      @@0xEARTH I suppose that's true. I wouldn't say it's impossible obviously, but I'm not show how nicely the video may come out depending on the set-up. Molten objects, even lava, are fairly "easy" to record. They're slow, and despite being hot, don't project heat to the point you can't get close (ENOUGH) to them. Same with fire, which was tamed by the cavemen. The waterjet is different, it is extremely highspeed and sprays everywhere.
      They could set the camera outside of the parameter of the water's (lets just call them projectiles,) but as the comment explained I think we might lose the aspect of being able to see the water actually "carve" into the object it cuts.
      The camera isn't as much as a worry as much as the quality (in this case, the quality of a viewer's enjoyment,) of the video is.

    Hi, I've been watching your channel for a while and had a question more about the business side of the water jet. I install flooring and I've worked with a local water jet company a few times to cut complex designs into vinyl floors. They've always done good work but on the last and biggest job there were some issues and I don't know if they're to blame or not. It was a pretty simple design, just DNA and various diagrams of molecules so just a bunch of different size circles and bars connecting them. The problem was that when they cut the colored tiles they used the same dimensions as the outline in the white field tiles. So there ended up being a gap the width of the kerf between the designs and the places they were supposed to fit. It caused some problems since the material is flexible and easy to distort even when solid. Now I doubt we specced two different sizes so that could be it and it was our fault but we've done similar but smaller projects with them previously and whoever programmed the machine at that time realized what we wanted and accounted for the width of the cut. So do you think we should have been more clear, they should have asked for clarification or a bit of both?

You'd still need an antenna that could receive a signal, hook it up to the box, then to the TV which is why I said an old VCR would probably be better and less hassle to hook up and get working. Plus that would be a more more reliable signal as to what is playing if you're going to record it for youtube, don't want to have a TV show or news broadcast on the set while it's being cut, you might be misconstrued as to voicing an opinion on said content, can't have that.

      I would guess that cutting something straight trough the middle gives a different look and Adam wanted to see that, maybe also curious if it looks the way he imagined it. Or he was pissed that he got a electric shock from a television that many years ago, and now he finally seeked out revenge but cutting one in half :p

    The broadcast encoding and frequency standards changed with HDTV/digital television, so unless someone is operating a pirate old school TV station there is nothing the tuner could still decode.

    John login Baird invented the tv 2 years BEFORE farnsworth,you’d be surprised how many inventions are Scottish.

    4:01 OMG, that NOISE! I know it is only analogue white noise, but it takes me back as you no longer have this chaotic, grating sound with our modern digital TVs and radios (although, side note, if I am going to be subjected to interference give me analogue over the FAR more obnoxious digital interference any day, but that's just me). I grew up in the 80s & 90s and I remember my Mum had a TV/Radio combo unit in the kitchen. It wasn't exactly portable - the black & white TV screen was maybe slightly smaller than this one but, extending off to the right of the screen, was a long, analogue, old school type tuner. The whole thing was about the size of a Playstation 5, just slightly longer and slightly fatter. Anyway, Mum had this thing in the kitchen throughout the 1980s, it rarely got used, and for almost a decade it sat on top of the equally obsolete 1980s microwave oven. As a kid I used to think the thing was so cool and I used to flick the switch back and forth which toggled it between being a radio and a TV. Part of the issue was that our kitchen used to be in the basement, and with it being an analogue device, the reception was terrible and 90% of the time, particularly with the TV, all you could pick up was that familiar white noise EXACTLY as we hear at 4:01. Anyway, by the time I was 15/16 (c.1992) I had almost forgotten about the thing. It still sat in the kitchen and, extremely rarely, my Mum would listen to the radio on it but the TV function had not been used for at least 3 years. I was home alone and, no joke, it was Hallowe'en (because of course it was!). At the time we lived in a tall town house and my bedroom was effectively the attic, where I was very lucky and was fully decked out with my own little TV (no flat screens back then, it was a great big lump with a little 14"screen, lol). With it being Hallowe'en, and with me being a dumb teenager, I was watching scary TV shows (I literally think it was the infamous "Ghostwatch" on the BBC which, if you don't know about it, look it up, it was amazing!). Anyway, waiting for the show to end (we had no "pause" in those days) I went down the 3 flights of stairs to the kitchen in the basement to make a tea and grab a snack. Our kitchen was quite long and you could turn the lights on in 2 sections - I switched the lights on for the counter by the kettle, but the old TV/Radio device was now at the far side of the kitchen, in the darkness. As I was making my tea, a little jumpy anyway as it was the middle of the night, on hallowe'en, I am home alone, watching scary TV shows and I'm a stupid teenager, all of a sudden the blasted black and white little TV screen TURNS ITSELF ON .... FULL VOLUME! As it was situated at the far side of the room, in the pitch black, the white fuzzy light of the screen lit that half of the room up like a strobe light, and the rough, white noise sound was deafening. I swear it almost gave me a heart attack and I stared at it from across the room for a second in fright ..... when it just SWITCHED ITSELF OFF AGAIN!!! Right in front of my eyes, with nobody but me in the room, stood well over 10ft from it! I have to admit, I was pretty terrified. I didn't want to go near it at first and I cannot recall if it came back on again or not (I think it did it a couple of times, but it was 30 years ago now so I'm not certain). Anyway, I went over to it and could not see anything wrong with it, so I just pulled it's cable out of the wall. I quietly picked up my tea & my snack, returned to my room in the attic and I did not leave for the rest of the night.
    Turns out it all had a very mundane explanation. It was broken. My Mum had been listening to the radio and the thing had just died. Mum opted for the standard "push every button" attempt at fixing it and, in doing so, she had flicked the toggle switch over to the TV setting, at which point the device had switched back on, on it's own, and then it switched off again. Mum simply switched off the power and had left it alone, assuming it broken. She never told me or anyone else that the thing was kaput. Anyway, earlier that day on Hallowe'en, Mum had had a cleaner come by and dust the house whilst she was away (she must've thought her teenage son who had the house to himself for the weekend was never going to do it himself but I don't know what gave her that idea!!!). Anyway, the cleaner seems to have run her duster over the device and accidentally flicked the power switch back on. However, as the device was broken, nothing had actually come back on and she had never noticed. The device, turned on by the cleaner and left on full volume from my Mother's previous "fix" attempts, sat in the kitchen "dormant", just waiting for my arrival for a midnight snack on Hallowe'en like some evil trap. It was so traumatising that even now, 30 years later, when I hear that White Noise I am immediately reminded of that moment ... and I must make myself a cup of tea ....

    Oh yeah, the best early mornings of my childhood trying to get the B/W crt TV on using its *very* stiff dial which was also the volume. Off to blaring static in the blink of an eye. While trying not to wake the parents, and early enough to only be able to 'watch' the test screen anyway. Lol

    Philo T Farnsworth was not the first person to demonstrate television in the US, never mind the first on the planet. The world’s first public demonstration of "real" television took place in London on 26 January, 1926 before an audience of 40 members of the Royal Institution, Britain’s leading organisation for promoting scientific research.
    The man behind the demonstration was a 37-year-old Scotsman called John Logie Baird. And what he showed on screen, 19 months before Farnsworth, was far superior to Farnsworth’s "blob of light", as it was famously described by Albert Abramson in The History of Television.
    At the 1926 demonstration, Baird transmitted images of the observers from one room to another. The screen displayed half tones - black and white, and shades of grey - using a method he had patented three years before.
