"If I was Cody, I'd be willing to do it." I unironically lol'd.

I am a physicist and specially trained in vacuum- and plasma physics and therefore I can only tell you: This was the most brilliant precise correct and clear explanation of the matter I ever happened to see on KZfaq.

My high school physics teacher had a collection of short tubes like neon tubes, with various pure gasses which he placed into a high voltage display. He passed out refractive grids for us to look at the samples through, so we could get a basic understanding of chromatography. Most memorable high school class ever!

I am a retired electronics engineer/programmer and you do a great job at explaining the subject matter very clearly and I find your presentations very interesting.

His confidence in fusion being available in 5 years leads me to believe he’s building a tokamak in the next room.

This man just casually whips out a turbomolecular pump like it's a common household item. Best channel on KZfaq.

@ Tech Ingredients - I just want to thank you for the EXCELLENT quality of the content on your channel. As a totally disabled senior citizen who is home bound and can no longer afford the high cost of cable television, I watch You Tube videos for the vast majority of my entertainment. Your content is superior to 99% of the information that is available on this forum. Thank you for sharing the projects and processes that you undergo in such a well presented fashion that everyone can understand and learn from. THANK YOU!!

Hello there, Excellent videos. I'm happily retired and in my 70's, I used to work at the UofB in the UK designing and building scientific and electronic equipment and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Many people use such equipment to obtain results/qualifications etc but may not actually enjoy the workings of the apparatus. Similar to you I found my work fascinating and your videos are a reminder of how I felt before I retired. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Many thanks Chris.

3:51 "If I was daring-or if I was Cody-I might be willing to do it." Classic line. XD

I like that he explains it like i'm gonna decide to build one this afternoon.

I love how you explain all the reasoning for every piece of equipment that goes into a project. Also loved "Now if you want to step it up a notch." I started watching your videos a couple of years ago and nobody even comes close to your level of excellence.

Magnificent content! In terms of an immersive experience, you guys put Netflix, Amazon, PBS, Great Courses, the lot of them, to shame! Even when the giant content creators try and present something that is fundamentally of interest, they mess it up; they make it a vehicle for the presenter's ego or 'style', they FORCE drama even when the content is awe inspiring on its own terms, or they gloss over the details because they think the audience can't "handle it". Anyway, I was completely enthralled for the entire video! Thanks so much such enriching content.

“If I was Cody”.... All of Cody’s lab yells in sulfur hexa fluoride voice

Love the Cody reference. He's such a hero.

The details in your videos are amazing. Like heating poly tubing to remove fittings, etc. You seem to think of everything.

The mentioning of Cody's Lab in this video warms my soul in a different way ❤️

Amazing content as usual. It's been said before: "This is what I imagined the internet would be when It was new."

I love how he can casually mention cody's lab and we all know exactly who he's talking about.

This guy is the best. Rare example of KZfaq used for good.

This guy is so full of knowledge in many different fields and expends so much of time and assets to teach anyone who is interested should be commended for his efforts. He is inspiring many young people to go into science and make a positive difference in our world. Thank you sir.

"if I was daring, or if I was Cody" hah! I don't see a comment from him pinned yet, gotta go digging

"hi, today we're gonna start a series of videos, on.... fusion." you have my attention

This was the most detailed video on plasma tube I could find ❤

Humanity is very fortunate to have people like yourself, your understanding and clarity is immense, thank you. 👏🏻

"So I hope you found this interesting" Well, all I can say is that was brilliant. Simply brilliant.

At 11:29 - the way I was taught to handle high voltage was the saying, "One hand in pocky, no get shocky!!" I had a good instructor. Great video, BTW!! Thanks!

My wife and I really enjoy your videos. You make the concepts fun and easy to understand. We really appreciate your hard work. Please keep sharing your knowledge with the rest of us.

Tech Ingredients = adult Mr. Rogers “It was a lot of fun”.... my top 5 channels 🏆🎖🥇🏅

"Look honey, I got rid of the oily mist so we can have it in the bedroom." 33:47 Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"(Deuterium is) probably safe to drink... if I was daring (or I was Cody), I might be willing to do it." I laughed out loud there - for those who don't know, he's talking about Cody from Cody's Lab.

I wish my teachers at school had been so good at demonstrating & explaining PHYSICS. - If they had, I might have had a completely different career. - - Just love the diversity of the experimentation on this channel. . Shout out to CODY'S LAB too.

Great videos! I really appreciate the information density chosen, and the super nice builds. Thanks.

I like how much variety you bring on your channel from moonshine and diy speakers to jet engines and plasma, love it. Thank you.

This channel deserves so much attention! The content is some of the most interesting on KZfaq.

Thanks for being such a great Teacher, I love standing on your shoulders and peering off into a hopeful Future.

Thank you for your love of science! I love your work and have been rewatching your older videos! You make a significant difference in providing quality education.

You always manage to talk like you actually know everything about the subject and have experience about it, and not like you just learned it yesterday. Very detailed explanations like behaviours of different plastics etc. Either you are doing amazing background work, or you just happen to know -everything-. Keep on enter-/educating us. Thank you!

If this man was my teacher when I was growing up, I would've became an engineer. He makes everything so interesting and easy to follow intuitively

Thank you so so so much, man! The way you talk about things and your explanations are so incredibly interesting and understandable! Huge honor to watch and listen to you. I am a huge fan of your channel and love and admire the things and the projects you guys do. You are truly just incredible!!!

This is hands down one of my favorite channels. Always very informative and interesting. I can't wait to see the next video about magnetic fields.

From no other channel can be found such a clear, cogent delivery of facts and fun. Always in the perfect amount! Fantastic work as always, MP👏👏

"It might be safe to drink if i was daring, or Cody. " lol :) one of the many smaller reasons i love this channel.

Thank you for the extremely fun and informative content. Videos like this add to our collective understanding of the universe instead of detracting or distracting as so many others do.

You got a "like" as soon as you mentioned Cody. Knew it was coming. Always makes me smile

at this point when i see a video from tech ingredients, i just open it before reading the caption or looking at the thumbnail. and what do i see there? an hour long video? about nuclear fusion? YES, PLEASE

Me at the beginning of this video: No way I'm gonna watch a 50 minute video about plasma tubes... Me 50 minutes later: Is it over already??

This guy is incredible. He explains everything so well and clearly. I usually struggle to make it through a ten minute video but I just watched all 50 minutes without getting bored 👏👏

the wealth of topics you can get into the details of is quite frankly astonishing, professor! I'm looking forward to the next video of this series

Anybody else shouting "FULL BRIDGE RECTIFIER" at the screen at 14:54?

16:24 Ah ah ah... After a full wave rectifier the pulses come out at 2x the line frequency :)

This is like my 10th video of yours I’ve seen and I’m hooked! I wish I hadn’t changed my major in undergrad from physics to poly sci! Definitely wouldn’t have had I had professors as engaging as you! Keep up the amazing work good sir ... and team!

I retired as an electrician with an insatiable interest in learning more about electricity and electronics. I was trained as an educator and I must congratulate you on your presentations. They are excellent for their thoroughness. Easy to follow your reasoning.

I can't believe I just found this channel. I love the builds and how educational these videos are. I also liked the casual Coady's Lab reference. Thank you for the great content.

MP: "Thermonuclear fusion". Instantly slammed the like button.

This was just awesome. It’s hard to believe technical content this advanced but accessible is even possible. Kudos!

I am no rocket doctor,nor am I a brain scientist,in fact anyone who reads this will be happy that spell check was at full song during this comment. This is the most informative,entertaining and educational channel for the average Lehman or accredited scientist, I quit school in my senior year,2 months pre- graduation,a regrettable move. This fellow makes learning entertaining,and I believe he is beginning to " get" humor! Once again,thank you,A loyal subscriber

Great video! You made a small mistake describing radioactivity: Shorter half life means it's *more* radioactive. Even the simplest tritium-powered glow-in-the-dark keychain sticks can contain multiple *Curies* of tritium. This is why Uranium, even enriched, with a very long half life is far safer to handle than an equivalent amount(by weight) of tritium.

I remember the old phrase "Fusion the energy of the future, always has been, always will be"

If only you had been my science teacher! I love your “bedside manner” as it were. Always comprehensible and understandable

Would love to see more videos on plasmas and high vacuum experiments! Thanks for your amazing videos.

Opens the video with a casual "fusion... thermonuclear fusion energy" O.O I'm listening, boss.

“Today we’re going to begin a series on thermonuclear fusion” That’s hot!

I am loving your channel. You have a gift of explaining highly technical procedures to everyday undereducated people (such as myself). I have a strong craving to learn as much as I can on such current and relevant subject matters as the ones you offer on your channel. I thank you for sharing your wealth with folks like me, who look to expand their knowledge through resources such as this. You encourage fun learning which serves to benefit people around the globe, regardless of class, age, or ethnicity. Thanks again!

Without a doubt the best demonstration of plasmas in low pressure that I have seen. I really appreciate the details that are included about the construction of the test apparatus. I found the details about different materials being used and how they can effect the level of vacuum that can be achieved to be really enlightening. This attention to details is one of the things that sets this channel apart. Keep up the good work.

Wow. This is seriously some of the highest quality content on fusion that I have ever seen. I just watched a 50 minute video and I'm incredibly excited for the next one!

"It's a beautiful thing." The best part is how well presented are the subjects. I recall I had exactly one professor as good as this. Charming to listen, to absorb the knowledge.

This is what I do, I learn things from you tube as I'm entertained whether it's you or the Auto Mechanics I follow.

Thank you once again for stretching my gray matter and enticing my curiosity and imagination, making me smile while absorbing such great input.

The projects really get more fun and frightening with every new vdeo :D

LOL @ "If I was daring...or if I was Cody" (as in Cody's Lab, who actually drank some heavy water)

I could listen to you talk for HOURS! you are so informative and clear with your explanations and demo's!

Awesome! I _really_ like how you give materials info and purchasing info. It's so tempting to run down to the hardware store and get _all the wrong stuff_ but you prepare us to do it right. That's really nice. Thanks for the videos and all the great info!

Would be interesting to see how the supply voltage variations have effect on the plasma characteristics. Loved this one and looking forward to the next in this series.. Thank you for all the amazing content over the years and keep up the good work ! :-)

Congratulations on 400.000 subscribers. One of the best channels on KZfaq that creates meaningful quality content.

I enjoy your projects immensely. I watch every part. Sometimes multiple times. I was a heavy public television user in my early school days. It would be great to see your experiments with public TV funding and production.

Absolutely one of the best channels on KZfaq! Thanks for another great video!

Mr. Tech is the best science in our universe. God bless you, live long and prosper, keep going to the stars and beyond. Paul Rice Lake Charles, LA, USA.

Safety note: The vacuum is a conductor and depending on how you have your power supply (transformer) wired, current could pass from the electrodes through the vacuum in the connecting tubing to one or both metal valves. For example if one electrode is also a ground and you touch the valve on the high-side you might get zapped. Don't touch the valve at both ends at the same time. Cheers, Mark *************************

Wow, absolutely enthralling! I can only echo others and say I wish you had been a teacher at my school! Keep up the amazing work educating.

exploring and discovering along with your videos is always a joy. The Best to you!

This is some of the absolute best content on youtube. I genuinely appreciate how thorough you are and how much you care about the material. I also really appreciate you not telling people "don't try this at home" just because it's dangerous. Fear kills minds and exploration is rarely safe. Keep going.

my favorite science youtube channel I love how you explain everything in popular terms, easy to understand also I can appreciate how well you prepare for each of your videos, I know it takes a lot of work and effort

Your channel is superb! Thank you for all the work& effort that went into making such great content on topics of shared interest. 🇺🇸

Your precise command of the language builds a picture in words of what you are doing. Great communication.

I love this channel more and more every episode. Just brilliant.

I've been subscribed for a little over a year at this point (I think I subbed around the time of the turbojet videos). I'm so glad to see this channel growing and blowing up like it should. It's truly the future that educational content like this exists on the internet for free and is as entertaining as it is.

When I was in 9th grade, I had a biology teacher who would get up in front of the class each day, tell us what chapter to read in the book, and then would sit down at his desk for the rest of the day. He never did any demonstrations, he never did any lectures, and he only ever had us do 2 projects, one of which was a self-sustaining terrarium made out of soda bottles. I can't even remember the other project. The second semester of the same class, a brand new teacher took over and he was highly interactive, doing fun lectures, giving us fun projects to do like filtering pond water with the goal of having clear, neutral pH, odor free water (nobody was going to drink it though!). It was probably the funnest science class I ever had in my 12 years of school. The point here is that people learn way more when the lectures are interesting, and this channel's presentation is amazing for that. It's just enough theory and demonstration that makes it so easy to watch.

Such a badass video!! You are literally teaching people the basics of awesome science. I love the fact that you talk about all different types of things. The first video I watched in your series was pushed to me and it was on making alcohol. I was so blown away when I saw this video on Fusion from the same channel. You sir are one smart cookie. Keep it up!!

"For example, I have here a turbomolecular pump..." I love it!

"If I was daring, or if I was Cody"... That's great... yes, classic. Still laughing. Now have to rewind. Missed 3 mins of video.

Your clear explanation of how plasmas work and your equipment design and hands-on practical (engineering) skills are the best I have seen. I worked for 26 years on the JET Tokamak fusion energy experiment. I am glad to say that the UK government has provided funding for UK’s first prototype fusion energy power plant at West Burton A site in Nottinghamshire, a decommissioned coal-fired electricity generation plant.

I love what a classy person you are, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar!

Overcoming that positive charge to get two particles to link up describes my love life perfectly

Completely enjoyed this one and I am looking forward to the next one. Thank you!

We all need to appreciate that our world has people this smart to contribute to advancements making life better in so many ways,thank you for who you are.

The magnetic effects from 47:00 did my head in. That's fantastical, amazing, magic and whoa.

Woow, this is really interesting!! I've been following you guys for couple of years! My favourite channel! Keep up the good work! 😎👍

Love your simplicity & effective communication abilities.

I love learning about any science. Thanks for your demeanor and sense of humor.

"fusion within 5 year" wow, you sir are a true optimistic person
