I agree, my Father worked for Hamilton's for nearly 40 years, he had one arm and was fantastic with the jet boats, did the Hamilton spin perfectly

Absolutely agree

The jet engine wasn’t invented by Mr Hamilton he took someone else’s design and pattern it under his name

@amikawellesley4694 check your facts he pioneered it's development in 1949/50 , I was very involved with jetboats I the late 70s hand making different manifolds & exhausts for racing engines on different types of engines for South Island rivers

@@patrickmckoy5491 Fact is he was working with my grandfather in the design of the water propulsion system and patient my grandfathers work under his name giving the actual engineer no credit.

It's Strang coffee, and the building is still there, off Esk st, almost opposite the Council offices, behind another newer building.

I think he refined it to the point where it was useable.

Don’t upset the convicts they live to steal everything Kiwi.

Pavlova with other names, has existed for about two centuries before NZ or Australia argued over inventing it.

@@kentl7228 Evidence?????? Source??????

@@Chayse05 “To start with, we undertook a forensic examination of both the Kiwi and Australian legends, and new facts [were] quickly revealed that flip the narrative completely,” Utrecht said. “By the 18th Century, large meringue constructions incorporating cream and fruit elements could be found in aristocratic kitchens across German-speaking lands, so the thing we call a pavlova today is actually more than two centuries old.” "Soon, she said, women in middle-class European kitchens began creating meringue cakes topped with whipped cream, nuts and fruit or fruit preserves. Utrecht said Europe was in turmoil with the Napoleonic wars in the 1800s and when people moved and settled in other lands, the pavlova-like desserts went with them. “By 1860 you can find it in Great Britain, Russia and North America,” she said. “I have made a couple of cakes from 1850 that I have served to guests and asked what it was, and they say pavlova. But I tell them it’s not, it’s a schaum torte, which means ‘foam cake’ in German.” Utrecht said recipes for shaum torte arrived in South Australia in the lead-up to World War Two, when there was a large influx of German immigrants."

What we want to believe and what reality is, disappointing can be to some. Like Richard Pearce being first to fly. Bullshit sorry. In fact, every second damn nation has someone that supposedly were first before the Wright Brothers. Even though none of them invented the wind tunnel, custom engines and invited the press... Pearse was a clever dude but there was no aerofoil shape to the wing

yes I thought of that first too

Same

spotting knives

That's pretty cool. I wonder if he could've got a bigger offer if he shopped around?

That's cool , but what a bummer, sure think the royalties over the years would have been $$ more ! .

The uninterruptable electric fence.

Or indeed, the OG

India has the world’s fastest Indian 🤔

He didn't invent anything though. What he did do was build-up one hell of a motorcycle

@@29tinkypoo when you build things from something basic to race you are inventing and proving concepts. Impeller water pumps came before Hamilton jet.

@@IcchiNutz check my comment on @29tinkypoo

Romans did that

I just remember the low speed one. and the sadistic dental nurse. Hastings NZ

@@peterwhite7252 - That's why the Wellington Dental College was tasked with making a better dental drill. A I remember the dental nurses. There is a reason we called it the torture house.

@@peterwhite7252I’m sure she travelled the country, but she let me play with the mercury on my hand 😳

Yeah the murder house . Where I got a gum infection and didn't know until my teeth started falling . Thanks to all dental nurses from the sixties .

Damn not the back shot marker

I’ve seen many in Queensland whilst trail riding.

And aren’t there McIndoe scissors?

played a part in the oiling of driza-bone coats

No

Yes anchor and sheep meat industry ​@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367

Probably still in Taranaki 😂

Refrigeration of meat for transport originated in Australia

Yep, I heard about that one just after I finished making the video.

It was the Wright Brothers. Every second nation seems to have someone that was first, but they all never thought to prove what they did, just claim it after the Wright Brothers did it.

Nah we don't need to cheat to compete mate, we're good enough on our own 👍

@@65adventures What about the second man to scale Mt Everest?

L&P (Lemon & Paeroa) is a sweet, lemon-flavoured soft drink manufactured in New Zealand. The drink is considered Kiwiana, and was traditionally made by combining lemon juice with naturally carbonated mineral water from the town of Paeroa. Today, it is manufactured by multi-national Coca-Cola.

@@Aotearoa_Kiwi Yip. Knew that. How many of us kiwi's say L & P?! Most of us shorten it to l n p don't we 😀

It's a shitty drink

Ethiopia had it for hundreds of years.

@@Nathan-ry3yuLOL.

@@Nathan-ry3yu They still had to crush the coffee. So not instant.

Jet boating was used by the American Army well before some kiwi try to claim this invention as theirs , if it wasn't for NZ the world will still be flat / ''an example to the world'' as you constantly repeat that

Go on then, stay ignorant 😂

Thanks mate.
