Congrats on 10 years Ben. Yours is one of the first channels that inspired me to make some videos of my own (not to mention the book deal). And I won't feign that my channel's generic-sounding name and orange insignia aren't just a little bit derivative. Here's to 10 more!
You copied his hair too didn't you. I'm on to you.
Ah I just thought about you before I decided to look at the comments
Both of your channels have some of the best content I have ever gotten to enjoy on this site
I love it when Science Dad comments on Science Uncle's videos! y'all are both amazing
@@StormBurnX hahaha, personally, I think of the guy from Tech Ingredients as Science Dad, and Grady as Science Uncle. Which I guess makes Ben Doc Brown. He even has the DeLorean.
@@GigsVT Hot active brain needs to cool down, evolution.
dude, your 10 years of youtube content are a credit to humanity. you demonstrate all the best qualities of a person: hard work, intelligence, creativity, curiosity, fearless action, humor, and humility. much thanks for all the amazement and inspiration! *respect.*
Perfect comment 👌🏽
Indeed. Thank you Ben. 🙏🏻
What Douglas said.
Here here!
I can only imagine the reaction of his 2011 audience: " Next week we will diverge a little from our usual content, and instead of baking a new cake, I will show you how to build your very own electron scanning microscope!"
"Doing a phase-change is one of the party tricks that I was known for" what an incredibly interesting sentence
The honesty and effort in this channel is much appreciated!
Way to go on ten years!
It's really nice to see all of science youtubers coming together
What you put on this website in 10 years would take me 100. The amount of human knowledge on display is truly staggering, and your straightforward and candid presentation has doubtless inspired thousands to try their hand at seemingly impossible tasks.
Thank you.
He is proof an education is worth while. You never know what is waiting for you until you know the right questions to ask. edit: im going back as a dropout, and im pursuing my degree because of people like him.
Getting a degree can be worth it. But even more than that, it's about a drive to understand how the world actually works, and how to build things
@@DavidKristoffersson
I think we are all in agreement here if we simply point out that "education" does not only take place in "schools". And that "degrees" are not a true measurement a persons "education level" and much less their level of knowledge and abilities.
Best regards.
Do not undervalue yourself. You would be shocked at what is possible to learn if you start reading research papers and frantically googling everything you don't understand, consult a textbook or two, and filter it through a reality check of actually executing a project. The most difficult part is to believe in your own capacity to progress that far enough to take failures as enjoyable challenges to overcome rather than walls you slam into.
This level of understanding is what, how and why things can be interpreted as Actual Intelligence and Intuition proof-disproof by doing a working model, and having the Artificial Intelligence of practicing what you think you understand until you have an operational Principle of testable theory and not so much absolutism that is actually subject to Uncertainty Principle approximation, all-ways here-now-forever.
What drew me to you was the fact that you're a maker who didn't stop at LED's
Oh my god, yes.
@@filipenicoli_ right? Like don't get me wrong it's great if you can make something shiney but I want something that's mind boggling. Like making your own liquified air.
Easily one of the most impressive efforts of a single person reproducing science AND we get to watch. Here’s to another 10 years!
10 years! There are several videos I need to go back and watch. I love the idea that you originally just wanted to show something on the internet doesn't really seem to be showcased. I try to keep track of those moments where I'm searching for inspiration for something, a project, etc. and there just doesn't seem to be any information on the subject. I know its something I should do, or build, myself.
Congratulations on 10 years to one my my favorite TH-camrs! Have you ever thought about doing any projects with Terahertz radiation emitters and detectors (like those in airport body scanners)? I feel like it's one of those things with very little information about online, and would be really cool if you can pull it off in a home shop. Industrial devices are really expensive and not easily accessible. Seems like the perfect formula for your channel!
I, too, would love to see something like this.
yes please.. Thz is the dark gap on the astronomy spectrum too!
10 years of the best content on YT. Thanks Ben.
My personal favorite :
- How corrosion inhibitors protect metal
- Electro-osmosis
- DIY Raman Spectroscopy
- DIY Mass Spectrometer measuring potassium in dietary salt substitute
You mentioned tMS, but what about doing a project on tDCS?
Raman spectroscopy to me always sounds like you're analysing noodles 😉
A cool video would be discussing some of the most challenging things you've overcome to complete a project, or interesting solutions to problems.
2:10 *let’s all take a moment to appreciate that Applied Science was one of the FIRST people on social media and internet video archives to share how to make a fondant cakes and etc* . And started the tiktok Snapchat and instagram bakery confectionary scene literally years before there were tens of millions of videos and millions upon millions of flashy colorful baked goods videos
Dude you don't even know how much good you brought to the world by doing what you like :)
Congratulations! You are a great inspiration. The aerogel experiments brought me to your channel
2 years down already, 8 more to go til part 2. Can’t tell you how much we appreciate you and what you do. You’re one the only reasons I watch TH-cam. The rest are the likeminded creators who comment here occasionally
I had no idea you worked at Valve. That’s pretty awesome! Congrats on 10 years!
I would love to hear more about his experience working there.
HL3 confirmed!
Their company structure is very flawed and apparently quite hostile. Competitive but nasty. I'm not envious.
I'm still waiting for you to turn the Delorean into an actual time machine. :p
"So anyway I happened to have a flux capacitor lying around from a video that never came to fruition, which was perfect for this opportunity"
It already is a time machine, it's how he got here from the future.
@@rocketsocks Suddenly it all makes sense. :p
He did it back in 2026. You must have missed it.
Technically he already has.
every apprentice had to make a masterpiece to be accepted by his peers as a qualified craftsman. the microscope was your magnus opus announcing yourself to the world. Congratulations on some incredible content. And have another ten years of amazing machines.
Too bad the cookie individualizer wasn't all that well received. That video introduced me to Applied Science and is one of my favorites.
Same here :D
The fact that you don't have 10 million subscribers is proof positive that this site's algorithm does not select for quality or information value. You're the best practical science videographer on the planet.
I'm happy there's an upload
I actually really loved the cookie machine. Its such an interesting idea, and it really showed the development process that goes into a brand new piece of equipment.
Awesome projects and videos. Boy, do I miss Maker Faire. We should try to revive that thing.
The first video I ever watched of yours was the Rubber Band Refrigerator. It was featured in some article like the Verge or something and it drew me in. Been subscribed ever since.
Imagine that viewer eagerly waiting for the next cake video and there's a SEM instead.
And not one cake video (apart from some sweets) afterwards! Now we know where those 2 dislikes come from.
He worked at Valve! The cake is a lie!
Ben, your channel has long been one of my absolute favorites, not just for the content (which is amazing) but also your somewhat “no frills” approach to video post-production. You present information clearly, intelligently, and in a manner that doesn’t patronize or lecture your audience. It’s reminiscent of having a cool neighbor or cousin who’s always got a project going, and wants to show you something interesting in his garage shop-and I mean that in the most complimentary way.
Also, I sincerely appreciate a channel that doesn’t overtly clickbait, and doesn’t need a minute-long, boilerplate, intro/extro sequence. I wish more creators would just abruptly end videos with “See ya next time, bye!” ...that makes me smile every time.
Your methodology and projects drew me in of course, but the video style kept me coming back for more.
Applied Science, Practical Engineering, and NileRed remain tied for my three favorite channels. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for all you do!
_"Doing a phase change in front of everyone became one of the party tricks that i was known for."_
*Hydro-Man confirmed*
'The cake is NOT a lie'
Finally. I had waited so long.
Either the "Pop rock" or the "Super critical CO2" is what got me onto this channel.
My favourites:
- vacuum chamber with sputtering.
- the cold trap refrigerator thing.
- the magneto-optical effect of oil
- silicon wafer etching.
-hologram on chocolate
AND
- the AM transmitter thing in the vintage truck.
10 years! Nice achievement!
BTW, there WAS a video of someone pouring LOx onto a lit barbecue that I saw about 25 years ago. George Goble from Purdue University, the inventor of one of the first HFC's to replace CFC's in refrigeration, published a video of himself pouring a gallon of LOx onto a barbecue. He did it a couple of times the same year - until the local fire department asked him not to do it again.
I just love the idea.
Glad you are still making videos, I've enjoyed every single one and some of my college classes have referenced your videos!
Your best project in my opinion are... all them. But that from sputtering are one that I watching about 100 times.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane Ben.
You and Jeri were my favorites back then.
I always enjoy your video's Ben! Thanks for taking the time to share your projects and experiments with us!
My favorite thing about this channel is what you said near the beginning of the video: every video you've posted has explored something I've never heard of before. My introduction to your channel was the electron microscope video. Before then, it hadn't even occurred to me that a person could build something like that solo, without hundreds of thousands of dollars in parts. And the detailed, meticulous, scientific way you go about things is just as much a pleasure to watch now as it was back then.
Congratulations on 10 years, and many happy returns!
"at home" gets me every time .. love your projects, you're a real world "Reodor Felgen" which is just the coolest character ever.
thanks for staying true to the cause, providing quality content and not turning to advertising in your videos!
This overview brings back a lot of good memories. Personally I think the electron microscope project got me hooked to your channel. Looking forward to more exciting projects.
The Apollo DSKY gets my vote. It was the first of Bens videos I watched and I would have thrown my toys out of the pram at escape velocity over that one. I am *so* glad we have more content on the way! Ben rocks. Well, pop rocks... :-)
Feels like yesterday when I watched Dave Jones' EEVBlog and something prompted me to search for Electrical Impedence explanation videos.
Thankfully, some dude called Ben K. delivered. Boy, did he deliver.
I came to learn about AC, stayed for the electron microscopes and food experiments.
Never change, Ben.
A cool idea would be to talk more about how you choose your projects, the difficulties that we as viewers might be not aware of and the channel in general. Are there any projects that you worked on, but didn’t finish that never ended up on TH-cam? What topics would you cover if you had unlimited time/resources/equipment?
And of course congrats on 10 years! Love your channel
five years ago the head of the robot team at work suggested you, not disappointed. You see the atomic world and explain it magnificently , The cavity mixing laser, and the double cycle fridge, I would be interested to see more cold experiments . I think these are not as popular as making plasma but maybe a more unexplored domain ?Love your work,
Maybe a video on how you research a new process would be good since it is a skill you have developed over the years, and you are good at presenting ideas/processes. where do you look for papers, how do you decide if they have the info you want? Teach a man to fish...
other channels have tons of video. But in this channel, the content quality is the standard of engineering and creative work in TH-cam
Your videos on sputtering and supercritical CO2 brought me here, and you've been one of my favorite channels ever since. I've been lucky enough to watch you as pure edu-tainment in high school, all the way to using you as a resource/inspiration in my professional engineering/R&D career. You provide an amazing service to the world by democratizing techniques and knowledge that would otherwise be inaccessible due to obscurity or obfuscation, and I for one can't thank you enough. Here's hoping for another 10 years!
I like your ethos of 'It's not always about the result, but about the journey there' - we try to teach that in our school to aspiring engineers.
For what it's worth, I thought that your cookie machine was one of your best projects to date. I'm a hardcore engineer, so this one really hit home.
Realizing this now was an entire decade made me feel older than i want to admit :D
Honestly, this channel is far above great... As a scientist working of a huge pharmaceutical company I am amazed on how you build stuff that we buy for ridiculous prices... I use your videos to teach apprentices
What a lovely retrospective
I, for one, really liked the idea of the cookie machine. The recipe on the back of the chocolate chips isn't optimized for making the best possible cookie, but for making a good cookie that's easy to make. My favorite recipe uses browned butter and more egg yolks than whites. Neither of those things are going to show up on the chocolate chip package. If I were to design a cookie testing machine, I would have a separate feeder for egg whites and yolks, try different ratios of brown butter to regular butter, and I would use all white sugar and have a molasses feeder rather than messing with white sugar, light brown sugar and dark brown sugar.
Another of my favorite projects was the water jet cutter. Interestingly, there's now a desktop water jet cutter commercially available. It's more expensive than your setup, but it has its own CNC gantry, so you don't have to own one to bolt it to. It's still out of reach for most hobbyists at $8k though.
I have been hearing about people building laser water jets in their home shops. That would be an interesting project, not sure anyone's documented that on TH-cam yet.
cake videos --> engineer videos --> mukbang videos?
I am also a Silicon Valley Engineer and this is my FAVORITE youtube channel!
Your channel and AvE are two of my favourite channels on TH-cam.
Cheers, Buddy B!!!
Here's to another 10!
My favorite was the cryogenic treatment of drill hits personally
It's a crime this man doesn't have 10 million subscribers yet. TH-cam's algorithm must be broken.
Amazing channel! Can't wait for 10 more!
I remember when I first found your channel, siting in my parents basement around 2014, probably a bit hungover. Watched every video you had at the time, and sent the channel to everyone I knew who might enjoy it. Still to this day while I get a ton of youtube notifications, when I see one from Applied Science, the next moment I have time I know that's the video to watch. Congratulations on the last ten years and here's to the next ten!
We really stand on the shoulders of giants. It's incredible to see how your videos and your creations helped spawn so many other amazing videos and creators. It's almost poetic.
Congrats for your 10 years Ben!!. I have always considered you as the most skilled person I have ever known in the field of general science!! Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Adrián
I really dig the format and would love to hear more background stories about the projects you have done so far!
Congrats Ben - I well remember those early days - the electron microscope I think was where I started. No doubt, many will have learned a huge amount from you. Thanks for all you have contributed.
One channel that is most awaited and most unexpected, both, in terms of timing and the subject matter. That's why I love it! I wish Jeri Ellsworth made guest appearances. She's the reason I'm here.
There is many videos I haven't seen, but need to see. Glad you had this retrospective.
I always refer to this channel as "Ben over at Applied Science" as it's done so by other channels I watch. And it's really outstanding content
Amazing! Thank you for all your efforts Ben, always a pleasure to watch your videos
I subscribed since vinyl record under microscope video. Since then, I have never regretted and never cease to be surprised by each new video!
I absolutely love your videos, always looking forward to the next one. Keep up the good work!
Only 250 videos? The information density of each video is crazy with how much I feel like I've learned from this channel.
Oh, congratulations! That's a great milestone.
personally, the glass making video has always been my favorite
Congratulations on 10 years! It has been very fun, educational and inspirational. Hope you stay with us for lots of more years.
Thank you for everything!
10 years. Man, what a journey. Thank you, Ben, for an amazing channel that always expands the mind.
the most underrated science channel on youtube
Incredible work!
Food videos are always easier for the general public to relate and somewhat understand. The astronaut icecream one is probably my favorite to this day.
Congrats on a decade and cheers to another!
One of my favorite videos was the rubber band refrigerator. First of your videos I ever saw.
Thanks for an amazing 10 years.
Your ability to go to any lengths necessary to create things people would normally only expect to see come out of a university lab. Have inspired me and i'm sure many others to stretch their own personal boundaries on what is possible for a home gamer.
Heartfelt congratulations from a longtime subscriber! :)
Sick at home and watching TH-cam videos. In all honesty, I had put this video at the bottom of the pile - I've been disappointed far too often by such remix videos - and now finally, after running out of things to watch, I got around to it and WOW! What a great surprise. Thanks Ben, and I'm sorry I treated your video with such disdain. I was very, very wrong!
I just found your channel lately, and I find it great. Keep up the good work man!!!
Congrats on the milestone! Thanks for uploading your incredible projects and interests, it's wonderful to watch and learn
I've been a follower of your channel from very early on. I've been inspired from the start.
Have no clue how this guy is still under a million subs. Nothing but pure gold here.
Love your process. Keep up the good work.
Congrats Ben! What an awesome collection of videos.
This was a very nice retrospective. I have not seen some of your earlier videos. I'm going to go back at watch them.
ben we need your videos now more than ever. youtube is so dry, and people need science in their lives now more than ever
I’m down for another one of these.
I don’t have time to watch all of your videos so it’s great to see a lot of them in one pace. For the videos that I have seen it’s still fun to re-experience them.
Thanks Ben, Really great to be reminded of these again! Hope they keep coming for another 10 years!
Ben, everything you do is incredibly interesting. I only wish you had time to produce a new video every day.
Thanks for 10 years! The mention of Maker Faire brings back a lot of good memories. I very much miss Maker Faire and still hope one day they can bring it back.
Best channel in the history of TH-cam!
Time moves so fast. I've been following your projects for 8-ish of those ten years, it feels like a treat every time there's something new from you. You have shown me many genuinely interesting things and I appreciate your perseverance and curiosity. Thanks Ben!
Congrats! 10 years doing really cool and inspirational videos... Simple "thank you" is just not enough!
And to be honest, you are one of the best people, that inspired me to take on similar hobby.
This video earned my subscription. I'm excited to have discovered your channel and look forward to future videos!
