Concerning what some countries pay their teachers....you cannot blame a teacher for a lack of passion. And we cannot all be scientists. Too bad but this is they way it is.
EDIT: Now with English subtitles! It doesn't matter if you've been naughty or nice this year because the man, the legend, the chemist extraordinaire, Andrew Szydlo is getting us all some coal. Metaphorically of course, in the shape of this fabulous lecture about the history, uses and chemistry of coal.
It's not foul! It's not! It smells glorious! God I love the smell of coal fire. I know it's death poison. I can't wait until it's gone from everywhere. Because when it's gone from everywhere, I can burn coal in a fire and it'll have zero effect on the environment and only poisons me.
The best lectures and lecturers in the world! Ive learned more about chemistry from The Royal Institute than I have from my own university. Can I just get a degree from you guys?... Haha. Andrew does a great job, love it!
Absolutely delighted to play a small role in this lecture! And together with Oskar we are now the minions of the grand master Andrew Szydlo! And very proud to be! I have never learned so much from just one person
It was a pleasure to see you enjoying your self there, had a few laughs myself. A fine master and gentleman of fire. It was a pleasure to watch and learn.
@@Groink1 No, I work as Chief lab technician in a school. I've known Szydlo for many years and attended many of his lectures in the past. I started by suggesting a few things and offered helping whenever I could.
That's awesome! I could listen to Professor Szydlo all day! He makes chemistry fun! I'm a medical student, and I so wish I had professors like this who obviously loved both the art and the science!
I love the throwaway remark around 42 minutes in that he learned something while prepping the lecture. All too many experts try to appear to know everything, so for me the mark of a real scientist is that joy in finding and breaking the limits of one’s ignorance.
Such a humble man... he doesn't even want applause. My dear Dr. Szydlo, we are all applauding you. You are truly a gem of a human being. Those of you who were taught in the classroom by Dr. Szydlo should consider yourselves to be very fortunate.
I would love to see him give a lecture without a time limit. I get the feeling he could go on for hours and it would be fascinating and entertaining the entire time. It's too bad I'm too old to be one of the kids in the audience and that I'm on a different continent. It's a great introduction to the fact that we have been spoiled by coal. Cheap energy and vast chemical resources.
This man is definitely one of my favorite educators. His passion for chemistry has left me feeling like a kid again, wanting to learn about everything i come in contact with.
I love Andrew's presentations. He gets SO enthusiastic and is really inspirational! I wouldn't want to be in his family though! Poor Oskar!!! The lad must be exhausted!!
Well, it took him longer than usual but the non-stop streaming consciousness and the constant flow of thoughts and words eventually took hold. There's nobody like him. We salute you Andrew!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrew Szydlo - whatever he puts his hands and mind to, brings smiles upon the faces of Young & Old! What a fantastic Teacher & Chemist Extraordinaire! His lectures are 80 minutes of Fireworks in the Man himself!
This guy is the best for any of the chemistry RI presentations by far. The rapid pace, enthusiasm, and even active improvisation/learning on his behalf is...well...the essence of educating both oneself and the group being educated. Reminds me of my 9th grade teacher to some degree from 20 years ago. Just super into it.
As much time as he spend on the polutions of coal.. it should be mentioned that we do add anhydrous ammonia, overfire air, nox burners, bag houses, scrubbers, and many other things to reduce and nearly eliminate the effects of the pollution during its use.. no one talks about those improvements as much as the bad stuff..
That was an incredible demonstration, and I wish we had this type of passionate demonstration in the U.S. Good job, and please keep up with the public sharing of knowledge!
Now Oscar has legs that Lance armstrong would envy. Lol. Seriously this has yet been another wonderful lecture. I’ve learned so much about coal. Which is amazing as many of my relatives have been and still are in fact coal miners in Kentucky and West Virginia. I love how he blends in history with his lessons as well.
I've been aware about the complexity of coal chemistry since I witnessed how an industrial reduction oven, for iron production, started as a gigantic rotating straight tube, and finished looking like a saxophone, thanks to a couple of engineers specialists in coal. That oven worked for a week or two and needed a costly desobstruction with tools, dynamite and a lot of hard work. After the enhancements, the last time I knew about, the oven was working non stop for 6 months. It had to stop sometimes to replace the worn out internal refractary bricks layer. Science is really cool. And Prof. Szydlo is a hell of a chemist. Thank you professor.
Absolutely love watching him. I recognize his time crunch energy. Ri sets time constraints obviously and he masterfully moves to its maximum effect. I wish he was my chef teacher when I was in school. Mine were good but he is intoxicating. I can’t stop watching his next enthusiastic next experiment.
Thank you very much Ri for having Andrew Szydlo presenting real science by a real scientist. real science is simple, challenging require hard work and dedication, but rewarding to scientist and society. Ferydoon Shirazi MG1
Brilliant, totally insane, and enthralling! Manages to cover so much, from pure chemistry to socio-politics, with no change in the enthusiasm . Why were my teachers not as driven?
Never ceases to amaze me how humans have built upon the knowledge of our predecessors. All those generations..all those years....we are the benefactors!!!
@@iteerrex8166 He is normally more energetic than this. I think he just has too much going on in his head to keep his mouth in line, nothing wrong with his lectures. Also, *than.
Andrew, I wish you had been one of my teachers 30+ years ago, I am only now getting to really enjoy chemistry and physics after watching several of your lectures. Thanks so much

I remember, when I was at secondary school, that one of my science teachers built a complete gasworks in glass. It took up the whole of a long bench at the back of the lab. He produced several substances from the coal, including ammonia, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide etc. He also demonstrated that coalgas itself gave very little light when burnt at a jet, but lots more if impurities were added. He did this by bubbling coalgas (town gas) through benzene before burning it. It was demonstrations like this that confirmed by desire to be a science teacher.
48:54 - I've watched every Szydlo presentation there is online, but this scared the shit out of me. 😱🤯 Credit to how cool he is when things go wrong that this could have resulted in something much worse, say if I were holding that lamp I'd probably instinctually pitch it stage left, right, backstage or towards the audience...
Fascinating lecture - I wish I had had a Chemistry teacher of this kind! Just one thing struck me as strange: he talks about all the benefits of coal, but doesn't mention its drawbacks - all the air pollution caused by burning it (look up "The great smog of London 1952" if you want an example) , and in particular, the climate crisis caused by the CO2 released in the combustion.
Andrew Szydlo's commentary on the progress of an experiment sounds more like a commentary on a horse-race. I love watching his presentations. He is full of such enthusiasm for what he does.
I am a Chemistry teacher in a secondary school, I recognize my knowledge and pedagogy are so poor after watching his videos. I can see how broad is his knowledge and passion for Chemistry, thank you, Andrew.
Well I guess every teacher pales in comparison with Andrew Szydlo, what a blast. This is unheard of. Just a little bit of his enthusiasm will be sufficient to inspire your students! Good luck
At the advanced age of 78 I have ti say really enjoy the Royal Institute presenations. I think I would be my education would be greater. It is unfortunate there not more of this man's style of instruction. He has a wonderful approach.
cavokdotcom - I grew up in rural England and once again, I now live in a rural area and I describe the smell of a rural area as a mixture of coal-fires and cow-shit... and yes, I love the smell, too.
Would that not be coke smoke? Coal tends to still have much more of the more choking shite still left in it. Of course it depends on the coal. Straight up top grade hard brittle anthracite has far less than claggy gummy old tarry bituminous coal.
It's like having Lebron James on your class basketball team. They are good, but rare. However, soon robots will take over, and then we will all be able to have great teachers, LOL
great job kinda guy you should want teaching and showing science makes sense why he does it. i love the subject of chemistry and didnt need an amazing teacher to fall in love with it. but this guy he just adds the right energy and showmanship.
I think he babbles far too much personally. Can't finish one sentence before starting another, and ends up being less of an educator than he might otherwise be if he chose his words more carefully and deliberately. But yes, otherwise he's pretty good. I just think he might be getting a bit old for it. Brain not quite as agile as it once was? Maybe he was always this way. :)
3:12...coal has been derived from the compression of vegetable materials, especially cheese . . . .:) 3 days after publishing he has 23,515 views. What a brilliant presenter, If I had had him as a chemistry teacher I would have passed my exams and perhaps gone on to great things.
Interesting experiment with the methane in the can. There's an abandoned coal mine opening near my house. Someone back in the 80s put an oil/gas well through the abandoned works. Looks like it could have the potential to do the same as your experiment with the hill top making like the can!

but it also helps to have a mind instead of a ind...
Very true, The scientific method is QUESTION THE DOGMA
