Yuri and High Pressure Water - Periodic Table of Videos

[Hobypyrocom]

present = money is everything

past = knowledge is everything

[Hobypyrocom]

this type of scientists are disappearing mainly because now days only the scientists that have studied in colleges and are spending billions of dollars for nothing are appreciated while the ones that are really talented and can really make stuff are pushed away because the lack of money for studies or because that's how our capitalistic society works.that is the main reason why in present the scientists progress slower than in the past even they now have all the materials and apparatuses needed.

[MediumNothinFull]

Doc. You are Awesome!!!

[jq747]

In old Soviet Union, special alloy bends YOU!

[MrSilvestris]

My condolences to you and all your students and especially to the family of Yuri E Gorbaty; If this is applicable because there is no biography except for yours. Unfortunately, I see this with a lot of good people where nothing is written about them and I am talking about the internet. The page from Russia hasn't been updated since 1998 and still has his address and phone number. Maybe that's a good thing in a way. I loved your tribute.

[QuaziGNRLNose]

be one with yuri

[MrBCMarijuana]

3:21 :O Martin, clean your computer desktop ;)

[Sunderas]

I would like to have more info about the alloy. Seems very promising.

[pepsibookcat]

So sorry for your loss, Professor. :( *hugs*

[astrafalloccia]

I would like to hear the professor speaking russian!

[killzoomer]

Can we see this puppy in action!?! 2:45

[EisenKreutzer]

A little piece of me dies every time I see christians vehemently arguing against science in the comments to these videos.

[pepsibookcat]

@EisenKreutzer Well, here I am -- a Christian arguing FOR science. Please don't lump all Christians in with the blithering fruitcakes.

[jerricchong]

Have you ever seen so many icons on a computer desktop?!!

[krapptacular]

Looks like he did some awesome machining, indeed. Sorry you lost your friend. I still have those hard to find, old skills. I just suck at most of the new ones.

[otakucode]

@kristijan0kroflin Kids growing up today also have to grow up in an intensely anti-intellectual culture. They learn that being rational and curious and rigorous about your thinking is a sure ticket to becoming an unfeeling, uncaring automaton doomed to never get the girl, always be the butt of jokes, and end up doing nothing but hurting people with your arrogance and hubris.

[Sal1981]

There is (was?) a course in DTU (Danmarks Tekniske Universitet) in experimental physics at the civil engineering level, so I disagree with the good professor that it's a dying breed.

[sleeptyper]

I love handmade equipment - they're like true objects of true science. Sure, theoretical and computed sciences are good too, but they lack the feel of physics - that intuition of something working or not, in my opinion.

[xxdevoidzxx]

the professor is like the only person on youtube that the transcribe audio actually works without transcribing the stupidest shit ever. maybe thats why its to easy to watch these videos :P

[djscottdog1]

sorry that your friend died , really shame , im 16 and ive lost 2 friends already , so i know

[ParadoxPerspective]

IN SOVIET RUSSIA SUPER-ALLOY BEND YOUUUUUUUUU

[dgfia]

Yuri is not dead he's alive in his remarkable works that helps understanding science. RIP Yuri. feel sorry for the loss Prof....

[tradecycles]

USSR STILL LIVES!

[PanzarMetal]

Brady

I'm just very curious, can you ask the professor to speak in Russian for a bit for some video later on ?

Thank you !

An excellent video in memory of who sounds like a great scientist.

Regarding the alloy, the Soviets were known for fantastic metallurgy. Their submarines dove to extreme depths because of their titanium hulls that were never matched in the west.

For those that are interested in steel alloy check out Crucible Industries

[GozoTeen]

What's the Soviet alloy called.... I need it to make my Ironman armor

[Draxis32]

My condolences to Professor Martin, altought I have to comment once again how impressed I am of hearing those words, you are truly a righteous man Martin Poliakoff, this generation of scientist is a dying breed.Nowadays nobody even wants to join research because of the hard path, lack of investments and support.

People want to stay locked up in some company making researches for them, but science and knowlegde is supposed to be shared through the world, its what differs us from other animals.

[mrrobotica]

@Draxis32 No it's not. What differs us from animals is our rational faculties and ability to adapt our environment to us.

[sedwarg]

@mrrobotica which all comes down to intelligence. and the source of our intelligence is the ability to imagine - something other animals can't do

[johnclavis]

Thank you for the beautiful and heartwarming eulogy.

[AnotherGlenn]

Thanks for these videos! I suspect that there are many people, such as myself, who appreciate the depth of the information presented. Most of the science related documentaries we've seen are aimed at an audience that, while interested in science, didn't pursue it past high school. Some of us attended college physics and chemistry classes, and we want to see the math. We're not afraid of equations and units. The hand waving is great, but I'm itching to see some chalkboard action.

[AngelixArch]

Kinda like my middle school music teacher... She too inspired so many of us... :\ And to think that two great people had to go away at the same time a few days apart... :\

[managarm1349]

thats one truly vintage scientific apparatus :)

[pbezunartea]

Did I understand correctly, you are not allowed to discuss over a tea in British labs?

[markusariliu]

@pbezunartea Yes, Eating in labs is not allowed.

[TheMrTantalum]

@pbezunartea Yea. Eating in a lab is kinda dangerous cause all the chemicals that are handled in a lab could get into food and kill you or make you really sick.

[roidroid]

@pbezunartea no, he probably means you are just not allowed to consume things in British labs.

It's just a part of modern lab technique, no eating in the lab. It lowers the risks of poisoning, sample contamination, accidentally spilling a drink on sensitive equipment, things like this.

[MilitiaHQ]

RIP Yuri Gorbaty. Good men like you are a rare breed these days, I hope young people will be inspired by his lifes work.

[2nd3rd1st]

00:00 Dramatic Poliakoff! "Now there're very few..." *dramatic zoom!* "...scientists"

Yes, I watched it with the "Dramatic Squirrel" music in the background. ^ ^

[nzt93]

nice haircut prof :)

[daraghfaceroll]

Tables aren't allowed in the U.K?

[SchumiUCD]

@daraghfaceroll Eating in the lab is probably what's not allowed.

[AluminumStudios]

Thanks for sharing this. The number of brilliant people on the earth is declining.

[Surtak]

I would also like some more specifics on the Sovjet alloy.

[mistulac]

I'm living close to Chernogolovka. Why you havent tell anything about your friend before?

[gulllars]

@mistulac he has, "Y U NO pay attention?" :P

[mistulac]

@gulllars i do. that is way i so upset

[ABitOfTheUniverse]

It would be nice if we didn't die. It is an aspect of our lives we've taken for granted for far too long.

[Lewdeman]

Agreed.

[AmandaSchrodinger]

Ahhh... porque os vídeos não tem mais tradução? D:

[giltine002]

So Soviets created alloy which can not be created in non-Soviet Russian world? :DDD

[SolidGoldKalashnikov]

@giltine002 It could be created, but there is more of an emphasis on commercial applications and profitability in the modern world.

[sveegaard]

@giltine002 Perhaps. But I bet that if you took your time to do XPS, XRF, AAS, DSC etc., you'd get the recipe in a few years.

[xlrv1]

Why can contemporary students only dream of such experimental equipment? Is it that there are no longer laboratory budgets? Or is it that the Age of Internet has stifled their imaginations?

[DracoMhuuh]

I don't know if i'm a good experimentalist since I'm only in the beginning of my student career but I know I'm very passionate about my courses ;) pasionate people are not dead Professor. =D

[Barnekkid]

Very moving. Sorry that we have to lose this fine man.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

this is one of those vids where we should be allowed multiple clicks of the like button. one simply doesnt do it justice. sorry to hear, Proff P, but thankyou for sharing. Im sure many on here view you as you did him, if thats any consolation. Jono.

[multisimple]

professor what is the real name of that soviet alloy?

[Hindsite502]

As a materials engineer I've got to ask, what was the name of that alloy? Any idea what the constituents are?

[rogerdotlee]

Quick question: what kind of alloy was that bit of test kit made out of? I didn't quite catch the name of it in spite of watching it more than once.

[ZioulR]

@rogerdotlee "soviet alloy made before the fall of communism".

[TheChemlife]

I think this video is a fitting eulogy of sorts for someone who clearly meant a lot to the professor. After hearing this short testamant to a man i'll never know makes me wish I had a chance to know him. I disagree with one part however. The generation of scientists like yuri is far from gone. It is in the ambition of the students where we now look for the brilliant minds who will continue the tradition of amazing science. Profesor I'm sorry for your loss

[bobthebuilderonlyhas]

THE PROFESSOR SPEAKS RUSSIAN?

+1000 awesome points

[insanic1]

@bobthebuilderonlyhas of course he can speak russian, the professor is a jewish russian

[SEThatered]

True scientists don't care about political struggles and ethnic differences.

Imagine worlds most talented scientists working All together (not racing against each other): that would speed up the progress millionfold!

[icebearlover14]

@SEThatered I think political differences speed up process due to competition, ie Nuclear weapons in WW2

[VarunRevamped]

RIP Sir Yuri. :\

[VarunRevamped]

Cool Hairstyle, bro.

[ichangedtheworld]

When Professor talks it makes me want to go back and learn Chemistry. Something that was never pressed upon me and now watching these videos wish it was.

[flyingbeagles]

Rest in peace.

[culwin]

Yeah what's the deal with this secret alloy?

[doverlin]

@culwin Сплав государственную тайну.



[Nashy119]

Pro 'soviet alloy video' post.

[un2mensch]

Tonight I drink a few shots for Yuri E Gorbaty

[retsilla88]

I would really like to hear more about this alloy :D

[leptonsoup337]

What an excellent tribute. Thank you for sharing.

[anish4]

More info on Soviet alloy please

[Blinkwing]

@anish4 it could probably be high-dense-titanium

[AstAMoore]

@anish4 I think he means pobedit.

[hla27b]

@anish4 Someone mentioned that it might be the alloy "Pobedit". It is a powder metallurgy alloy consisting of tungsten carbide crystals glued together with cobalt binder. Powder metalllurgy is a field that Russians pioneered and probably led the world for long time. Altough Pobedit is not being produced any more there are many simiar metals which are widely available.

[hla27b]

General properties of "Pobedit" and similar alloys are their extreme hardness and abrasion resistance. Basically this thing will cut through most anything that we know except perhaps diamond. The only practical way to cut this thing is called "spark erosion" it also can be somewhat polished using diamond paste.

You can see many videos of similar metals if you search for "CNC machining". The small yellow chunks on those videos are very similar to this one except they are coated with titanium.

[djscottdog1]

@anish4 yer i defiantly would like to know about the soviet alloy

[Pianoguy32]

video on soviet alloy please :P

[NiePatrzSieTutaj]

Omg Its the same with me .

Its difficult for me to speak in English ,

but I can write it just fine:)

[hitachi088]

@NiePatrzSieTutaj same thing with half the asian population (half of those who know english).

[nickbhalo]

Wow, I'm one of the first 2000 viewers..

[letterpool]

I'm curious about this russian metal that is no longer made... 

[ImperialLobster]

@letterpool me too!

[36ss36]

Rest in peace, Dr. Gorbaty.

[tibby499]

5:38 I`d like to hear some more about that tea.

[afhdfh]

Oh, come on, Professor, you're not giving young scientists the credit they deserve. Many of them are ingenious and very devoted to their work.

[infinummjb]

Wait a second, tea table in a lab is forbidden in the UK? The world is ending ;P

[werothegreat]

Did he get out the Mendeleev vodka for a toast?

[MrRapidPotato]

good going, why do older generations have such little faith in the younger? i agree with what you're saying; it is a great loss, but to insult the whole generation of new scientists is arrogant.

[childrenofbodomfan74]

i agree. it would be nice to hear a little bit moe about that alloy

[llloyd4]

@childrenofbodomfan74 Yeah, agreed, especially why it's not being used any more if it's so great?

[Camyum]

Have you studied the great Austrian Water Wizard Viktor Schauberger?

[IncendiaHL]

In Soviet Russia - Soviet alloy bends you!

[AtakanNW]

@IncendiaHL Правда !

[leptonsoup337]

@IncendiaHL Ah! You beat me to it!

[DXR13KE]

He lives forever in science.

[twistedbass15]

отличное видео

[Webofscience]

This is a very interesting video to me personally, since I use infrared spectroscopy to look at the absorption mechanisms of water by minerals from the mantle in subduction zones. Techniques have certainly improved since those days...

[GerbrandThunder1]

cameraman, please move your camera slower

[teknotoast]

Ya tebya lyublyu Professor! pardon my lack of cyrillic

[Shannariano]

3:56

what's the name of that alloy?

If it's so strong I could name more than a few applications, so why is it out of production?

[rahulpower]

RIP

[P55CxE9]

This was really beautiful!

[ASoggySandal]

Could we have more information on the Alloy used? It sounds rather interesting

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

Would that be Catha Edulis tea? The reason its illegal is because of racist antimuslim prohibitionists. Most drugs are illegal because of racism, not because of science.

[Jebus495]

Pretty sure we gotta pin down the procedure for producing that alloy. Sounds baller.

[3doog]

I want to see the Professor speak Russian!

[jakob1410]

I think the alloy was something like Pobedit, look on wikipedia. It would fit. Btw good video

[luckystrke]

I hope some day (not any time soon of course) someone will make a video like this about you:)

[MarkusNemesis]

Did the professor remember to take his shot of Vodka in remembrance? 

[luckviewer777]

PROF!!! have you spoken to yuri?

that would be awesome

[quosmo1]

i had never even heard of him before but somehow after watching this, i feel a loss. nice video!

[jawayetti]

The Institute of Experimental Mineralogy (IEM) in Moscow still lists Yuri as current staff complete with phone and fax numbers. :(

[jawayetti]

What is the rock/mineral/ore is displayed on the wall just below Yuri? Looks like it came from a mountainous region and I suspect it is likely radioactive.

[letsdie45]

Question for the professor:

how come they don't make the soviet alloys anymore if it is so strong? what was its composition?

[ReamKovalski]

@letsdie45 lots of things were stoped producing after stalins death

[salimras123]

Yuri died? Just after Soap passed?

[MaxMyrmyr]

professor what do you know about Григорий Майрановский

[thisusersuck]

thanks for interrupting me with my green chemistry lab report, grrr too much interesting stuff from this channel haha

[sooguru]

nice :)

[MrBigape1]

Love periodic videos, can't wait for January also.

[johnchj]

Sorry for your loss. He sounds like a special man.

[ReamKovalski]

i have a qustion to proffesor: вы говорите по-русски?

[periodicvideos]

@ReamKovalski yes he does

[ReamKovalski]

@periodicvideos could he make some videos in russian? it would be great, if i could show it to my class here in russia

[periodicvideos]

@ReamKovalski we are looking into a Russia trip next year maybe... I am sure some Russian videos would result.

[ReamKovalski]

@periodicvideos oh great!! tell me if you go trip in summer! i wish i could see you in person :)

[odv000]

@periodicvideos

офигеть!

вот этого я никак не ожидал!

[Smalas]

That's a very inspiring story.

[hooloovoo1st]

I don't think he could ask for a better eulogy than having his work used to inspire a new generation of scientists - the viewers of these videos!

[TheWOWXDWOW]

awesome

[SuperCorey95]

:)
