If you ever wondered what a real life eccentric wizard , like Merlin would look like...just watch !



[Superfrokid]

I love this guy with a burning passion.

[tangnatalaga]

the background is like frankenstien .lol

[podfunk]

It's Miller time! Good lad he is too.

[wazzy198]

lol, hygroscopic is what he is looking for.

[gemerx]

its like a sauna!

[asal2an8]

this guy is amazing

"The water is boiling... viciously...on occasion"

[HybridNemesis19]

:O !!!

[badatcards]

Sounds like Planet of the Apes music at the start:)

[notna888]

Hygroscopic, that's the word he was looking for

I like the bit at the very end "if Anyone has a different view on the matter, then he is lifeless and dead" so using that sometime

[SuperPootieTang]

it's hydro...something?

[doc955]

Why is it so?

[indiasrainbow]

:P woo hoo great stuff . :)

[Darkfoster22]

INDEED! =D

[jedimastert0810]

this guy worked with Einstein himself, he's a freakin' genius, i just hope i'm that happy when i'm that old

[simotazoa]

Actually he was a student of Einstein... still an impressive claim to say the least : )

[texasghost]

@simotazoa

I heard that as well...that must have been really cool to be in Einstein's class.

[virginlampoil]

I love your shows.

Please be sure to put your goggles on, such as when you put your face in front of that bell jar with high vacuum, which could have imploded.

Keep those demonstrations coming!

[jafarkareem]

Almost like watching a cooking program. Always making several experiments at once. He was most likely a maniac in the kitchen!

[grandaddywh0]

this man's passion was unprecedented, but even as a chemical engineer, the explanations behind his demonstrations can be somewhat complex and certainly can't be covered in 10-15 minute episodes. interesting for people who understand the why's and how's of his experiments, impossible to fully grasp without a background in science. on a personal note, i wish my chemistry professors had been as exciting and energetic as he is.

[eyepatchinc]

i used to have a whole tape of this guy i got off pbs a few years ago. somehow it turned up missing when i moved. so, thanks for posting!

[faizin]

hahaha..great!

[tsny35]

Wonderful!

[kaufmansarah]

*amused* (Berkeley physics 112 class was told to watch this by our prof.) - come on, that's funny.

[EthanRBradford]

He didn't explain why the water boils in the flask when he "lays on his hands". That is because his cool hands lead to condensation on the side of the flask, which lowers the pressure in the flask, which lowers the boiling point for the water.

"And I say this is fantastic. And if anyone has any other view, he is LIFELESS and DEAD!"

[MisterSym]

"How do you do, ladies & gentlemen and boys & girls? I am Julius Sumner Miller...again...still!"
