even clicking on them. I especially hate how he splits his videos into multiple parts most of the time now. But I understand you do what you gotta do to support your family so I continue to be subscribed to his channel waiting for the occasional gem.

[@MrDoomperson]

That is so wonderfully simple! Love it

[@traetuusplays8987]

loved it mate. you two both do awesome work. Grant taught me how to make the arc furnace and you taught me how to refine gold. Like you said. it takes you both!

[@tateseacrest4609]

This is way better then grants videos no clickbait or clickbait thumbnail love you Cody

[@JamEngulfer]

How is Grant's thumbnail and title clickbait? It literally shows and describes what the video is about. Apparently people have confused clickbait with 'eye-catching'

[@strandedpb8133]

JamEngulfer Sure, it doesn't specifically say he is ingesting mercury, but by the thumbnail where he is sucking it up a straw it is obvious to me what the intended effect is. This is because to the average person, they would have no idea why sucking mercury would be a science experiment and therefore be naturally drawn to the conclusion that the straw is used to drink like it normally is in everyday life.

[@JamEngulfer]

Jason H: Are you sure? I would have thought that it would be obvious that they weren't *actually drinking mercury*.

[@strandedpb8133]

JamEngulfer You never know, Cody drank cyanide not too long ago, so why not mercury?

[@strandedpb8133]

Dogman690 If you had actually read my comments instead of rushing in to insult me as much as possible you would know that what I'm saying is not that I thought it was okay to drink mercury. But rather that the average person who doesn't know much about science might believe they were in fact drinking mercury. Also, it's not a barometer video, there are two separate videos, one about a barometer and one about sucking mercury through a straw.

[@onett12312]

"Can't wait to see this in action" silly grant Cody dosent make 2 videos to profit.

[@ngneer999]

I think you're supposed to make that without a vacuum pump. You simply flip the tube upside down, fill the tube with mercury and invert it while holding your finger over the end to keep the mercury from coming out.

[@huhulili9021]

Man, i learnt about pressure, never got to see how a barometer is made. Thanks

[@evanmacaulay92]

I’m glad there where no “now to recap on what we’ve done so far”s

[@blablobro]

Evan Macaulay the video is cody style pure and not stretched

[@mister-ke8vt]

You know it's a good day when Cody uploads

[@joshhill4760]

I much prefer seeing Grant with Cody rather than in his own vids. With Cody he is much more calm and not too obnoxiously loud.

[@submerse9993]

I could bounce on that. He seems a little awkward off his youtube channel but I dismiss that as him being kind of a bad boy, Cody I mean, total bad boy.

[@fasddfadfgasdgs]

It's cause the music isn't there. You don't understand how much not having a bombastic music will change things. Nothing bad about it but its more of a matter of opinions and preferences.

[@joshhill4760]

That's probably some of it, the other thing I find is the continuous "so update guys" that Grant does, it really brakes the flow of the video (although to be fair that's him trying to reach the 10 minute mark so its also due to youtube itself).

[@alexanderr.5019]

I think Grant and Cody are serving different audiences. Like many of Cody's fans, I really like his calm personality and his humble videos without all the "look at me, i'm the king!! click here!!" kind of thing going on. Grant calls himself literally the "king of random" and he seems to be more of an extrovert entertainer type. Nothing wrong there, I occasionally watch his videos, but for me, it's a bit too much. I mean, just look at the t-shirts they wear during this video! Could the difference be any more obvious? Nevertheless, I like to see both together and hope for future collaborations.

[@SixTough]

Grant is like Gavin Belson: over the top, cheesy and profit driven

[@hipihypnoctice]

SixTough youtube is his lively hood. He also tries to make projects everyone can do. He also does daily videos now, so projects arent as detailed.

[@IceDragon978]

You include "profit driven" with "over the top" and "cheesy" as if it's somehow on equal footing as a bad thing. Being profit driven is not a bad thing. We're all profit driven. That includes Cody.

[@sobachatina]

IceDragon978 not everyone obviously prioritizes profits above all else. For example Cody is educational even if it means he makes less money by appealing to a narrower demographic. Kor, on the other hand seems to prioritize profits over all else by formatting his videos to appeal to the basest demographics.

[@IceDragon978]

Profit does not only encompass gaining money. If you make money, yes, you're profiting. But also if you enjoy what you're doing, you're profiting. If it makes you healthier, you're profiting. If it makes you smarter, you're profiting. If you're safer for doing it, you're profiting. We all seek profit, as in we try to get more of what we want and/or need and less of what we don't want and/or don't need.

[@jordan9212]

Something felt so off about this video till I realized it had no background music even though Grant was there

[@allwhite8774]

Excellent video, you definitely realize that Cory is all business. He loves what he does, and his style has opened my mind to all different kinds of science. Keep it up Cory!!!

[@Shepard_AU]

I think Cody should start a GoFundMe to have such a laboratory as what Grant has.

[@AdityaPatel-yx2dk]

You can tell the difference in their personalities just by looking at their shirts!

[@ParasPvP]

they will never do a video again together

[@DialecticKaos]

I hope that’s true.

[@PianoRootsMusic]

Phew, we're done well delivering hate to Grant

[@black_squall]

Something tells me Cody will do what Cody wants. It's whether Grant will be up for it.

[@papasmjordeig]

They will

[@lrdkpp1320]

This comment did not age well

[@tropicaltanktv]

Great video, Cody. I hope you enjoyed making it, and teaching Grant what a barometer is and how it works. :)

[@mikeallen9369]

Cody is the only reason I will watch anything with Grant Thompson in it.

[@terryhalsteadgamer]

Pretty disappointed with my fellow Cody fans acting like this towards Grant. You're lowering yourselves and becoming a toxic community. If you have nothing nice to say don't say it. I'm sure Cody will feel the same about this situation. Pretty pathetic from what I thought was a mature, educated and respectful audience.

There are some overreactions. but letting Cody know that we want him to stay the same and that what Grant is doing is not good for us is important..

[@Harbingerx81]

Some of us are just bitter, some of us are disappointed. For me, Grant's channel was one of my favorites years ago when he was smaller and focused on more complicated and unique projects. I completely understand why his style changed, I mean if you are focusing on your channel as a career/primary income, then you have to follow the money when it comes to content and subscribers. Those of us who are disappointed miss his old style and those of us who are bitter feel he 'sold out'. Personally, I am just disappointed, not in Grant or the direction he took things (I am glad things are going well for him), just by the lack of what I consider to be quality content and how much I miss his old videos.

[@rowdy1814]

Harbingerx81 agreed

[@MikeOxolong]

Tez By saying your opinion, you aren't lowering yourself, unless it's a stupid opinion. According to your great logic, you should delete this comment, because it doesn't say nice things to people, who commented they don't like Grant that much.

[@marko3296]

No clickbait thumbnails, no idiotic music in the background.

[@TheLazyKey]

e.g John Oh god... The music.

[@SlartiMarvinbartfast]

Background music really bugs me.

[@5dwolf22]

Let’s just make science boring so less kids grow up watching, because a couple adults don’t like background music.

[@OninDynamics]

This video's comment section is a time capsule, everything I see is 3 years old. Jeez, those were the days... We miss The King of Random...

[@djahmed3115]

always waiting for new videos . love it !!!

[@dilldaniels4939]

TBH grant seems like he has no idea what he’s doing the entire video.

[@svampebob007]

"removing gravity" kinda seem like that yeah

[@gamebot991]

So what I can tell from reading the comments is the grant is like Bill Nye in a way. Everyone liked the older Grant and nobody likes the new, zany, Grant. Hopefully Grant See's past the hate in these comments (if he's still reading them) and meaningfully responds about it instead of making a sob story.

[@scottiegrav]

Love watching y'all crossovers

[@colinhoek]

Been watchin you since you had 20,000 subs. Awesome to see you've grown so fast to 1,2mil!

[@greasyfingers9250]

Cody you sound winded, are you doing any cardio?

[@frenchfatcat]

Grant comes across pretty brainy until he does a video with Cody.

[@TheKingofRandom]

frenchfatcat Good thing it's not a competition. Everyone can learn something from someone else, and I'm happy for the knowledge Cody shares.

[@frenchfatcat]

Just keep the vids coming. Very entertaining.

[@frenchfatcat]

:)

[@kermets]

Cody I like it when you do your stuff by yourself Mate....your such a down to earth guy from the country you dont need any show pony that says "swing"

[@Lostamundo]

Love the collaborations.

[@Codion]

This is like King Of Random but without the music. But i like both styles.

[@ToEric]

Honestly, the hate for grant is really uncalled for. I enjoyed this video/collab a quite a bit. Fundamentally, Grant and Cody have two different styles and audience. There's no reason to hate on/shit on Grant just because you don't like his style as opposed to Cody's, or whoever else's. I took some time to go through some of his recent videos as well, and compared it to his old ones. His titles aren't actually "clickbait". In fact, they're literally what's in the video. The only thing is that he's more excited/hyped in some of his videos, but he really isn't in most of them. tl;dr: The hate on Grant makes no sense for the most part.

[@MikeOxolong]

Some people watched this video and didn't like it, so they disliked it, so cody won't make more videos with Grant. Ther's nothing wrong with that, or giving your personal opinion.

[@ToEric]

Tazer Personal opinion is fine. Shitting all over someone multiple times isn’t. You don’t bully someone you don’t like. That’s fucked up.

[@MikeOxolong]

I haven't read too many comments, but so far I haven't seen any "bullying", or very mean comments.

[@ToEric]

Tazer I dunno. My comment was 2+weeks ago. Could be they got pushed outta the way, or I was dramatizing them in my head. Calling him “King of clickbait” is also considered bullying, mind you (not to mention he doesn’t actually do so).

[@MikeOxolong]

I saw his video about clickbaiting. I don't know the perfect definition for click bait, but calling your videos in a way, that you don't know what is the video about, isn't very nice and I consider it as a clickbait.

[@Nippy0070]

Cody you are amazingly brilliant person, I learn many things from you ...... really. !!

[@noamvardys]

Hey cody. Im a first year med student and i've been watching your videos for years now, and i think that i as well as everyone else would like/benefit from you making a video about capillarity. thanks for every thing

[@Stan_in_Shelton_WA]

Isn't that an imperfect vacuum? I thought the process was to mercury fill the tube and then invert it.

[@lajoswinkler]

YES! You are 100% correct. That is the procedure that delivers a tube that can be calibrated. Their barometer contains significant amount of air above mercury so it can't be used for measuring.

[@klepka5400]

The thumbnail on Grands video is so much more clickbaiting

[@RyanPhoenixAZ]

KlepkaPl PvP Learn the definition of click bait

[@TheAstrolabe]

findme gottem

[@strandedpb8133]

findme He didn't technically say grant clickbaited, just that it was more clickbait-y than Cody's.

[@RyanPhoenixAZ]

Jason H he actually technically did. He even claimed that both channels were click bait by saying that Grant's was more "clickbaiting"...

[@strandedpb8133]

findme First, the thing I said was pretty much just a joke. Second, Grant was the only one who used click bait.

[@samvoignier1582]

Cody im glad see your channel growing

[@MrAlex173]

it's so different seeing grant do stuff and ask questions, love your collab videos :D

[@SudheendraRao26]

Cody you are the best. I hope to see a video with Destin of SmarterEveryDay

[@IFGchannel931]

YES!

[@innerclass1509]

Just a reminder that Grant is kind of guy who thinks that talking to rice can change its color.

[@seigeengine]

You mean he's the kind of guy who conducts experiments to tease information out of the ether. The funniest part is he's made you all look like idiots, because he's shown you for the dogmatic and emotional clowns that you are.

[@ilikemorestuff]

seigeengine You might want to proof read your own comment before posting, thanks for providing a great example of your opinion though.

[@theCodyReeder]

I'm doing the same experiment actually, just on a little larger scale and with more double blind. ;)

[@ficolas2]

Ok, he has corrupted you...

[@Brastius]

Late at night I pee on the inside rim of the toilet bowl because it's quieter.

[@ddrarrow]

Sad that Cody and Grant’s video collab got so much hate. I respect them both for their own content. I stopped watching King of Random as I grew out of it, but I still have plenty of fond memories of watching his videos.

[@thaddeuswalker2728]

The vacuum may be illustrative but a barometer would be more easily made by filling the tube with mercury and having the perfect vacuum happen as you turn the tube over. The vacuum pump adds nothing to the finished product.

[@ki115witch2]

RIP

[@Cryptonat]

I almost didn't watch this video because the King of Non-Random bullcrap. But I can't resist Cody as he actually teaches something.

[@lala7701]

I'll admit, I'm here thanks to Grant's video. I'm a subscriber of his channel for quite a while, don't particularly enjoy every single video he's making, but do find the majority of the content somewhat interesting. But frankly, generally I'm more into the stuff that Cody is doing, yet unfortunately KZbin's algorithm probably doesn't promote channel like this as it's promote channels like Grant's. So thanks to this collaboration, I now have a very good channel to watch and support! See, there's a room for both of them, no need to argue.

[@rainwilson8210]

2 of my favourite KZbinr's together in one video. Ah life is good. You guys are awesome keep it up!

[@Teth47]

Okay people, Grant does mainstream science for normies, there's nothing wrong with that. Cody does more advanced stuff. There's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes they can work together, because Grant knows how to keep normies entertained, and Cody knows how to do science. This is a good thing, they have things to learn from each other. You don't need to defend Cody or attack Grant, they're both fine youtubers.

[@maflones]

Nope, Grant does not do science.

[@PianoRootsMusic]

No, Grant makes entertainment thinly disguised with elementary-level science, but Cody educates us while unwittingly entertaining us with his unprofessionalism and horrible taste of music

[@maxybaer123]

The problem is grant isnt a scientist im not trying to hate what he does its just not science when he claims it is its what gives science a stereotype unlike what it actually is, for example, i have no problem with someone who does similar content to grant like crazy russian hacker because he dosent act like hes a scientist

[@Nimble96]

Cody, when exactly did you turn into Shaggy from Scooby-Doo? Haha

[@illumina8915]

His shirt is even green

[@BUSTERmetalJP]

LMAO

[@Tiger351]

No wonder he grew so many potatoes lol.

[@tfkoincognito]

R.I.P. Grant Thompson, Love you.

[@Ogaitnas900]

I love the mixture of cody style edits and random production haha

[@rayman5533]

Self proclaimed king of random

[@Zorkz]

Can't stress it enough how much of a lower level grants channel is compared to yours, but I of course I understand that collaborating with him will help you grow.

[@RyanPhoenixAZ]

Zorkz I disagree that Grant's is lower level. They are completely different channels. The production and entertainment is way better on Grant's. There is a lot more explanation on Grant's as well

[@bdf2718]

Collaboration with Grunt will result in Cody's channel becoming more like Grunt's. Which will cause me, and others, to leave (as we left Grunt). It might grow Cody's numbers overall, it might not. Which way he goes depends if he values money more than self-respect.

[@ryebread_7229]

Zorkz the explanation from Cody's videos is better and teaches you juring the process, but Grant has more entertaining videos for people that like stuff blowing up and don't care about science

[@Mohnasman]

If better production quality means you'll not watch his stuff then good riddance. I love Cody but better audio levels and some more professional level of editing would just make watching a lot more pleasant. It'll still have his charm and level of intelligence, just better presented. Nothing wrong with growing as a content creator my dude.

[@guyman8627]

nobody is better than anybody

[@IanGrams]

Lol, Grant drilling into that ruler on the back of a vice is his technique in a nutshell. Affix your work, man! Drilling into that cap whole holding it put me at about a pucker factor 5 as well.

[@sethapex9670]

instead of trying to pull the vacuum with the pump you could have closed off the tube, filled it with mercury, and tiped it over into a bowl. you would then have a near perfect vacuum with the exception of the mercury vapor
