Moiré patterns are very simply made but inexhaustibly interesting. Rob shows you how to set up some simple steps to make Moiré patterns and designs of your own.
Lol, i love that he mentioned 'the wrong sort of clothes on television' because i first noticed these patterns watching re runs of 'the Rockford files' with all those loud plaid patterns that people wore then.
Seriously, this is THE best show that was on tv when I was a child. Informative, imaginative, surprising, educational and always engaging! Keep getting memories of the puzzle the kids would do. Moving over the wire. Must've imagined doing that myself thousands of times. Now if tv had shows like The Curiosity Show, kids and people in general would be so much smarter. Thank you for putting these episodes and segments up. I hope you'll upload all of them. So incredibly brilliant! Thank you.
Many thanks indeed for such very kind words - lots more at th-cam.com/users/curiosityshhow and subscribe if you haven't already done so and please spread the word- Rob
Fantastic memories growing up in country Vic back in the 80’s, and watching this show! The local network (Southern Cross TV8) seemed to only show this during the school holidays, but we loved it!
When I used to go to museums as a kid they'd have things like showing you heat flow in a fridge, or furnace and you'd have these moving patterns in colour and I never knew how it was done. It did almost have that lenticular quality to it - I wonder if it was done in a similar way to this book. It was very much like palette cycling on computer images, think waterfalls in 8 and 16 bit computer games, but wasn't that.
One of the most famous form of using a moiré as a visual element are the rotating discs in the center of the hand communicators in "Star Trek - the original series" as well as on the bridge of the enterprise on Spocks science-station (The "black and white spiral" kind of display).
Apparently moire is also used in the military so you know if you're in line with the car in front, and also in signage for boats/ships. There was a TH-cam that did a video on it.
Thanks. Curiosity Show was a national science program for children featuring Dr Rob Morrison and Dr Deane Hutton. It was made in Adelaide, South Australia and screened nationally in Australia as well as in Europe, Asia and Australasia (14 countries) from 1972-1990. Deane and Rob intentionally used everyday items around the house (like old cans) so that children could repeat the demonstrations with materials they had to hand. In 1984 Curiosity Show won the Prix Jeunesse International, the world's top award for children's TV programs.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing! I wonder if it would make a difference if the lines or the background were different colours. I also wonder what difference it would make in the distance between the lines!
@@CuriosityShow Wow! It's so cool that you respond to your comments! I am 21, and I LOVE this channel. What the real disappointment is, that I didn't know of you guys earlier in my life haha! But, I have taken that into consideration, and I have 2 nephews in elementary school right now ( I have 2 more behind them that I will watch these with as well ). Us 3 absolutely enjoy sitting down and watching several episodes at once! You and Deane explain everything in such a manner any age group can understand with ease. I thank you guys very much as now, while at least watching your channel.. learning is made fun! Unlike the educational system in America now.. haha, but I digress. Have a Great day! - Gregory Hand

You've got to love the English language. Good luck to anyone learning it as a second language! You can draw a circle with a pair of compasses and if you have two magnetic compasses, you also have a pair of compasses.

Haha. I just love grids and patterns and moirés! This video reminds me of myself when I'm trying to show other people something I think is cool and mathematical. If I made these things and showed my friends, they'd be like "OK... but do you really have nothing better to do?" and I'd be like "Wait, look! Isn't this neat!?". Anyway, I like your videos a lot. :)

When some lines hit your eyes with a thin paper ply that's a moiré.
Haaaaahahahaha
I see what you've done there ♪♫ :D
Brilliant! Haha!
🎼🎵🎶 When patterns hit your eyes made of parallel lines that's a moire 🎶🎵
ROTFLMFAO

WHY ? It's not recorded in 2022 ? I must be old-fashioned...

this is my new favorite channel for all time

The original Star Trek got good mileage on this trick; instrument panels, tricorders, displays on the bridge, etc.
One of the most famous form of using a moiré as a visual element are the rotating discs in the center of the hand communicators in "Star Trek - the original series" as well as on the bridge of the enterprise on Spocks science-station (The "black and white spiral" kind of display).
I believe the grid-discs were mounted on stopwatches inside the communicators to spin them and give the moire pattern.
When a grid's misaligned
with another behind
That's a moiré...
When the spacing is tight
And the difference is slight
That's a moiré
Beautiful! We used to get these beautiful cards, made in Japan. 1980s to 90s.. horses galloping, seafaring vessels...
I had that book as a child! I recently bought it again on a used book site for nostalgia's sake ❤️
I've always found these patterns on the TV fascinating, and some instances, distracting or 'noisy', to watch. Thanks Rob.
3:48 true to life turning
3:52 you can even feel the sea panning away.
nice accomplishments for the era. would be ultra magical back then.
yeah they're pretty awesome
Och, that music at 3:37... the true magic!
Oooh that last clip makes me want to layer multiple moiré things together.
What a great skivvy, Rob. :-)
Yes, I became a bit known for skivvies. Deane tended to favour shiny shirts. We are both wiser now - Rob

Gotta love the synth music around 3:35
Synth music is great :) 3:38

Now I know what to do with all those tablets of acetate sheets I accidentally ordered.
Woow! Mind blowing!👏🔥😱

3:37 good acid trip, ain't gonna lie to ya
i actually feel smarter from something on youtube. every school should watch these shows.

What that music while showing the patters? Sounds really cool
Sorry, can't help. The producer used to add that in post-production, so we were not around to know what it would be - Rob

As a Graphic Designer, I know about moire patterns all too well
So cool
It's amazing that we don't have lines on our TVs anymore.
The intro/outro music reminds me of beefheart
Why don't they teach this in schools
Chandravijay Agrawal at art schools they do :/
Because schools no longer teach, they indoctrinate.
The last thing schools want is for students to think.
So that's how the newspaper in Harry Potter works. I love it.
another like for this channel
Very interesting thing.i like this video.

Why did you need the colored paper? 😁
2:34 A question:
This effect (from this video) also works on my OLED monitor. But why? Was this video recorded from an old TV? I'm confused.
40 years later, the moire patterns show up on a computer screen.
You have to draw on plastic with a permanent marker or else it will smudge.
I should’ve gotten high before that bit 3:38. Nice!!!!!
these are the patterns you see in some lawn chairs through windows
Bruh I was I was still in high school so I could just do this for the whole class
Perfect muffin top jeans
This is also how polarization works on sun glasses
i had a case of beer
i can see moiré
I thought that this was some sort of Tim and Eric-esque parody of childern's shows, but it's actually real.

A pair of compasses? Ive only ever heard it called "a compass"
A compass is that magnetic thing that points to north. A pair of compasses is this device for drawing circles - Rob
Thanks, Rob!
You've got to love the English language. Good luck to anyone learning it as a second language! You can draw a circle with a pair of compasses and if you have two magnetic compasses, you also have a pair of compasses.

"A pair of compasses, a ruler," and this... garry gum.
You can tell how old this clip is by the fact that he refers to the horizontal lines on old cathode ray televisions.
What sorcery is this

2:12 it's pretty obvious they hadn't needed to use accents before
and moiré is better translated as shimmering
When kids TV entertained and educated instead of moronic nonsense to sell advertising .
Many thanks - why not subscribe at th-cam.com/users/curiosityshow hundreds more segments - Rob
rob will you be my grandpa
Oh no the lid :c
Don't you moiré 'bout a thiiiing
I think i am this guy.
That would be a bit worrying for both of us! - Rob
