I remember the first time I saw this segment! ...and I remember being confused for the rest of the day about "Metal Salts"... and trying to rub table salt onto the copper base of a saucepan to see if it turned blue... and it didn't work, shaking my faith in the show a little :) (I would have been about 7 years old...)

@CuriosityShow 7 жыл бұрын

Yes, it is a little confusing. The salt we put on our food is sodium chloride or common salt. But there are scores of other salts - some are coloured and some are poisonous. To turn your saucepan base blue, you would have needed an acid. Deane.

Deane explained how a fax machine worked by using graph paper and telling rob when to fill in squares. Years later when I held a fax in my hand for the first time I could see the black squares in the letters and knew exactly how a fax machine worked. Thanks Deane. Not only did I learn from Deane how a fax worked, I understood pixels as a little kid, and 40 years later pixels are still my job in my AI work.

You can make a self starting siphon from bendy straws. Make them into the shape of an M with one hill slightly higher than the other. I don't remember where I saw a guy doing this... oh hang on. It was on this very channel.

@CuriosityShow 6 жыл бұрын

Australian. 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. Rob and Deane are steadily uploading segments at kzfaq.info
